I currently teach IGCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Also A level Biology. The resources I produce for my lessons are carefully planned and I try to involve a lot of self-learning to allow students to develop these important skills needed for further education.

Students investigate Hooke´s Law with a simple practical. They use text books and their results to form their own conclusion as to what Hooke´s Law is.
I have used my own resources and a few slides from other Tes members (thank you!) to put together a PPT which recalls the equation for momentum and then looks at how to calculate force using the change of momentum and time.
There are also exam questions included for extra practice!
Acceleration PPT recaps over the speed and velocity covered in previous lesson. There are worksheets with questions on with varying ability of challenge.
Graphing speed introduces the idea of how different graphs can be used to calculate distance, speed and velocity.
I have used other people´s resources found online - Matrix car chase and calculation worksheets.
An overview of the practical students should perform. We find it difficult to do the experiment so it is a theoretical lesson. I have provided students with results and there is a practice exam question.
A worksheet that allows students to become familiar with the appearance of organelles using an electron microscope. Students can label the organelles and calculate magnification using the given information.
I use this as a formative assessment in lessons but it can be used for homework. It helps check understanding of the topic and can be used as a revision tool.
A peer assessment sheet is also included but can be used as a self assessment task.
A simple pdf worksheet where students describe how gram staining works. There are some basic diagrams to help scaffold their answers.
Answer sheet provided.
Looking for a different way for students to revise/consolidate their knowledge of a topic? Try a digital escape room.
No email or Google account needed, just the website and password (included in the download).
All instructions included in the escape room.
Great for examination practice.

The principles of a circulatory system.
Objective: Know why many animals have a heart and circulation which act as a mass transport system to overcome the limits of diffusion
A simple worksheet to generate a discussion amongst pairs/groups. Students use the analogy of a public transport system which makes it easier to understand an animal transport system.
A complete, ready-to-use assessment on waves that helps show student progression.
This formative( levelled) assessment task is perfect for GCSE Physics teachers who want a structured, engaging way to assess student understanding of wave types, properties, and equations . Clear differentiation from Grade 3 to Grade 9.
What’s included?
A real-world student-friendly context: Help a YouTuber create a physics explainer on waves
Fully guided task sheet covering:
Transverse and longitudinal waves
Wave properties (amplitude, frequency, wavelength, period, wave speed)
Clear success ladder:
Allow students to know exactly what Grade 3 to Grade 9 looks like
Extension task for high achievers: The Doppler Effect, red shift and application to sound/light
Marking:
Peer marking
Teacher marking
Suitable for use as:
Homework
In-class assessment
End-of-topic consolidation
Revision poster activity
This resource takes the thinking out of assessment planning, just print and go!
Perfect for stretching all abilities, especially with a meaningful Grade 9 application task built in.
A pdf file focusing on skeletal muscles. Students label the parts of the sarcomere. There is a basic diagram of the sliding filament theory that will help students describe the process of muscle contraction.
Answer sheet included.
A fun revision revision resource focusing on the topic Human Transport. Great to be used in the class or as a homework.
Just print the sheets back to back and fold down the dotted line.
The document consists of the specification points students should be aware of.
The activity has 5 pages of tasks focusing on:
the composition of the blood: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma
adaptations of red blood cells make them suitable for the transport of oxygen
how the immune system responds to disease using white blood cells,
describe the structure of the heart and how it functions
explain how the heart rate changes during exercise and under the influence of adrenaline
the structure of arteries, veins and capillaries and how this relates to their function
the general structure of the circulation system
the factors may increase the risk of developing coronary heart disease
