I found this document after a long search on the internet. It dates back to early 2000 and has the complete breakdown of topics, learning objectives, outcomes, possible activities and teaching notes. Published by the QCA.

Approximately 30 word searches in total covering the topics of solutions, heating, classification, variation, acids and alkalis, cells and safety.

This is the National Strategies Framework document for Science published under Labour Govt. Very useful for KS3 planning.

A very good revision or consolidation activity, suitable for level 1 - 5 students. This can be used as a pair or an independent activity. This is a very engaging activity, usually lasting up to 30 minutes. Ideally the end product should be peer assessed. Highly suited to SOLO taxonomy. Some ideas on how to use the resource: 1. Students work in groups of 2 and make as many sentences as they can using the words in the grid. The scores are then totalled for each sentence. For example: “ Photosynthesis produces oxygen and glucose” each of these words carries a 5 point score, totalling 15 points for that sentence. 2. Students are given a set of dice, student A roles and for example, should they role a 6 and 3 those are the co-ordinates for word 1. Student B then roles a set of co-ordinates and together they need to formulate a sentence to show how these words are linked. 3. Students are placed in groups of 2. Student A makes a simple sentence using only 2 of the grid words, for example: photosynthesis produces oxygen. Student B then has to add a third word to the sentence: photosynthesis produces oxygen and glucose. Student A then tries to add another word and so on until one is unable to complete the sentence, the total point score for that sentence will then go to the last student to add a word.

Although written for Go Science they are pretty generic and easily modified.

Objective: Understand the differences and similarities between specialised cells. Understand the adaptations of specialised cells. Understand how to build a content rich paragraph. The fact builder is suitable for higher ability KS3 and KS4 students. Used in conjunction with textbook or other reference material it forces students to clarify their thinking before writing, as well as encouraging their interaction with text. There are 5 fact builder worksheets, all similar to the one displayed, including: - red blood cells, sperm cells, root hair cells, leaf cells and muscle cells I have included the Power Point file and the pdf should you wish to tailor them to your students. Instructions: Students use their text books to find out about the adaptations, design and function of the cell in question. Students choose 5 of the most important keywords and write it in the space provided Finally students answer the question incorporating the keywords they have identified.

Based on the AQA key words produced by them, this is designed to get students to interact with the words and definitions. Suitable for C grade and above or in mixed ability groups. Activity should take about 20 minutes.

A crossword that focuses on some of the biology terms encountered at KS3. Answers included. To save on this resource buy it as part of a bundle for £2.50 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/new-2018-biology-cells-and-introduction-bundle-11359079

A range of resource to use with foundation groups. Focused on the photosynthesis aspect of Bioenergetics, it is particularly useful to go over the key concepts of the topic. This works well in groups for the card sort activity, or as an independent learning task when using the question activity. It is also a good revision resource with over 20 flash cards. Answers are provided.

This resource is most suited to KS3 biologist or as a KS4 lesson for struggling scientists. The presentation has all of the information necessary for students, however a 2 page student text is available with all of the information on (and some extra for those you want to stretch) There are a range of activities to choose from depending on your groups. These include: - A set of notes in dyslexic font and comic sans. - A ready-to-complete graphic organiser to help students describe and give examples of levels of organisations (text books or the notes above are suitable aids). - A multiple choice question bank (11 questions) and answer sheet. - A cloze word search for your struggling scientists with an answer sheet. I have included a photograph of some of the resources.

Designed to put the ideas in a clear and concise manner for those who struggle with literacy or science. The reading age of this text is around 11 years.

A short card matching activity for the parts of the eye and their functions. Answers included

A differentiated graph analysis activity suitable for all achievement levels.

Objective: Understand the process of diffusion within the cell and the factors that affect the speed of diffusion. The activity draws on ideas of SOLO taxonomy hexagons, Tony Ryan's Thinkers' Keys and other strategies that focus on deeper thinking and conceptual links. The resource is made up of a double sided Trifold leaflet with some activities more challenging than others. I have included each page as a separate file so that it can be previewed more thoroughly for inspection before purchase.

Ideal activity for all abilities as feedback tasks, revision or homework. Students are given a category (route) that the teacher feels they need the most work on. Students use the tube map and the station brochure, to guide them through the stations and present them with the relevant questions. Differentiate by giving lower achievers a set of cue cards (included) or allow some revision using the revision cards (included) beforehand. Higher achievers can follow the challenge route. This resource includes: - Tube map - Revision Cards - Cue cards - Brochure of stations with questions - Answers

Multiple choice mini assessment consisting of 18 questions. The answers have been designed to cover any misconceptions. Can be used as is, or used in conjunction with the free "quick key" app, which allow instant feedback and data analysis.

Included are Learning Grids for KS3 Forces, Classification, Energy, Compounds Elements and Mixtures and Light This activity is designed to force deeper thinking at all levels, forcing students of all abilities to make links between concepts they have encountered over the course of the topic. This is a highly engaging activity for all which draws on both literacy and content. Each word has a point value ascribed to it, depending on level of difficulty. Students then construct sentences linking as many of the words as they can in a single sentence. They tally up their word score and then move on to producing another sentence. etc. Instructions on how to use the activity with a set of dice is also included. Always ensure that students have access to glossaries or text books so that they can challenge themselves to find the meaning of new terminology or concepts. This is best carried out in pairs, where students can discuss and share ideas.

This resource contains a wide variety of worksheets and activities for the Blood topic. Resources include: A simple SEN organiser Word link to consolidate and deepen learning Venn Diagram to compare and contrast concepts Picture It task for the more visual learner 2 x mind mapping tasks 2 x worksheets Card Sort and categorising activity Spot the mistake literacy and factual recall activity There really is something for everyone!
