I am a Science Teacher with 25 years experience and love producing resources. As one of my HoD's remarked "Your lesson plans and resources are outstanding, if only you could teach as good as your resources." Chemistry is my main subject, but have an interest in Pedagogy, especially CASE (Cognitive Acceleration through Science Education) and misconceptions and how to overcome them.

This updated Biology resource now has individual 9-1 graded exam style questions to assess students levels. It is used with KS4 and is designed to ask questions on Working Scientifically and the Maths calculations that are involved. These exam style questions with model answers are adapted from AQA past papers. They are normally used post practical as assessment / revision / homework, but can be used during as well or a cover lesson. This contains all the Required Practicals in Biology in one place: Osmosis, Decay, Enzymes, Field Investigations, Food Tests, Microbiology, Photosynthesis, Plant Response and Reaction Times. It also includes the Required Practical Graphic Orgainser helpsheet (worth £1) that will help the students answer the questions in these resources. Each required practical resource comes as a 5 Power Point slide to project in lessons and a PDF version for printing. It has two sheets of questions and two sheets of answers allowing for students to self or peer assess. On the top right hand corner of the sheet the students can identify areas where they need to improve so that teachers can easily see which section they are having trouble with. Each sheet assesses students skills including interpreting the data, calculations, remembering the Health and Safety and suggesting ways of improving the experiment. Key concepts covered are types of error and rarer ones such as validity, reproducibility and repeatability. Each question slide has Blooms Style Learning Objectives for whole class focused learning.

This is a compilation of booklets produced to help students studying for the Foundation level AQA Biology GCSE. They can be used in class or at home. They come with PowerPoints to show in class if needed. They cover: Ecology Homeostasis Infection and Response Inheritance Variation and Evolution I used them in a behaviour unit as attendance affected learning/ I felt students could start where they left off and take the booklet home for revision at the end.

Electrical Models with Animations (suitable for home use)

(0)
Update: Lowered the price if you have to teach this topic at this time This resource of the different electrical models has moving parts to show the students how the model works if they were to see it in real life. It talks about the sweets/matches model, water models (radiator/waterfall), delivery model (coal to Power station) and the ball bearing (chains/rope/dominoes) model and now the Traffic in a City Model. Each model has an animation and asks the students what each part represents and how they can adapt the model to show series/parallel or higher voltage. I have added a worksheet on each model so that students can evaluate each model on how good it is. A master worksheet for adding your own model and a sheet for students to come up with their own model to help their understanding. If you want an animation that shows what happens in a circuit that I made for free (so you can see how bad (or good) my animation skills in powerpoint are, click here: /teaching-resource/understanding-electricity-voltage-and-current-12450133 For more resources free (and paid), check out my shop: /teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Please comment if you have found this resource useful.

Power lesson
stephenkemp193stephenkemp193

Power lesson

(2)
This is a GCSE Physics resource for KS3 and KS4. It follows the new AQA Science course. It encourages students to think about the power equation. The practical invites them to calculate if they are more powerful than a kettle by planning a practical and testing it out. Let the students find out if they are more powerful than a kettle, by looking at the Power rating on a kettle and then timing themselves (one at a time) running up a set of stairs. You will find that if you have a high mass (like me) you are more powerful then the students who can run up fast, but not in half the time. They will find out they are not quite as powerful as a kettle and they enjoyed the chance of being able to “run” when they are not normally allowed to do this. If you have found this resource useful, pleas comment and also have a look at my shop at: /teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193
