Second book in series designed to support and inspire new and existing science teachers.
This book contains 50 ways, old and new, of capturing students and providing them with a memorable experience of science.
These books supports the teaching of various topics/units including:
Speed, velocity, acceleration, forces, energy transformations, atomic structure, ionic bonding, covalent bonding, energy resources, states of matter, magnets, terminal velocity, volume, elements, periodic table, genetic, diseases, floating and sinking, pressure, chemical reactions, enzymes, cell division, combustion, momentum, smoking and much more….
Some of the activities include:
Coloured exploding balloons, floating cans, student lift, spinning grapes, accelerometer, hand warmers, making DNA, spreading diseases, crumple zones, bed of nails, speed of kicking, solar ovens, walking on custard
Lesson materials and lesson plan with all key components.
Also available as a full Scheme of Work with all lesson resources including starters, main activity and plenary.
Biology and Chemistry Schemes of Work also available for the new combined science.

Core Physics Prediction Exam Paper - HIGHER - 2016
AQA Prediction papers based on previous examination questions.
There are 50 mark per paper (1 hour).
Question based on past papers but re-written for the purpose of the exam.
They are designed to get students to revise the key topics that are more likely to appear in the 2016 exam.
Paper come with mark scheme and so can be set as a class task, homework or revision task.
Foundation tier also available.
Prediction paper for additional chemistry based on previous examinations.
Contains new questions and mark scheme.
Great as a revision tool, homework task or in class assessment.
This task is designed for students to work backwards and reduce their notes for revision. Around the outside of the page are the key facts and information that are needed for the topic. Students need to condense these and/or find out more about these and make notes in the white space. Finally students then need to highlight the keywords and put then in the box in the centre.
The format is designed to convince students that they do not need to make pages and pages of notes and instead can put all their notes on the back of a post card.
This task is great followed up by a loop card activity to test knowledge or apply straight to some exam questions.

This task is great followed up by a loop card activity to test knowledge or apply straight to some exam questions.
The idea works that students should know the foundation building blocks around the edge of the page.
The task therefore is to work inwards and begin 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.
This is one topic only and the full unit can be downloaded as a complete file.
The loop cards can be used as tool for assessment of prior learning, progress and revision. Students need to match the question on one card with the answer on another card, like dominoes.
The answer sheet is given at the end of the document.
This is good to do a pace and challenge activity.
Great plenary, starter or revision activity.
A student is given a card and has to describe the word without using any of the three words given or the actual word.
Students can then make their own versions too as great revision too.

Articulate game. Can be used as a starter, plenary or challenge/quiz game.
The student selects a card about the topic studied and has to describe the words using words, picture/diagrams or actions. More points are awarded for not using words or diagrams!!
Great for competition! A fun an interesting game that really engages the students!
Remember to have some rewards for the best action and winner!

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: nuclear fusion, fission, atomic structure, alpha, beta, gamma, stars, black holes, supernova
A set of 5 different games of thoughts and crosses that can be used as a starter, plenary and/or revision task.
This works best when students work in pairs. The task is that the students have to compete to get three in a row. Which ever way they decide to try and get three in a row the questions include a range of difficulty - there is no easy pathway!
These sheets cover all of the main areas from the additional science unit. There are versions available for Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
Additional Physics Bingo with cards that cover the electricity unit.
Includes pre-made bingo cards that can be given to students and pre-made question slides.
Works best when rewards are offered for lines and full houses. Can be used as starter, plenary or revision task. Also great for AFL.
