I'm 29, I'm currently teaching Chemistry at Verdala International School. I've been teaching for 8 years and I have a huge passion for science. I will provide learning resources for age ranges 11-18 Science, Chemistry , Biology, Physics and Environmental Systems and Societies.

I created this resource for a year 8 science week during my NQT as a science teacher. I got really good feedback from students, staff and parents about my CSI week.
The lessons were 40 minutes long in our school and this was with a low ability class. You could extend the first lesson by watching another youtube CSI:Miami video and real CSI video and talk about how its different in tv shows and real life. OR You could talk about the other tasks for the week as they can take a little longer to introduce.
Lesson 1: An introduction to crime scene investigation
Lesson 2: Trace evidence (its a very simple lesson with microscopes, you could pair it with lesson 1). Practical investigation included - Microscopes, glass slides, hair samples (animal and human), fibre samples.
Lesson 3: Blood spatter -> Practical investigation included - Equipment in pwp
Lesson 4: Drug analysis -> Practical investigation included - Droppers, UI, HCl, dimple tiles, beakers with Sodium bicarb, cornflour, citric acid and sugar.
Please let me know of any errors or mistakes as I want to learn!
I hope this made it easier for someone and helped with getting students interested in forensic science!
This lesson includes:
Starter activity
Lesson objectives
Crime scene science and paper chromatography
History link
Experiment for paper chromatography
Activities and Questioning.
Please let me know what you think. My powerpoints might seem plain by the looks of the first page but thats the way I like them! No silly and cringey things :)
This lesson includes:
Starter activity with answers
Lesson outcomes
Youtube video (citation in notes)
Activities
Experiments which involve flame tests, testing for cations, anions and gases
Exam style questions to finish
Please tell me what you think :) I really want to see some good reviews
Here is some mixed revision on Paper 1 Chemistry (C1)
Let me know if there are any errors and leave a review please.
I really want to learn and provide good resources.
This was the first resource that I have made to sell on tes. Please let me know if something is wrong as its a good way for me to learn.
This was used for a chemistry grade 9 lesson. Can also be used for year 7 and year 9 chemistry.
Includes lesson objectives (taken from Kognity- Cambridge iGCSE Co-ordinated Sciences) and an optional Youtube video. However, the tasks are my own, including diagrams.
It includes introduction, knowledge quiz, starter, main task (differentiated for high ability and low ability), extension and exit quiz.
If there are any problems please let me know!
More to come for the topic :)
This was made by me at Verdala International School Malta!
This is part of the iGCSE curriculum for chemistry but can be adapted for GCSE.

More questions from practical
Let me know what you think :)
This is the next lesson after changes of state.
Includes starter, lesson objectives, activities such as draw an atom, answers, research activity which will involve laptops but if not there are slides that will help guide students without the use of the internet.
Please let me know what you think :)
Powerpoint includes:
Start of topic progress quiz.
Lesson outcomes
Starter- prefixes
Think-pair-share
Link to YT video
