No time to spare? Martin Blake supplies reasonably priced resources designed for science and supply teachers in the UK. Each lesson comes with everything you need to deliver, except, of course, you.
I teach the lessons I write, so follow me for regular updates to my catalogue.

A pair of powerpoint resources to support AS Physics OCR A - covers all specification points
Includes:
Potential difference (equation, SI base units, concept, questions)
Electromotive Force (equation, SI base units, concept, comparison with p.d, questions)
A GCSE Physics lesson on terminal velocity with differentiated worksheets and practical activity (will need equipment) based on a class of 24 pupils in 4 groups. It's busy, mucky, and, like all good physics lessons, they've got to work stuff out.
MUST:
Identify forces on a falling object in a fluid
SHOULD:
Use force diagrams to show how force changes during a fall/describe changes
COULD:
Explain terminal velocity/in terms of resultant force/Interpret v/t graphs
Powerpoint is to provide structure to the lesson and includes the plenary. I recommend embedding the online stopwatch.
Starter – individual (Grade C) entry question based on previous lessons
Task 1: Experiment – groups, roles in groups, (calculations v=d/t + mean) B- A grade
Task 2: Group 4 – Aristotle worksheet (B grade) – less wordy task
Group 3 – Galileo worksheet (B to A grade) – task includes acceleration calculations
Group 2 & 1 – Newton worksheet (A grade) – focuses on graphs only
Plenary Exam question – individual, self-assess.
A lesson on Human Evolution for GCSE Biology (off-spec but very engaging). Used to introduce the theory to low to middle achievers.
MUST
state what the theory of evolution is. (Grades G to E)
SHOULD
explain some evidence for evolution. (Grades E to D)
COULD
interpret data to trace an organisms evolution. (Grades D to C)
Recommend a subscription to echalk for the peppered moth activity in the ppt.
The activity uses the Homo-genus posters (print and laminate in colour A3 for best effect and hang around the room). Ask the students to use the posters to construct a timeline of evolution from oldest to youngest.
There is a table on the powerpoint with the approximate years.
I've also included some information for the teacher on hominid evolution if they wish to buff up their knowledge for extra nerd value.
