I'm head of science in a large, diverse 14-18 comprehensive school. I've been here since I was an NQT. I teach across the age/ability range and teach all three sciences to GCSE.

Filter these results:
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),  Biology,  Human and Animal Biology,  Introduces 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).
Hardy-Weinberg Principle 1 2 3 4 5 1 Other,  1 Presentation,  1 Worksheet,  Age 16-18 (A-level),  Biology,  Genetics and evolution ,  A fully illustrated, hyperlinked, animated powerpoint presentation (21 slides) introduces the Hardy-Weinberg principle. Includes assumptions (see link), derivation and three examples: Banded snail, Rhesus and Kuru (a prion disease caused by cannibalism in New Guinea). The word document includes 3 double-sided worksheets and full answer sheets. They were written to accompany the powerpoint.
Succession of habitats 1 2 3 4 5 1 Presentation,  Age 16-18 (A-level),  Biology,  Human and Animal Biology,  Plants,  Energy and the environment,  A fully illustrated, hyperlinked, animated powerpoint presentation (15 slides) introducing key ideas in succession. Primary succession from bare rock to forest on Dartmoor, Devon is used as an example. Primary/secondary/deflected succession are all introduced along with key ideas. Includes an animated summary slide and a task slide to guide students to explore other examples.
Classification and Phylogeny 1 2 3 4 5 1 Presentation,  1 Worksheet,  Age 16-18 (A-level),  Biology,  Genetics and evolution ,  An animated, interactive powerpoint which introduces the key features of classification. The hyperlinking allows you to explore concepts at different levels with different groups. Key topics: Species, Artificial/Natural classification, KPCOFGS, Phylogeny, Molecular data, Behaviour. (26 slides)
Digestion activity 1 2 3 4 5 1 Presentation,  2 Worksheets,  Age 14-16 (KS4 / GCSE),  Age 11-14 (KS3),  Biology,  Human and Animal Biology,  A powerpoint for students to edit and complete. Written as a cover lesson to give fairly disaffected / less able students something a bit more interesting to do than 100 minutes of worksheets. The answer sheet gives suggested extensions for those who finish first / want them. Written to meet requirements of OCR 21st Century Science (C3.4 1-4).
Hormonal Control of Menstrual Cycle 1 2 3 4 5 2 Presentations,  3 Worksheets,  Age 16-18 (A-level),  Biology,  Growth,  Human and Animal Biology,  Animated, interactive powerpoint which guides students through the hormonal control of the human menstrual cycle. It is extensively hyperlinked so that you can choose which bits to show. The two double sided worksheets (+answer sheets) use a variety of cloze / colouring / short answer questions. The card sort is differentiated (+answers). The reproductive organs powerpoint is "click to label".
Surface area : volume ratios 1 2 3 4 5 1 Worksheet,  Age 16-18 (A-level),  Biology,  Human and Animal Biology,  Energy and the environment,  Two double-sided worksheets which explore surface-area to volume ratios. The first one deals with working out ratios and looks at some invertebrate examples. The second one looks at the ubiquitous Shrew-Elephant curve. Both include full answer sheets.
Xylem and water uptake in plants 1 2 3 4 5 2 Presentations,  1 Worksheet,  Age 16-18 (A-level),  Biology,  Plants,  Molecules and cells,  Animated, interactive powerpoint which explains water uptake (apoplast/symplast pathways), transpiration and xylem structure The water uptake worksheets (including a crossword) complement the powerpoint and include answers. The labelling the leaf powerpoint is a hyperlinked 'click and name' slide-show.
Polymers Revision Hexagon 1 2 3 4 5 1 Revision,  Age 14-16 (KS4 / GCSE),  Chemistry,  Earth Resources and Metals,  Organic Chemistry,  Triangle puzzle on polymers where students match sentence fragments to construct a large hexagon. It is a revision activity which works across the ability range and is enjoyed by students. This could be used for groups of three, and it works well as a race. An answer sheet is provided.
Homeostasis Revision Hexagons 1 2 3 4 5 2 Worksheets,  Age 14-16 (KS4 / GCSE),  Biology,  Human and Animal Biology,  Molecules and cells,  Groups of 3 students have 24 triangles to rearrange into a large hexagon. Each side of the triangle has half of a sentence on it. They pair the sentences to work out which triangle goes where. Hexagon 1 is on negative feedback and thermoregulation. Hexagon 2 is on diffusion, osmosis and the kidney. Answer sheets included. Works well as a race with a suitable prize.
Gas Exchange in Fish and Insects 1 2 3 4 5 1 Presentation,  1 Worksheet,  Age 16-18 (A-level),  Biology,  Human and Animal Biology,  Animated, interactive powerpoint which guides students through the countercurrent system of fish gills and the tracheal system of insects (28 slides). It is hyperlinked so that you can choose which bits to show. The accompanying document comprises three worksheets and answer sheets. They use a variety of cloze / colouring / short answer questions .
Cholera - Mechanism and Data Handling 1 2 3 4 5 1 Other,  2 Presentations,  2 Worksheets,  Age 16-18 (A-level),  Geography,  Biology,  Population and settlements,  Health and Disease,  Two powerpoint presentations with accompanying worksheets. The first introduces cholera and explains how it affects the small intestine's transport proteins leading to diarrhoea. The second looks at the December 2008 Cholera outbreak using UN data. The lesson can be introduced with BBC news clips/articles (search for 'Zimbabwe cholera' on the BBC homepage).
Drawing using a microscope 1 2 3 4 5 1 Presentation,  Age 14-16 (KS4 / GCSE),  Age 16-18 (A-level),  Biology,  Human and Animal Biology,  Plants,  Molecules and cells,  An interactive guide to drawing using a light microscope. Runs through how to set up the microscope, gives hints on how to draw microscope images and highlights common problems. 7 slides
Polymers from crude oil 1 2 3 4 5 1 Worksheet,  Age 14-16 (KS4 / GCSE),  Chemistry,  Structures and Bonding,  Organic Chemistry,  Earth Resources and Metals,  Introduction to refining and polymerisation. An onscreen cloze/labelling activity written in Excel; it ticks each word as students get them correct. Students like it because it gives immediate feedback. I've used it with all ability groups at GCSE. If you want to work out how it's done, the password to unprotect it is 'teachable'. Save as a template to stop students overwriting the original.
Balancing combustion equations 1 2 3 4 5 1 Worksheet,  Age 14-16 (KS4 / GCSE),  Chemistry,  Chemical Reactions,  This is a powerpoint which looks at balancing simple equations. I wrote it to accompany a module on combustion and air pollution. It is in the form of a workbook where students can edit the powerpoint presentation; moving atoms around (copying and pasting as necessary). It works well on a smartboard. For lower ability students it is better done in smaller chunks.
GCSE Circulation test and answers 1 2 3 4 5 1 Worksheet,  Age 14-16 (KS4 / GCSE),  Biology,  Human and Animal Biology,  A 20 mark test on circulation for more able students. Straightforward and easy to mark. First image is from from 'Biodidac' - so it must remain a free resource. Answers provided.

Nuclear Radiation 1 2 3 4 5 1 Worksheet,  Age 14-16 (KS4 / GCSE),  Physics,  Radioactivity and atoms,  This looks at alpha/beta/gamma radiation. An onscreen cloze/labelling activity written in Excel; it ticks each word as students get them correct. Students like it because it gives immediate feedback. I've used it with all ability groups at GCSE. If you want to work out how it's done, the password to unprotect it is 'teachable'. Save as a template to stop students overwriting the original
