Like a standard pack of cards, but with one key difference. There are 4 suits each with 13 cards (pH numbers, UI indicator colours, Examples and type/strength). The can be used as a normal pack of cards to play snap, encouraging pupils to match pH number with the right UI colour, or example with the right pH number...so on and so forth. There are suggestions for games, including 'Neutral' where pupils play snap but instead of matching pHs they have to neutralise, this is a higher level game requiring a much better level of understanding so could be suited to KS4 aswell.

A set of visual cards each covering a key idea that I have found students struggle with. Each card has images and information boxes that summarise the key information. Cards include; Natural clones, artificial clones, genetic key terms, immunity, white blood cells, fractional distillation, P and S waves, wave calculations, Intermolecular forces, inverse square law, DDT, Chlorine, Sustainability and environmental impact, Genetic testing of a fetus, Blood pressure, Antigen and antibody, Redshift, Patterns in chemical names, General model of radiation, Pollutants, Catalytic converters and Polymer modifications. I use them during independent study and DIRT time as a support resource. They couls also be used for differentiation to support students. I use them when students are responding to feedback to rewrite exam questions they got wrong.

A selection of fact files of famous scientists that can used by pupils to write a newspaper page. Encourages pupils to see scientists as normal people who have families, aspirations and hobbies etc, also allows them to appreciate that scientists come from all walks of life and that science has been studied for a very long time. Good cross-curriculum activity improving media literacy.

This is a set of 6 revision sheets for the AQA B6 topic. The content would also be applicable to other exam boards. The resources contains a mixture of styles of revision challenges including; ordering tasks, number recall tasks, cloze activities, useful key term definitions and labeling tasks. There are visual prompts and relevant examples.

A set of revision sheets that allow students to review the AQA P4 topic. The content is all jumbled up so to keep students on their toes! Visual images are used to engage and challenge students and there is a mixture of cloze tasks, tables to complete, useful term key definitions and labeling tasks.

This is a set of resources to complete a DTT session on the immune response. Included are: A) A pre-test and mark scheme to diagnose students understanding and content knowledge. B) A presentation to use as therapy that includes definitions, diagrams and worked examples. C) A post-test and mark scheme to be completed by students to assess progress. Key ideas covered: clonal selection and proliferation, antibody structure, opsonisation, neutralisation and agglutination, specific and non specific immune responses, primary versus secondary responses. This could be used in response to poor performance in an exam or as revision prior to an exam.

A range of 6 mark questions that have been broken down to identify how phrasing, command words, diagrams can be used to understand how to answer the question. In addition what part of the GCSE course the question is linked to and what they should revise if they are unable to answer the question due to lacking the specific scientific knowledge. Each can be printed separately or as a booklet, they could also be used individually as H/W tasks or in lesson activities within the relevant topics as well as revision tasks. The mark schemes could be downloaded from Exampro for each question. The exam questions chosen are for the majority biology and chemistry.

This is a set of resources to complete a DTT session on proteins. Included are: A) A pre-test and mark scheme to diagnose students understanding and content knowledge. B) A presentation to use as therapy that includes definitions, diagrams and worked examples. C) A post-test and mark scheme to be completed by students to assess progress. Key ideas covered: levels of protein structure, amino acid structure, peptide bond formation, steps in protein synthesis. This could be used in response to poor performance in an exam or as revision prior to an exam.

This is a team challenge lesson that contains 5 challenges: 1. Using information in an element symbol. 2. Giant covalent diagram challenge. 3. Atomic structure diagram and detail challenge. 4. Types of bonding summary table challenge. 5. Group 7 trends and detail challenge. This is designed to address specific mistakes that I have consistently found students make/forget in exams.

I use this as part of the year 9 physics transition course but it would fit into the GCSE curriculum perfectly. This is really a computer room lesson as the students use first the footprints science website for recapping and then a PhET interactive to find out about gas pressure and factors that affect this. This is very much about students carrying out work independently, but has assessment points where they can evidence their understanding. The worksheet to accompany the main activity leads them through the interactive for gas pressure and tests their understanding as they progress.

This is a series of slides that cover key components of the Yr7 music curriculum including: MR HF TON Clefs quaver, crotchet, minim and semibreve summary Sections of the orchestra Instruments in each section of the orchestra - strings, brass, woodwind and percussion Structure of popular music Dynamics Notes on a keyboard Major and minor chords and tone and semitone Programme music - Polednice and Peter and the Wolf Peter and the Wolf - characters, instrument and motifs This was developed to support revision for end of year exam, but sections could be used for H/W or in lessons as appropriate.

This was developed for Yr11 for revision after the whole course had been completed in the run up to the actual GCSE exams. The lesson starts with a speed grid where students have to analyse the formulae to determine the number of elements and the number of atoms. This is followed by a review of relative atomic and formula mass. Then a task where an exemplar is provided that writes about carbon dioxide and its formula mass, Avogadro’s number. moles and how to work out the number of particles in say 0.5 moles, or how to use the formula mass and actual mass to work out how many moles of a substance there is. Finally there is then a levelled formula mass question task for students to apply and practice the key skills.

Each slide covers a key idea and the detail associated with it including slides for a whole range of paper 1 relevant content some of which are: Reaction profiles Preferential discharge Eletrolysis and OIL RIG Graphene, fullerenes and carbon nanotubes Strong and weak acids - ionisation Concentrated and dilute acids The Modern periodic table (differences to Mendeleev’s) Intermolecular forces There are in total 18 different ideas, I have purposefully selected the less common ideas such as atomic structure, bonding etc. At the start there is an opportunity for students to RAG rate themselves for the 18 key ideas and in this way you can target specific areas of weakness. This can be used as a teacher led lesson, as a student led lesson or be used to support revision at home.

This is a fully resourced lesson that covers mitosis, meiosis, differentiation and a small amount of binary fission. It was developed for Yr 11 revision after completion of the whole course. It includes a sorting task, knowledge organiser with comprehension questions and 6 mark style exam questions and marking points. The sorting task is lengthy so you may choose to cut it down as this was developed for a triple science class. Exam practice from exam pro was used to assess students understanding.

This is a collage of images, designed to stimulate pupils to think about the different scientific disciplines (biology, chemistry & physics), what they are concerned with, what the fundamental ideas are etc. It needs to be printed out A3, I have used a poster collation program to enlarge it, print it out on many sheets of A4 and put it back together as a classroom display. Pupils can be challenged to; 'find the physics pictures', find 5 different species', find the colours of the spectrum', 'find 6 energy transfers' etc.
