This revision tool uses 'spaced learning' to 1) quickly re-teach the key points of the module (10minsx2) 2) Get the pupils to recall the key information (10minsx2) and 3) Enable an opportunity to check pupil understanding of the key concepts (20minsx2). [Exam questions need printing and preparing in advance].
I give these out to students when each new topic is taught. It is really useful for helping lower ability improve their written explanations and also acts as a good revision tool.
Keywords for AQA B2 Unit. One document with definitions, another without, to be used as revision aids or worksheets as pupils progress through the unit. Higher tier words identified.
Intro to Newton's 2nd law, followed by centripetal force explanation and planning activity based around the Rubber Bung on a String practical. Adapted from another users ppt. who also has an uploaded worksheet for the practical which I gave to pupils who couldn't plan their own investigation.
This resource breaks down the first unit of the Chemistry course for AQA Combined Science: Trilogy into differentiated learning outcomes. This is for teachers and students to support them in assessing their learning and identifying what is required to develop their responses and to achieve a higher level. This resource can be used to guide teacher assessment and feedback, peer assessment and feedback or individual student reflection and feedback. Broadly speaking, Level 1 translates to grades 1-3 of the new GCSE grading system, Level 2 is roughly 4-6 and Level 3 aiming at grades 7-9. This is only a sample of one unit, but generally if students are repeatedly hitting level 3 criteria across the entire GCSE course, then it is likely that they will be achieving grades 7-9 in their exams. This resource is an example of the entire course breakdown in the same format, split into the three areas (Biology, Physics and Chemistry). Ideally, the use of all of the differentiated success criteria or learning outcomes would be embedded alongside the learning right the way through to the exams at the end of Year 11.
Second lesson looking at moments and their turning effects. This uses the pupils knowledge of the moments equation to experiment with toppling clamp stands and calculating their maximum loads/moments. Followed by explanation and exam (AQA old P3) questions.
This is designed as a second lesson on hard water. In pairs (1's and 2&'s) pupils research different questions on water softening. They then work together to complete exam questions based on their research. 1&';s teaching 2's how to answer some questions, and vice versa. Work can be collected or peer assessed.
This is an independent task for students to work on over a number of lessons and at home, culminating in a sharing event that mimics a research dissemination conference. Also attached is a feedback sheet that can be used for assessment by teacher, self or peer. Some of the hyperlinks will not work, and you will need to re-link them to the relevant resources.
