I developed this resource for a mid-range GCSE group who have to be able to write balanced half equations for binary salts. It is for use at the end of a lesson which includes video clips, discussion and demonstrations. We discuss page 1 and they are on their own for page 2. Forgive the comic sans! Please let me know if you find this useful. Thanks for looking.

A4 Association map (similar to concept map) using keywords from OCR Biology Student book glossary. Shows a high level view of enzymes, particularly with respect to substrate interaction. More general information about association, and other visual maps, can be found on the website.

A concept map of parts of a flower and the part they play in reproduction. Further information about the association mapping process used to develop it can be found on the website. Keywords: flower parts; plant reproduction; concept map, mind map, association map

A set of differentiated sheets with slightly different annotations developed to support an SEN group to understand how to use a protractor to measure angles of incidence and reflection in a practical situation. I photocopied the sheets and students used them in place of a blank sheet of paper.

This diagram was developed with a student who wanted to understand how the ions become atoms again during electrolysis. The 'push' and 'pull' comments are designed to enforce the idea that the process will not occur without an energy input. Comments would be appreciated.

Continuous loop mixing the PLT Teamwork criteria with humorous illustrations. For use as a through the door activity for a lesson that will inolve teamwork to remind students of the principles and gets them focussed. Could also be used as a starter or plenary with the looping feature disabled.

An A4 revision aid showing keywords and their relationships, for carbohydrates in a mind map/concept map format. Words are taken from the OCR text book Glossary. Further information about the association modelling process used can be found on the website. Comments and suggestions welcomed. Thanks for looking!

Learn the difference between cells and batteries, by holding up mini whiteboards ('cell' on one side, 'battery' on other) in response to images. Middle slide teaches the difference. Opportunity to try again. Could be used prior to potato battery experiment. Key words: Cell, battery, circuit symbol, potato battery,

Flowchart showing the various feedback loops during female fertility. Option to add information about hormonal control. Gives context to menstrual cycle.

An A4 revision aid showing keywords and their relationships for lipids in a mind map/concept map format. Words are taken from the Glossary of the OCR AS Biology textbook. Further information about the association modelling process used can be found on the website. Comments and suggestions welcomed. Thanks for looking!

An A4 revision aid showing keywords and their relationships for nucleic acids in a mind map/concept map format. Words are taken from the OCR text book Glossary. Further information about the association modelling process used can be found on the website. Comments and suggestions welcomed. Thanks for looking!

Feedback sheet for use by teacher or for self/peer assessment. I use this with marker pens. www in points coloured in green. ebi points coloured in pink. Following feedback Students have to mark the parts of their graph which are correct in green and modify where possible the ebi points. Could also be used prior to drawing a graph to remind students of requirements. Currently suitable for scatter graphs but could be modified easily for other types of graph.

A concept/association map showing the requirements for thermal energy transfer (conduction, convection and radiaton) to occur. Of use when planning how to teach the topic, or to help students consider energy gradients and pathways for exam type scenarios (eg double glazed window, vacuum flask). Web site added as a guide to the mapping method. Thanks for looking, comments welcomed.

An A4 revision aid showing keywords and their relationships for heating and cooling in a mind map/concept map format. Words are taken from the Go Science Book Glossary. Further information about the association modelling process used can be found on the website. Comments and suggestions welcomed. Thanks for looking! Keywords: heating, cooling concept map, mind map

This resource shows keywords organised into a concept map which is colour coded in three different ways. This might serve as a revision resource for students, or for staff when planning a course. Further information about the association mapping process used to develop it can be found on the website. Comments and ideas welcomed. Thanks for looking! Keywords: concept map, mind map, light, sound

A cut and stick activity suitable as a starter or homework. Students have to arrange structures from largest to smallest and also select examples at a number of levels. Further information on the association mapping process used to develop it can be found on the website. Ideas and comments welcomed. Thanks for looking! Keywords: Universe, galaxy, solar system, star, planet, satellite

This activity can be used with the Nervous Control Powerpoint Presentation or as a stand alone activity. Students draw round a 5-pointed star using the reflection in a mirror. They will find that they speed up over the course of six stars and develop strategies for coping with difficult turns. Some students find the activity more difficult than others and they can discuss why this might be (eg visual vs kinesthetic learners)

This is a concept map of the ideas around selecting variables. Gives an overview so that students can link the different terms together and remember what they mean. Suitable for all areas of science at KS3 and KS4. Further information about the association modelling process used can be found on the website. Comments and suggestions welcomed. Thanks for looking! Key words: concept map; mind map; science investigations; variables

I hope you will find these posters useful as part of a class display or as a set for reminders when practicing particular aspects of PLTS. Please let me know how you intend to use them. I have found them useful for teaching many different elements of the Science curriculum at KS3 and KS4 and for linking into the whole school policy in this area. PLTS; Biology; Chemistry; Physics; Practical Skills; Group Work

Grouped keywords from the glossary of the OCR AS Level Student book. Areas include chemical reactions, bonding, forces, and solutions. Provides a useful reference and revision sheet in concept/mind map format. Information about association mapping process available at the accompanying website. Comments and ideas welcomed!
