This booklet supports a series of lesson and is designed for Entry Level/SEND students to allow them to access the key elements of science. If used in a mixed ability class, these booklets allow students to keep pace with the rest of the class whilst personalising the challenge and support they require.
The booklet is part of a series of booklets with a variety of tasks including matching keywords and definition, scaffolding, extended answers, research and a lot of practical work with matching results tables/graphs.

A very easy to use multiple choice quiz where students can show their answers on whiteboards, by holding up pre-made cards with A-D on them or write answers in their books.
This covers the C1 AQA Science-A unit. Other quizzes for the other topics are available on the TES too.
A great task that can be used as an assessment tool for a starter, mini-plenary or revision task.
This works best when students have pre-made cards to select answer, voting kits or white boards. Students can also complete as a quiz in the back of their books.
Covers: digestion, enzymes, small intestine, organs
Additional Biology AQA - Cells Keyword and definition bingo.
This contains a set of questions and a pack of pre-made cards. This can be used as a starter, plenary or revision activity.
This covers all of the key concepts in the unit. Other bingo games are available for the other units too.
Students compete to get the lowest score. This can either be played as a full class or the cards can be printed out and students compete against each other in small groups.
PowerPoints to accompany DNA extraction and making Bath Bombs.
Activities and other memorable and engaging investigations can be found in booklet available. Search for scuttscience Memorable and Engaging Practicals.

Additional Biology AQA - Genetics Keyword and definition bingo.
Activity words as a starter, plenary or revision activity.
Includes pre-made questions and cards for students.
A set of three planning cards that support students through the necessary steps to complete a successful investigation.
Steps include:
- Forming a hypothesis
- Research

A full set of flash cards to aid revision. Question on one slide and then key responses on the following slide. These can be printed or saved on a phone to use.
All of the key topics are covered on the flash cards, including diffusion, active transport, osmosis, leaves, stomata, breathing, respiration, gaseous exchange, heart, blood, transport, blood vessels, vein, artery, capillary, homoeostasis, temperature regulation, kidneys, dialysis, glucose regulation, population, greenhouse effect, deforestation, biofuels, food production, sustainability and more.
The idea works that students should know the core building blocks around the edge of the page. The task therefore is to summarise these key points in the middle, only focusing on the things they have forgotten:
The final task is to get this all on to a postcard - their revision notes to take away! This makes it all manageable for the student.
Topics covered:
Cells, enzymes, specialised cell, digestion, genes, mitosis, meiosis, chromosomes, bile, pancreas, villi,
