The lesson plan and accompanying presentation for Science students to learn about standard form, aka scientific notation, and common prefixes. The PPT is fully editable and has opportunities for AfL embedded into the lesson. Any images are CC0 license so royalty free. This takes students from guesstimating size, to understanding the need for standard form to recognising standard prefixes such as kilo. There is an accompanying homework task (available separately) - Powers of Ten, Prefixes and Standard form Homework/worksheet.

This resource is an opportunity for students to practice converting to common prefixes such as micro, milli etc. and converting numbers to standard form or scientific notation. There are 20 questions for them to complete and I have included the answers as well! This is aimed at Science students for the new maths content within the new GCSE (2016) for AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC but it would be equally suitable for anyone needing to practice standard form so any Maths students. It is designed as a homework but can equally well be used as a lesson activity. This resource is designed to accompany my Powers of Ten lesson (available separately) which is a good introduction to this worksheet.

A fantastic poster of interesting science books for KS4 students to read. Accompanied by a much longer list of recommended reading for those interested in science.

A structured worksheet to take students through converting prefixes to actual numbers, for example, 10mA. It covers the main prefixes they will come across, micro, milli, centi, kilo and Mega. It enables them to practice a wide range of conversions. Complete with Answer sheet!

This knowledge organiser is a great revision aid for all those maths skills that students need for the new GCSE Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Combined Science. It covers standard form, conversions, definitions of keywords such as uncertainty and precision, graphs and operator precedence. Use it for students as a mat to aid in calculations or as a summary of knowledge to be learned.

This is a tracker sheet that enables students to record when they have completed each required practical for the Trilogy GCSE. It covers the Biology, Chemistry and Physics practicals for the Combined Science GCSE. There is also a useful link to some required practical videos to enable students to revisit these when they are revising.
