Lesson going in detail into preparing and analysing experiments Includes starter, hypothesis and experiment elements, vocabulary, diagrams, experiment writing, common mistakes with answers, and research for experiments. Can be used in year 9 or in GCSE, or even A level as revision.

Exam analysis and strategies for secondary science. In pdf and editable pptx. Focused for GCSE, always a good revision for Alevel. Includes tips on diagrams, timing, organisation, question identification, and exam organisation and method (4 slides).

Two complete lessons for integrating an exam review of your own. pdf and editable pptx. After an exam you can use either of these lessons, or both for different exams. Includes starter, self-assessment, assessment (needs markscheme), self-grading, survey, self-correction. and exam tips. Lesson 1 gives tips on multiple choice questions, lesson 2 gives tips on long multiple-point paragraph questions.

Review for any level in Science on using formulas and converting units. Make sure everyone in the lesson knows how to use formulas! Lots of students still getting mixed up with from converting units of time, to confusing metres cube or metres square, to using litre versus decimetre cube? Cross-curricular maths brush-up simple single lesson with exercises and answers, done exclusively for practical purposes in Science.

Presentation for your first lesson with a class group. Covering starter, teacher introduction, objectives, discipline setting example, list of basic rules, description of how to work, and final summary. Editable so you can adapt it to your own situation, but with lots of ideas to take into account! Neutral style format.

Icons for Behaviour for Learning: displays for the door, walls, warnings, rules... Over 50 symbols, intended for Secondary Science. As a plus includes suggested sanctions display (the one I use!).

List of 640 words (40 per topic) for Year 7 and Year 8 (8 topics in each year). I used this to ask my students to research and write down their meaning as the unit progressed, and at the end of the unit they would have this included in their notebooks. Word lists are targeted to include the central ideas and scientific vocabulary they will be acquiring in each unit.

Ever wanted to do a play but not done it because you teach Science? No problem! Here is a script I have used for a theatre play fully justified in a Science context! With minimal resources, short duration (about 20 minutes) and for a class set (around 25 people, plus minus a few if you tweak the script a little). Each character says only a few sentences avoiding complex language, there are 5 dialogue sequences (acts). Ideal for year 6 or 7 students, it can help with laboratory safety awareness both for actors and for spectators, and has a some annotations on how to improvise the scenario and attrezzo in a normal classroom. Since it can be fitted (preparation and tidying up included) into one single lesson, I went round the school making the play for other class groups and it was a great success! Also great fun!

These are four projects my students have used from year 7 to year 10 for five consecutive years. It helps them develop independent learning, makes them take pride in their work, gives opportunity for assessment of another style of careful slow-paced work, and when returned provides them something they can keep as a nice souvenir of something they made while learning in Science. They include detailed instructions and visual examples for students to follow. They are ordered in level from the first (year 7) to the last (year 10).

I use this with my students as a classroom display all year round, for all levels, to remind them what they must consider before, during and after an experiment / investigation aiming at high marks!

8 slides making an overview of hygiene and health issues, useful as an independent lesson for Science or Tutoring / Mentoring. It runs through aspects of hygiene, diet, exercise, stress management, social skills, sexuality, drug and self-medication awareness, organisational skills and critical thinking. Very rewarding stuff for students, and a good starting point for debates or in-depth investigations, strongly linked to their real world so very motivating. Applicable to any level in secondary (KS3, KS4, KS5).
