This is a full set of workbooks and PowerPoints for the Physiology Of Human Body Systems unit of the BTEC National in Applied Science. The PowerPoints are made to match up with the workbooks, making achieving a Pass for your students as easy as possible for you and them. You’ll also find a set of lab protocols for the food tests that are needed for P6.
A workbook covering the Physics section of Unit 1 of the BTEC National in Applied Science. It includes definitions, exam questions and various worksheet-style activities, including practicals, to help you and your students navigate this examined unit.
Presented here are the PowerPoints and workbook I put together to teach the Physics section of Unit 5 of the BTEC National Applied Science Extended Certificate. It includes notes, exam-style questions and suggested online activities (eg Kahoot, Seneca, Edpuzzle, Quizizz etc), all of which can be edited to your own specifications.
A worksheet about payback time and ways to save energy at home.
Ideal for KS3 sections about heating and cooling, GCSE Physics and BTEC L2, Unit 1. It can be used as a lead-in to calculating U-values and energy efficiency.
A Cloze procedure worksheet about terminal velocity, as part of a set of lessons about forces and motion. It's differentiated three ways and would be best suited for a plenary for either KS3 or KS4.
A set of worksheets that will help KS3 and KS4 students understand and be able to use independent, dependent and control variables in planning an investigation, as well as various other things in and around the planning area. The questions use examples based on characters from The Simpsons and an experiment testing Hooke's Law.
Formatted as a booklet, ready to be printed out and stapled, this study skills guide was put together to help anyone facing exams. These skills are the ones you need to learn for effective revision, so this guide is entirely cross-curricular and can be used for any subject.
This resource covers the Pass level and some of the Merit level tasks for the Pearson BTEC Level 1/2 Certificate in Applied Science Unit 4, Assignment A. The material is partially based on worksheets drawn from various KS3 and KS4 schemes that have been modified to fit.
The toughest task on any GCSE Science paper is the dreaded Six Mark Question. This presentation breaks down one of these fiendish beasts and gives you some tips and tricks to help your students get as many marks as humanly possible.
By which I mean six marks, obviously.
Target Audience: GCSE Science Teachers working at either KS4 or Level 2.
Welcome to the Gibbon’s Guides to Science!
As an experienced teacher of KS3, GCSE, A-Level and BTEC Levels 2 and 3, I’ve got a lot of resources I’ve developed over the years. This is one of them. It’s a worksheet to help your learners get the idea of how to write down what happens in a chemical reaction. It also, at the end, hints at the idea of balancing equations and conservation of matter (so that’s the gifted and talented kids sorted!).
Once completed, this can be a revision guide for Unit 5 Physics, covering Work, Efficiency, Ideal Gas Laws, Young’s Modulus, Hooke’s Law, Engine Cycles, etc. It includes definitions, statements from the syllabus and also suggested Seneca exercised (you’ll have to set them up yourself, though).
I’m not sponsored by Seneca, I just find it to be an extremely useful resource for both learning and assessment.
Target audience: KS3 students in Year 7, working on Unit 7a (Cells), Year 9 students revising for SATs and BTEC L2 students studying Biology units.
Learning Objective: Describe and explain how cells are specialized.
Instructions: Fill in the gaps in the Cloze procedure and draw diagrams where needed.
A step-by-step guide (with photos!) showing, taking your students through the method for drawing a results table that will ensure they get all the marks available for drawing the table. Not only that, but it will allow them to keep the results from their practical organised, reliable and repeatable.
Mostly designed for use with GCSE ISAs, but it can be used at any stage where a results table needs to be drawn.
Cells are the basic building blocks of life. They’re made up of cytoplasm, cell membranes, and a nucleus. Plant cells have a cell wall made of cellulose, chloroplasts and a big vacuole. That’s it, right? Right? Sorry, friends, but everything you know is wrong…
Join Carl, The Heavy Metal Science Teacher on a tour through what’s REALLY happening inside your cells.
Prepare to be amazed…
This pack contains a PowerPoint presentation, a video of myself presenting a version of the PowerPoint, the script of the video and a worksheet to go with the PowerPoint or video, depending on which one you want to use. The video can obviously be used as a revision exercise either at the end of the section or in the run-up to the exams.
Learning Objective: Describe and explain the structure and function of eukaryotic cells and their organelles.
Target audience: A-Level Biology, BTEC National in Applied Science Unit 1 (Level 3).
Another in the series of Gibbon's Guides, this time looking at analysing data from a practical. The resource pack (which is made up of a PowerPoint presentation and a worksheet that can be customised) is aimed at both Key Stages 3 and 4 and could easily be used as part of a preparation for ISA-style investigations.

As an experienced teacher of GCSE, A-Level and BTEC Levels 2 and 3, I’ve got a lot of resources I’ve developed over the years. This is one of them. It’s a workbook designed to contain all the information and work needed to get your students to the Pass level at BTEC Level 1/2 in Applied Science.
Since these worksheets only cover the Pass tasks, obviously the learners will have to do the Merit and Distinction work themselves, but this resource will help them get there more quickly. It’s also laid out in order of tasks, so it makes it easy for you to mark (which is more than half the battle).
