A harder and easier worksheet that starts with a description of the Doppler Effect and then links this to Redshift and the Big Bang. I use it with the Boardworks Doppler Effect ppt and the 'spinning buzzer&' demo (put a buzzer on a string and swing it round your head) For BTEC P10 but could also do GCSE.

Story boards to show how pollutants are made. Covers carbon monoxide, particulates, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur dioxide, as required by OCR 21st Cen. Also, a graphic organiser to record info. I used this as a numbered heads together - fill in yours with the story board then share with your 'home&' group of four to complete the table. Make harder by removing texts from boards and/or table.

</br>To practice simple recall questions and build confidence. </br> Sixteen 1 or 2 mark questions are on one side of each card, a ‘hint’ for strugglers on the back. </br> Place questions around the room. Students start at any question, have one minute to answer,10 seconds to move to the next one, repeated 15 times. </br> Just like exercise circuit training. </br> Answers on to the sheet. If they use the hint add an H to their answer box. Peer mark and identify ONE area they need to work on.

Animated step through of how resistance spreads. For foundation students so no mention of genetic mutations but could easily be included.

A short lesson on the properties of metals for KS3 (used for high ability Y7). I taught this as an interview lesson - rated Outstanding and offered the job :). Includes some literacy (what are properties?), a 'crowd sourcing' activity where each student has the definition to a different property and 'Find Someone Who' where they need to move around to match the properties of metals with their uses. Could be altered to include ductile and other props.

A cut-and-stick (or draw lines to match) worksheet to reinforce the 'recipe book' model for the genome. Adapted from Making Proteins activity found here: http://www.genesareus.org/keystage3/connorsstory?agegroup=13-14+year+olds

An introduction to Mendelian genetics using Simpsons examples. </br> UPDATE: Errors fixed. Thanks for letting me know. </br> Our SoW uses punnet 'diamonds' so you may need to adjust this. </br> Known issue is that some examples use similar letter forms (i.e. Ss not Ee). Comments on relevant characteristics with diverse letter forms very welcome.

Lesson plan for KS3 (planned for lower ability Y9). Contains Starter: Video about bad behaviour genes Main 1: Decision line of completely genetic to completely environmental for 12 different human traits Main 2: Twin studies video and fill-in-the blank Plenary: Twin studies data.

A self-contained worksheet on the effects of alcohol, written for a cover lesson.

A display about how to draw appropriate line graphs. Also included is my template graph paper to make a big model graph to go with it. You need to hand plot the points on the demo graphs.

An A3 poster for students to revise the Periodic table, including - Periodicity - Groups in the Periodic Table - Group 1 metals - electron arrangement and reactions with water and oxygen - Noble gases - structure and uses - Mass number and atomic number Students fill in the blanks and draw electron arrangements. The ppt has the words for the blanks.

Designed to cover OCR C21 at D-B grades, but also useful for AQA. Lasted one double lesson with my students. Includes diet coke vs caffiene free for placebo effects. Weblink takes you to a card sort of the steps in drug discovery.

An animated step-by-step guide to how to draw a scaled Sankey diagram.

Prepared for a KS4 Biology cover lesson on using hormones to regulate fertility. A fact-sheet and questions about the pill, followed by an extension task making decisions about the best contraception for different people.

Worksheet for how to 'decode' chemical formula and then a bit on naming chemicals using the mono, di and tri prefixes.

Made for my very bottom Y9 set. I printed the slides onto a single A4 handout and got them to add notes as we talked through it.

Not 100% perfect but pretty much there - an editable chatterbox template. </br>I have set mine up with questions for KS4 Health and Disease (add three factors, find the answers to the 8 questions and then test each other), but you can edit the textboxes to include anything you want.

An hands-on activity for students to learn about genetic dominance and random sorting. </br> Students drop cards to deterine the genetic make up of a new marsh monster </br> They then build their monster out of marsh mallows </br<> Takes a lot of set up (I bagged up Monster kits fo each child) BUT it was the only thing this year that bottom set Year 9 have enjoyed. </br> An adapted Reebops for lower ability.

An activity to decide whether air resistance is useful or not and identify how air resistance can be increased or decreased. Used as a starter to refresh, could also work as HW or plenary.

Eight 'real life' photos and eight (more or less) free body diagrams. Match the photo with the diagram.

Four info cards about statins. I used these for a numbered heads together followed by a vote on whether we should prescribe more, less or te same number of statins. For AQA Bio1. Nothing ground breaking but it might save some time!
