Welcome to my range of science resources, I hope to support teachers and students to make teaching and learning as stress free as possible and also make it as enjoyable as possible. My current highlight of my work is my complete range of 4-Steps revision and AQA exam preparation workbooklets which can be used as part of lessons or to support revision. Supporting all students including SEN and SEMH, includes concise and detailed notes, exam style questions and model answers/interventions.

Useful for students to use for revision, and for teachers to use in a lesson as an activity to help students learn the action potential graph.
Includes a 'Do' slide and 'Review' slide. The 'Do' slide is an activity to check understanding, statements can be matched to each part of a blank graph which students can be encouraged to have a go at drawing (you need to source this - many options available on internet for checking students work). The 'Review' are the answers which doubles up as a revision card for the student.
Teaching Ideas: The Do can follow chalk and talk or similar as the teaching component, alternatively send one student in a group at a time to view the graph and report back to draw the graph shape. Students can then work out which statement belongs where, this should be followed up by teacher consolidation.
Field Trip Workbooklets
Includes the information pack for leaders and the question packs for students.
This is editable and suitable for woodlands trips, this trip took place at the Sandringham Estate, Norfolk, but the documents are editable so can be tailored to other locations.
Linked to KS3 and GCSE curriculum.
Includes ideas for extensions that can be researched and completed away from the trip
A word document containing many activities ready for a couple of lessons on Disease and the Immune System for OCR A Level. Suitable to use as a circus or for independent learning. Also suitable for more of a chalk and talk style lesson, but please note content slides are not included in this, just a nice pack of various activities.
Contains:
disease/transmission/factors - match up activity
defence - dominoes
phagocytosis - sentence sort and modelling activity (supply dough)
T-lymphocyte activation and the rest of the immune response - cloze activities, labelling
Role of antibodies - read from any text book - the students translate into pictures
Exam questions and mark scheme
Useful for students to use for revision, and for teachers to use in a lesson as an activity or plenary. Contains module 5 section 1 - Receptors and Neurones, Action Potential content.

Use in a flipped classroom situation as an instructional sheet, as homework in the lesson prior.
Glycolysis and the Link Reaction Double Lesson
Learning intention: To describe the process and site of glycolysis and the link reaction
Can easily be split into two lessons if required. Works well in flipped learning or by a traditional method.
This was written to meet the OCR A specification but looks like it would meet the requirements of other exam boards or could be easily tweaked.
Resources include take away active revision cards for students, which double up as sources of information and can be issued the lesson prior to turn into a flipped learning environment - they read all the information they need, then spend the lesson learning it further/ applying it/ using it.
Plenty of activities for students to learn and demontrate progress.
Anaerobic Respiration and Respiratory Quotients Double Lesson
Learning intention: To describe the process of anaerobic respiration and the use and interpretation of the respiratory quotient
