I am a Science Teacher with 25 years experience and love producing resources. As one of my HoD's remarked "Your lesson plans and resources are outstanding, if only you could teach as good as your resources." Chemistry is my main subject, but have an interest in Pedagogy, especially CASE (Cognitive Acceleration through Science Education) and misconceptions and how to overcome them.

This is a bundle of nine required practicals (or three for £2 see below) that can be done at home (with adult permission/supervision) for this time during whilst students are working from home (Chromatography, Density, Force and Extension, Specific Heat Capacity, Thermal Insulation, Waves, Field Investigations, Osmosis, Plant Response and Reaction Time).
This is all the required practicals that can safely be done at home with household equipment.
It includes all the necessary information, worksheets and powerpoints for students (all files are included in pdf format for easier home access).

This is a compilation of booklets produced to help students studying for the Foundation level AQA Biology GCSE. They can be used in class or at home. They come with PowerPoints to show in class if needed.
They cover:
Ecology
Homeostasis
Infection and Response
Inheritance
Variation and Evolution
I used them in a behaviour unit as attendance affected learning/ I felt students could start where they left off and take the booklet home for revision at the end.

This booklet is suitable for home learning. It covers homeostasis, reflex arcs, eye, short and long sighted, kidneys, diabetes, auxins, geotropism, phototropism, menstrual cycle, contraception. pituitary gland, thermoregulation, pancreas and a few others.
All the information is there in the booklet for the Homeostasis and Response topic at KS4 at Foundation level (AQA, but is suitable for other exam boards). It may also be suitable for some upper KS3 students. It contains 17 content pages where on each page are keywords and definitions, an image/diagram, example and some simple questions and an extension question.

This is a booklet that students can complete at home about the science behind the corona virus (covid 19). Each page contains keywords, diagrams, explanations, questions and extension activities and now project activities such as research and making posters/leaflets. It explains the different types of microorganisms that cause disease and the effects on the body. It explains how our body fights disease caused by viruses (and bacteria) and how a drug/vaccine may be developed.
It is aimed at KS3 11-14 year olds, higher ability Y5 and 6 and lower ability KS4.
The document comes as a pdf for the students to download from your server, or as a ppt for you to make any changes or add any extra task sheets to keep our students learning during this time.

This booklet covers the Ecology topic at KS4, but maybe suitable for some KS3. It contains 15 pages where on each page is a keyword and definition, an image, example and some simple questions and a simple extension question.
It also contains a Power Point which circles key points to show the students where to look in their booklets and help them understand the ideas and processes.
Also included are two interactive activities, one on population changes in an ecosystem and one on land use and effects on food production.
These activities are simple, but challenge the student to give reasons for their choices.
This booklet also has project activities on each page for students to work on home at.

This is a Blooms taxonomy based around questions asked in Science lessons. It is aimed at KS3 and KS4. It has examples based on the States of Matter topic covering the hierarchy with examples of each for students to aim for. It can be used by students when answering questions or doing analysis.
It can be used as a place mat during lessons or enlarged for classroom display or included in Power points when doing a question in that style.
The questions are 9-1 graded exam style questions. This bundle contains questions from ALL the required practicals for AQA. Each required practical contains a 2 page questions sheet and matching answer sheet for students. There is a matching ppt go through the answers with students.
