Ppt that goes through the differences between medicines and antibiotics and the effect both have on the pathogen causing the illness. We inoculated some agar plates at the end of the lesson to practise the culture of bacteria and aseptic techniques.

I created this series of 6 different mysteries to solve using DNA fingerprints for use in cross curricular day - could be used for forensic style activities

This is a group of resources that contains all you need to run a World Science Day/Week in your school. Every year I put on a week devoted to Science at my Prep School. I have competitions for each Year group (Yr 1 - 8) as well as Science Assembly where I do demos etc. These are my resources from this year when I choose the theme of Our Amazing Solar System to celebrate Tim Peake being on the International Space Station. TES Cosmic Classroom cards were laminated and stuck around the school for the Science Quiz treasure hunt as well as the Astronomy quotes (thank you to TES contributer). Teachers were encouraged to do a Pop Rocket lesson during the week (see attached sheet) and use the video link below to use as starters for lessons that week (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-c1dffc35-fe53-492d-a4bf-752a22bd1ebc).

PPt used with mixed Yr 7 group for double lesson introducing the different parts of a scientific investigation - includes assessment opportunities and simple investigation at end to check their understanding

PowerPoint and starter for a KS3 Biology lesson on adaption and food chains. This was used for a double lesson (2hrs) for Yr 7's - introduces idea of adaptation and recaps food chains from KS2. Activities included. Worksheet used with low ability students as a starter

This was used as an introductory lesson to 'Microbes and Disease'. Has links to videos and clips to liven it up - I got students to draw a picture for each time period on the comic strip to show what people thought about transmission of diseases - they loved it - very fun lesson

Ppt describes role of diffusion in photosynthesis to allow Carbon dioxide to move into the leaf through the stoma. Includes a demo of diffusion using perfume sprayed into one corner of lab and class practical to observe stoma under microscope using nail varnish. Also included differentiated worksheet on diffusion.

All the resources etc you need to run a G&T CSI Day - I've taken out the photos of staff that I used as suspects so you&'ll need to add your own. Re Evidence - i dipped a shoe into hot chocolate (!) and then pushed it down onto sticky backed plastic to make a shoe print that was &';obtained' from the crime scene, fibres were pulled from several scarfs and stuck onto microscope slides

This is a group of resources that contains all you need to run a World Science Day/Week in your school. Every year I put on a week devoted to Science at my Prep School. I have competitions for each Year group (Yr 1 - 8) as well as Science Assembly where I do demos etc. These are my resources from last year when I choose the theme of Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) to get children involved in the consultation process and get their families to vote. I also ran a teacher competition this year - to learn the whole Periodic Table of Elements!

This lesson is taught in a series of lessons on different chemical reactions, following on from a lesson that went through why some metals corrode, what is needed for corrosion/rusting to occur and how to prevent corrosion. This was taught to a top set Yr 8 set who are set into two animal groups (squid = top, crab = bottom). Lesson is differentiated for the two groups to allow individual work for the top group and paired work for the bottom half - worksheet attached to enable bottom group to achieve LO. We spend one lesson planning this and then set up the expt during next lesson and leave it to run over half term to maximize time for rusting. In my school I use this lesson to assess one strand of scientific investigative skills that count towards our School's Baccalaureate.

Powerpoint that leads you through the importance of gene banks. Links to the Seed Bank set up by the Norwegian Government up in Arctic circle - complete with question sheet for students to fill in as they listen. Also video link to how Kew Gardens are using gene banks to protect plant biodiversity

A ppt and cardsort to teach the adaptations of different groups of extremophiles and the environments they live in

A4 sheet covering main points of Digestion, Breathing and Respiration - used as revision tool before unit test. I give it out to students as starter - they then complete as much as they can from their own revision before we go through answers as class using attached ppt - I find this format leads to a very productive revision lesson

This is a group of resources that contains all you need to run a World Science Day/Week in your school. Every year I put on a week devoted to Science at my Prep School. I have competitions for each Year group (Yr 1 - 8) as well as Science Assembly where I do demos etc. For Yr 3/4 Competition I laminated the animal fact cards and hid them around the school so they had to search to find them. For the Seniors (Yr 5 - 8) I hid the fact cards (that I found on TES - thanks!) around the school for them to find.

Useful for end of KS3 exams - I print out the student version of the ppt with four slides per page - they then fill in the gaps as we go through ppt in class. They then can stick two sheets back to back on a piece of card and cut them out to make 4 double sided revision cards. My students love this way of revising.

A ppt that introduces the concept of the periodic table and talks through some of the patterns shown by the elements. Activities included - some taken from other contributors - thank you! Blank periodic table included which I got students to colour in to reinforce patterns of metals, non-metals and metalloids.

Resource collect to help students create a recycling campaign to encourage staff and students to be responsible with the resources they use. This was run as a 2hr activity for a Yr 7 science lesson to encourage group work and creative thinking. It worked extremely well with some excellent presentations taking place at the end of the second lesson. The planning sheet was blown up to A3. Starter activity borrowed from another TES resource - thank you!

Excellent group activity to use after teaching about different forms of renewable energy. The original resources are from Practical Action website (thank you). I used this with 2 different Yr 7 classes (high and low ability) and both loved it and very engaged. How to run activity: Each group needs I community card, a set of renewable energy cards, a map and a worksheet. They then need to decide which renewable energy would be suitable for each of their villages. I get groups to present their ideas to rest of class and we then peer assess each others choices.

Covers how sex is inherited, expected ratios of females to males in populations and why this is not seen in world population. Temperature dependent sex determination in animals.

My students always seen to struggle to write a good scientific conclusion so I collaborated with my colleagues in the English Dept to come up with a way to help them. We used the PEE paragraph as a starting point and produced these posters to help the students. I then used it with a practical we were doing at that time (which shaped tea bag makes the strongest tea) to demonstrate a good conclusion.
