I was working in a local PRU teaching EDEXCEL science to a group of pupils who were totally NOT interested in the learning process but were keen to get a grade. So I bought them each the revision guide published by Pearson - the green one for foundation as this was the level they were working on. I then created this workbook. They really liked it and enjoyed working through the booklet and filling in all the answers from the guide. The process of simply reading and filling in the answers helped every pupil in that group to get a C grade. I think this booklet will be useful for homework, revision and days when cover is needed for a class. Please let me know what you think of it as I have more and need feedback before I make them available.

This resource of 18 worksheets will help a child to consolidate knowledge of the 2x table in a variety of imaginative ways that can be used for homework or classwork. There is also a discussion on ways to get children to learn these tables off by heart so that they are clearly imprinted in the long term memory for future use. This is the first of the set of tables and 3 - 12x will appear soon in a similar format.

Lesson 1 and 2 to introduce the concept of an extreme environment which includes a lesson plan (SOW), 2 PowerPoint slideshows to underpin the complementary worksheets for the pupils to consolidate and record their learning. This worked very well with Year 10 cohort and they enjoyed the activities very much (all boys). Look out for all the other lessons and SOW for the OCR specification.

I wrote this workbook specifically for a horse-mad group of youngsters in a PRU in Shropshire. They loved it and worked ever so hard through it and were fully engaged in the work little realising that they were doing their hated English all the while! I have also used it in a PRU in Essex and it was really well received by girls of the traveller community. They said that it was work that was helpful for their future! I based the learning objectives on those I found for equine studies at the University of Aberystwyth - somewhat simplified but nevertheless correct. Module objectives: • The module will consider the anatomy of equids, with the emphasis being placed on the horse. • This will involve looking at the different organs and structures, their relative positions and their functions. • comparisons with the anatomy of other herbivores will be made, thereby enhancing the understanding of the anatomy of animals in general. Module Content 1. Terminology used in anatomy 2. Evolution of equids pages 3. Bones, Skeletons and Teeth Pages 4. Joints and Ligaments 5. Muscles 6. Digestive tract 7. Respiratory Tract 8. Urogenital System and Reproduction 9. Nervous system 10. Sense Organs and Common Integument 11. Heart and Circulation

This cross curricular theme of 36 pages on Horses and War horses was designed for Keystage 3 pupils in a PRU in Essex.

Topics covered: GRAMMAR, SPELLING, HISTORY, CREATIVE WRITING, and VOCABULARY BUILDING.
