I have been a secondary school science teacher for 9 years and have just started using more resources that pupils can use in their interactive notebooks. I have found these are going down very well with pupils and they are using them throughout the year to revise and recap. All my resources are tried and tested and are up to date with the new curriculum at KS3 and KS4.

Start/End of topic test/quiz for ecosystems - KS3

I use this with my year 7's to show progress and to plan for future lessons. At the start of the topic they do the test by just highlighting the answers they think, we quickly mark and make a note of what they get. At the end of the topic we do the test again to show how far they've come. It's really motivational for lower ability students as they might get lower marks but they usually always make progress which boosts confidence. See my other resources for similar tests.

A full set of key word cards for the 3rd unit of the new 2016 AQA GCSE Biology - Infection and Response. I took all of these key words from the spec and put pupil friendly definitions for them. Just print the sheets double sided and cut out the cards for key word cards with the word on one side and definition on the other.

Microscopy presentation, card sort and worksheet

(0)
The PowerPoint goes through images taken from an electron microscope. It then shows the differences between an electron and lit microscope. For this there is a card sort with the answers on the PowerPoint. It then goes through how to work out magnification and there is a worksheet on working out magnification and actual size. Answers are in the PowerPoint. Pupils have loved this, especially the images at the start and the card sort.

Food Tests Foldable - 2016 biology GCSE AQA

Very simple activity to use before or after doing food tests either at KS3 or KS4. Cut along all the dotted lines, fold along the thick line then stick the correct words on the outside to create an easy to use foldable to learn and revise which chemicals are used. On the preview not all of the lines are shown but they are on the downloadable file.

Reflex Arc Foldable - two versions/differentiated

(0)
Just one sheet of A4 to print out. Pupils cut along all the dotted lines and fold down the middle. They then stick the key words onto the outside to give the pathway of the reflex arc. It includes stimulus/receptor/sensory neurone/synapse/relay neurone/synapse/motor neurone/ effector/response. There are two versions, one has an example on the other side so they can put it into context. Pupils can also colour in the key words if they want to.
Meiosis Foldable

Meiosis Foldable

(0)
A single sheet to create a meiosis folding step by step revision aid. You only need to print on one side to save on photocopying and pupils can either stick the steps on the inside or the outside depending on how they want to learn or revise it. This has gone down very well with my year 10 and 11's. I should note this does not include the actual phases as it is designed for the new 2016 GCSE specification.

Communicable Diseases Foldable and Laminate - New AQA 2016 Science

(0)
An A4 sheet to print in colour and laminate - it basically contains all the information from the specification on bacterial, viral, protist and fungal diseases. Then give each pupil an A4 foldable sheet. They cut out both boxes, write key points under the flaps and on the second square and then stick the flaps onto the second square. Can then be used for revision and testing each other. Good for all abilities.

An easy to follow presentation and worksheet allowing pupils to carry out the required practical on osmosis in potato chips. It includes a worksheet with two tables - one for results and one for making up solutions of salt. I have also included an order sheet for apparatus. The powerpoint takes pupils through the practical and has answers to all questions as well as example data and an example graph. This has worked really well with all of my classes right through year 9-year 11 and all abilities.
