Frankie's science Lab 1 2 3 4 5 1 Quiz,  Age 7-11 (KS2)PhysicsBiologyChemistryPrimary PhysicsPrimary BiologyPrimary ChemistryThis is a fun interactive quiz aimed at KS2 science. The aim is to wander around Frankie's house and collect body parts for his creature by finding certain objects. The questions include topics on teeth,forces, plants and types of changes. Great to do as a group activity to see who can find the object first!
Pests and pest control 1 2 3 4 5 1 Presentation,  Age 14-16 (KS4 / GCSE)Age 11-14 (KS3)GeographyBiologyEcosystemsEnergy and the environmentA powerpoint to introduce the topic of pests and how they can be controlled. The damage that pests can do is illustrated, along with some examples of pests. A simple introduction to pest control methods is given, along with their advantages and disadvantages. Animated pictures of animals 'speaking' and 'thinking' help tell the story - lower ability classes love it!
Electricity activity with workbooks 1 2 3 4 5 6 Presentations,  Age 7-11 (KS2)PhysicsElectricity and CircuitsCircuits and static electricity pwrpnts and notebook with workbook templates.
Intro to the Science Lab 1 2 3 4 5 1 Presentation,  Age 7-11 (KS2)Age 11-14 (KS3)PhysicsBiologyChemistryPrimary PhysicsPrimary BiologyPrimary ChemistrySmart Notebook file introducing pupils to laboratory safety, equipment and measuring. Incorporates simple visual drag and drop activities.
Deal or no deal KS3 Physics Revision 1 2 3 4 5 1 Quiz,  Age 11-14 (KS3)PhysicsSpaceElectricity and CircuitsForces and MotionAn interactive quiz in the style of deal or no deal. Get pupils to choose a box and then answer the question correctly to get the banker to make them an offer. The questions are true or false and are levelled from L3 -L7 so students can see their progress. Perfect for year 9 KS3 revision!!
dominoe games 1 2 3 4 5 9 Worksheets,  Age 16-18 (A-level)ChemistryStructures and BondingOrganic ChemistryRates and EquilibriaChemical ReactionsThese games are useful for quick revision at the end of a topic. They are fun as well as educationally valuble. Simply print as many copies as needed and cut to size. The spreadsheet can be edited to suit the needs of individual schools. To make a permanent set for reuse, use coloured paper and laminate.
Redox potentials 1 2 3 4 5 1 Presentation,  1 Worksheet,  Age 16-18 (A-level)ChemistryChemical ReactionsThis PowerPoint explains how to use redox potentials (electrode potentials) to predict whether a reaction will occur or not. This is one of the most difficult topics to understand and students are often confused by it. The topic is clearly explained in this PowerPoint using animated examples and understanding is checked with interactive questions.
Taxis and Kinesis 1 2 3 4 5 3 Presentations,  3 Worksheets,  Age 14-16 (KS4 / GCSE)Age 16-18 (A-level)Age 11-14 (KS3)BiologyHuman and Animal BiologyIntroduces taxis and kinesis responses in flatworms/woodlice/maggots. I assume that students will have done the choice chamber experiments (an adapted version of which accompanies the powerpoint). The spreadsheet makes data analysis easier (save it as a template to avoid students ovewriting it).
Harry Potter and the Variable Traits 1 2 3 4 5 1 Presentation,  3 Worksheets,  Age 11-14 (KS3)BiologyGenetics and evolution A lesson plan, powerpoint and worksheet to help students explore continuous and discrete variation. Powerpoint uses the Harry Potter characters to provide a data set for students to interpret. Worksheet includes an extension for more able students.
Transition elements (Introduction) 1 2 3 4 5 1 Presentation,  Age 16-18 (A-level)ChemistryThe Periodic TableThis powerpoint looks at the electronic structures of transition elements. It uses animation to explain how electronic structure changes with ion formation. It clearly explains the difference between D block element and transition element. Understanding is tested by interactive questions.
Structural formulae 1 2 3 4 5 1 Presentation,  Age 16-18 (A-level)ChemistryOrganic ChemistryThis Powerpoint explains via diagrams and animations how to draw and interpret structural formulae. The often misunderstood ideas are explained, then understanding is checked via interactive questions.
Distance-Time graphs and speed with Darth Vader 1 2 3 4 5 1 Presentation,  Age 14-16 (KS4 / GCSE)Age 11-14 (KS3)PhysicsForces and MotionThis started as something a little silly when showing a class how to do custom animations in powerpoint. It turned out to become something I'm very proud of! It revises speed then takes pupils step-by-step through the use and design of distance-time graphs. It allows for some teacher-lead bits, pupil enquiry and has assessment at the end. Darth Vader rushing to use the loo helps!!
Weak Acids 1 2 3 4 5 1 Presentation,  Age 16-18 (A-level)ChemistryRates and EquilibriaThis Powerpoint is an introduction to weak acids and the acid dissociation constant. There are examples of calculations and at the end the understanding is checked with interactive questions.
Introduction to pH 1 2 3 4 5 1 Presentation,  1 Worksheet,  Age 16-18 (A-level)ChemistryRates and EquilibriaThis PowerPoint is an introduction to pH. It uses animation and analogy to illustrate the concept. The use of logs is also explained, again using animation. There are examples of calculations and at the end the understanding is checked with interactive questions. An associated Excel file is an interactive illustration of linear and log scales.
Describing habitats 1 2 3 4 5 1 Other,  1 Presentation,  2 Worksheets,  Age 7-11 (KS2)Age 11-14 (KS3)BiologyGenetics and evolution Human and Animal BiologyPlantsEnergy and the environmentAn activity developed to get students to think about the conditions of different habitats in which some animals/plants might be adapted to live. Then the main task, students are split into groups and given a habitat to study, using textbooks, internet etc. The aim is for them to make a presentation for the group. I would have the groups peer assess each other as well. Nice catchy song too :)
