This is intended for lower ability groups and in my experience works well. The pictures need improving so please do this on your version!

This worksheet enables students to use key words to describe the structure of graphenes, fullerenes and nanotubesin Cloze passages and a question. It also covers uses of these structures. Suitable for Science GCSE students. Good for a summary, review lesson or homework.

I did this for my Applied Science BTEC group to help them review their work on Trends in the Periodic Table. It would work for AS Chemistry too?

Worksheet with information and questions about the pH scale. Has extension question. Requires some prior knowledge as well as comprehension of the worksheet. Ideal as a homework. Just modified it to make it more accessible after my Year 7s completed it for homework. Good to see if they are reading the information properly!

This is a short power point with some 'real-life' data about temperature differences of some unusual objects. Also some images to stimulate discussion about infra-red radiation. It can be adapted to suit.

I made this for tutorial time as it is a topical subject and it invites a discussion as to whetehr it is worth spending money on space exploration.

This picture is of a hazel shrub with flowering catkins on 11th Jan 2014! There are links to my blog with further pictures and also pictures of summer flowers also in flower in January. Could be used for post-16 Biology. The Salters-Nuffield has a section on phenology for example in topic 5 at A level. Could be used generally in tutor time to think about Global warming and possible local effects. Is this Global warming or is it just that in the SW we have had a mild winter so far?

This was made for my Year 7 to help them review the new KS3 section on atoms, elements and compounds, prior to a test. Could be used as a homework activity.

This is a very successful investigation that encourages students to link observations with theory. Link to a webpage with a photo of one of the results the students obtained.

Tests student's ability to recognise metal/non-metal properties. could be used for an assessment or homework.

Here is information about the Brazil nut Tree, how it is pollinated and the brazil nut seeds ditributed. It is a great starter to illustrate how important biodiversity is to the survival of species.

This resource is for KS3 Science (Biology). It is intended to ask students to summarise the digestion and absorption of food. The power point pictures are given letters and students must number them in order to sequence the processes. They can also briefly describe each process. Alternatively you can make cards from the word document and ask the students to place the cards in sequence.

This resource contains instructions on how to set up this tropism demo and a bit of background on how the plant makes it work. Suitable for GCSE Biology. The students were intrigued and it works extremely well.

Good outdoor activity for primary age. Have done this with Year 4 students in the context of teaching about flowers and pollination.

This is a spotter sheet with pictures and descriptions to help children identify wildflowers. Suitable for primary age from 7 to early secondary 12-13 years. KS2 science curriculum requires children to identify some common plants. Mostly this is an activity children can do with parents and carers to increase their knowledge of the natural world.

Good for a primary school outdoor activity. KS2 Science Year 3 requires children to be able to name some common plants. Primary teachers, please help our children gain a better knowledge of their environment, by spotting what is outdoors.

Trialled with Year 3 students and they loved it! Fulfills Science National Curriculum - identifying common plants. Also could be used as part of an “outdoors” day activities. Part of the Wild Flower Society’s campaign to get children looking at at learning more about flowers.

Activity for “outdoor classroom”. This spotter sheet has information and pictures on it to help identify 5 common wild flowers that bloom in November!

This worksheet was written for AQA GCSE Trilogy, Biology section on Ecology. It is aimed at low ability to get them to think around some of the key terms used, habitat, population, community, abiotic, biotic and ecosystem.

This is a compendium of practical work that works to show all aspects of photosynthesis. It includes some results data that students can analyse. There is nothing startlingly new, ( although there is one practical - fluorescence that I used for the first time this year!), but it is useful as it brings ideas together. It is ideal for non-specialists and teachers new to teaching biology and maybe even for some more experienced teachers looking for different angles. There are a few pages here, as it is a distilled version of over 30 years experience so there is a useful page index. I would appreciate some feedback please.
