A consideration of how the sun is powered via nuclear fusion. Can be used with interested students, A level students, or a high ability GCSE class.

A powerpoint which considers structure, rotation, orbital characteristics, Van-Allen belt, and distinctive lunar features, for curious, high ability students. Designed for a discussive lesson. One activity that could be done is to use a labelled photo of the moon to teach the order of the Mares, which my students enjoyed immensely.

A fun and interesting lesson, which looks at mass, weight, and gravity. It comes with a data analysis starter, and includes a few videos for free (including Apollo 11 moon landing, Apollo 16 feather and hamemr, and Brian Cox in a vacuum chamber). These videos are also available on youtube if the files don’t work.

A powerpoint with required notes (tied to OCR A specification): Includes an informative introductory video linked to Youtube I=Q/t Q=It Area under a current/time graph Elementary charge Positive and negative charge Net Charge Requirements of an electric circuit Practical True or False Exam question

A powerpoint/lesson for KS4 chemistry on Addition Polymerisation. Matchup starter Keyword definitions Clear explanations Uses & Disposal Plenary Question practice

A lesson with lots of board tasks to prepare students for either an end of unit test or revision for the final exams. Each set of tasks attempts to tackle a small number of the Edexcel 9-1 specification statements for radioactivity. Useful to spot gaps, and also to fill them in. I found the lesson went extremely fast. All the tasks are timed appropriately with a disappearing clock.

An interesting lesson which looks at the momentum equation and it’s application, and provides plenty of opportunities to practice.

A powerpoint for Elastic Potential Energy in materials for OCR A. Covers definition and links with Hookes Law Area under graph and effect of elastic limit Practice problems and questions

A powerpoint with worked examples covering energy types, principle of energy conservation, energy transfers and efficiency, sankey diagrams, KE and GPE, and energy to work done. Includes practice problems and practice exam questions (answers on powerpoint at end)

Supporting Powerpoint for OCR A. Includes notes on: dynamic vs static electricity movement of electrons and ions. conductors and insulators Conventional current vs electron flow Showing a plasma ball is optional and not on the specification but its weird and cool and the students like it. This also applies to the Van Der Graaf Generator if you have one.

Powerpoint/Discussive lessons on science funding and politics. Politics looks at the role of the government and their role, as well as pressure groups and their importance. Funding looks at the money and where it comes from. It considers the pros and cons of state funding for scientific pursuit, as well as the pros and cons of private sources.

A nicely laid out and clear lesson on the acceleration equation and v/t graphs with worksheet support, practice calculations and answers for all questions on the powerpoint, with the lesson plan attached. Objectives: Foundation Be able to calculate acceleration when given the formula Be able to draw and interpret velocity time graphs Higher Calculate the acceleration of an object from the gradient of a velocity-time graph Calculate the distance an object travelled from a velocity-time graph What you get for your buck: A powerpoint with supporting worksheets: A starter question Explanation of acceleration as a vector and the equation, as well as rearrangement options Practice Calculations with answers (on worksheet and ppt) Challenge question for differentiation (on worksheet and ppt) How to interpret v/t graphs with examples of acceleration by gradient and distance Interpret v/t graph worksheet (answers on ppt) Plenary problem worksheet (answers on ppt) Take care and don't forget to review :)

Thrill your students with a fun and weird quiz of 5 sets of 10 questions. There is a printable boardgame you can choose to use to support the quiz, and each question has a spooky, terrifying, or downright silly setting to engage. The topics are: Hell in a cell - cell biology Scared to death - nervous and endocrine systems Eerie evolution - adaptation and evolution Diabolical disease - microbes and health Predatory plants - plant reproduction and transport Have fun, please comment, and don't forget - triffids aren't real.

27 Differentiated worksheets, designed for EAL, SEN, and English Speaking students, for each of the following KS3 science topics: Cells States of Matter Electricity Sound Food and Energy Reproduction Rocks Acids and Alkalis Circulation and Respiration Recommendations: Can be used for homework, consolidation, cementing keywords, revision, starters, plenaries Please leave feedback :)

49 lesson openers for your powerpoint needs! A collection of DO NOW activities for biology lessons (age range 11 to 14, though it can work for some GCSE lessons too). A DO NOW is any activity that you have at the very beginning of class that helps you set the tone for that day. The powerpoint is fully linked to a menu and animated where appropriate. It's very much a download-and-use resource. There is a rationale slide and how to use/things to avoid slide as well. There are 49 different activities that can be used as starters (or plenaries if you like) covering biology topics below: Microscopy Cell Structure Cell Function Plants vs animal cells cellular diffusion unicellular organisms multicellular hierarchy skeletal functions muscles and skeletons muscular function balanced diet energy requirements unbalanced diet digestive system bacteria and digestion plants, carbs, and photosynthesis gas exchange breathing mechanisms exercise, asthma, and smoking stomata and gas exchange reproductive organs menstrual cycle fertilisation gestation to birth plant and flower structure pollination plant fertilization seeds and fruit photosynthesis photosynthetic organisms leaf adaptation recreational drugs substance misuse aerobic respiration anaerobic respiration fermentation aerobic vs anaerobic food webs insect pollinated crops bioaccumulation inheritance DNA Watson, Crick, Wilkins, Franklin Biodiversity Variation Natural Selection Extinction Gene Banks Generic DO NOW activity
