Suitable for topic 9A - Science or Fiction. Includes powerpoints for all lessons and worksheets as necessary. Sorry about the sheer amount of David Beckham pictures...it's a running joke with my year 9s how much I love him.

Adapted from my cheek cell powerpoint.A recap of what differences there are between plant and animal cells and then a recap of how to use microscopes correctly. Worksheet for very low ability pupils for them to draw what they can see and calculate the magnification.

Powerpoint with full instructions for cheek cell practical on it with a starter and plenary. This was for very low ability yr 8 so it would need building upon for higher abilities.

Used with MA yr 8. Went through slides with pupils and asked them to tell me what happens during puberty, they then spent the main part of the lesson making leaflets to give to younger pupils about puberty. We did a Q&A circle time thing at the end that isn't featured on here but it&'s quite nice to do.

These are some of the starters I regularly use with my classes, they’re designed basically to get the pupils thinking. I’ve also included examples that you can copy and paste out into your own powerpoint, and obviously edit them to suit your own classes needs. Some of them are daft to get them engaged (like pictures of footballers - cue Two of them play for a rubbish team!) that lulls them into a false sense of enjoyment before you whip out the questions on rocks!

Cards for pupils to pick up randomly and complete as an extension exercise. I have them laminated on coloured card and if a pupil finishes I tell them to choose one and answer it underneath their work. Most of the extension activities are AfL as well and allow students to reflect upon their learning.

I gave these resources to my students to help them prep for their mock exams. There are quick recall questions that cover most of the specification for Edexcel 9-1 science. Students used these to help write flash cards, or to quiz each other. I will be completing the P2 one and uploading it later in the year.

Revision mats for topics 1-4 of GCSE Chemistry Edexcel. They contain most of the content as matched to the specification. Topic 1 - key concepts in chemistry Topic 2 - States of matter and mixtures Topic 3 - chemical changes Topic 4 - obtaining and using metals. Enjoy!

A resource designed for British Science Week 2017 but would be applicable to other situations. A powerpoint presentation that outlines different #ActualLivingScientists from twitter and relates to (hopefully inspiring) careers that students may be interested in. We stuck these up around school and had the accompanying sheet as a competition but you could just use the powerpoint in an assembly. Please review if you purchase it.

A series of lessons delivered in our PSHE curriculum time. Lots of opportunities for discussion and reflection, as well as discussing the students' own viewpoints and what they have heard and understood from the news. Lessons include: What is terrorism? The conflict in Gaza Conflict in Northern Ireland 9/11 ISIS Tolerance/Extremism Bits taken from elsewhere on here.

A full series of lessons for the CP6 Radiation topic. All lessons include activities for students to do. Atomic Structure Radiation (2 lessons for this as I went back over it). Nuclear equations - worksheet was free from another user. Half life (I used foam dice to model decay) Models of the atom Dangers of radiation I taught this over two weeks. Images taken from Google images. Happy to credit the photographer if needed.

Used with middle ability year 10 class as a tutorial about the nervous system. Includes information on CNS and PNS, voluntary and involuntary responses, the reflex arc and neurons. We have a lot to get through in a very short space of time so it is quite a lot within a single lesson but could easily be split up.

Powerpoint used with middle ability year 10 on homeostasis. Includes information on temperature control (main focus) and a small amount of information on regulating urea and carbon dioxide. Includes a worksheet I used alongside it - it is adapted from another I found on here.

Check list type level ladder for GCSE maths. All in tables for pupils to work through and tick off as they go along, I have included a column for what they can do, and revision (twice). Basic idea from another user but made it into something pupils can have to keep.

Who eats who (lesson 3) on food webs for LA Y8 pupils. Pupils recap food webs by creating their own from images, with extension for higher ability pupils. Pupils discuss environmental factors in regards to if there were changes in the organisms and how this would affect food web. Plot a graph on pop. of rabbits and answer questions relating to it with different levelled questions.

Made for my Year 10 BTEC class for Learning Aim D. They are very low ability so a lot of it comes from the KS3 course. This covers: Compounds, elements and mixtures, reactions of metals with acids to form salts and hydrogen and word and symbol equation. Starter activity to recap hazard symbols as required by the BTEC course.

Use these for assessment with pupils as a self assessment summary. I have loads printed out and give them out when needed. I encourage them to think of creative hashtags to use to summarise their knowledge. The kids love it because it's relevant to them and they seem to LOVE twitter! I also have included the powerpoint page that I used with them when I first started to model it for them. Just change the name and information.

Powerpoint I used with LA yr 8 on acid rain at the end of the Earth and Atmosphere task. It is very basic but covers the main science behind it. There are 3 worksheets in the middle differentiated for literacy ability that I gave to certain students in different ability groups. There is a literacy task at the end (my pupils' literacy levels are very low) for them to write a short letter using the knowledge they have learned.

A full lesson used with MA year 7 on the topic of Rivers. It includes a starter activitiy to recap key terms, and main task and video link to look at what features the upper, middle and lower course features have. Also has a table resource for them to use.

I used this with my year 7s by sharing the success criteria in the lesson where we were writing the conclusions and then marked using the DIRT codes. Pupils then used this to write their comments and complete an activity intended to improve their conclusion writing in future. I now use this every single lesson where we write conclusions. I have also used it with great success for KS3 and KS4.

These resources cover: Theoretical perspectives of the family, evaluating the functionalist perspective, pre industrial and post industrial families, new right and social policy. Also includes some exam practice. Textbooks are Ken Browne and Steve Chapman. Please review if you use.
