Contains some of the key terms needed for the new GCSE specification Can be used as a plenary/homework/starter/revision activity Answers included

Can be used at the start of the year as a lesson in the library or as a homework to encourage students and parents to use their local library. The activity is made up of a series of questions which the students can find the answers to all over the library or from the librarian. It should encourage them to explore the facilities available and allow them to feel confident using the library. The task is independent and students can keep the booklet once complete for reference Both files have the same content, the only difference is that the booklet should print as a booklet if you select double sided when printing.

A quick quiz for tutor time or a homework. Could also be used at the start of the school year to get students brains thinking about science after the holidays Suitable for KS3 and KS4

An activity for teachers and parents that can be carried out at school, at home or as homework for all key stages. The activity includes suggested activities, some examples of use and printable binoculars to print and use or just for inspiration. I have provided a Power Point of images taken through my homemade binoculars to provoke inspiration and as in introduction to the idea. It also allows the activity to continue on a rainy day. Have fun investigating your local area/school/garden and spend time to appreciate everything around you. Can be used across a broad selection of topics and tailored to your needs or just as a bit of fun. Curriculum areas: Biology Natural World Senses Descriptive writing Creative writing Drawing Observation skills HSW (How Science Works) Living organisms Plants Water cycle Solids, liquids and gases Geography Home schooling Virtual learning Independent learning and many many more

New style assessment with 20 multiple choice questions and 26 marks of written questions. It is quite difficult so allow enough time for your students to answer. My students found it challenging as they are not used to multiple choice questions but they are improving with every assessment - more to follow :) Covers 2015 OCR AS Chemistry specification Module 2.1 Breadth of Chemistry Depth of Chemistry

A PP and accompanying activities covering the AQA specification for Biology module 5 of the new AQA combined science Trilogy specification. The resource is designed to help reduce your planning time by providing you with the main specification points for each topic so you can focus on making lessons creative and engaging. Each sub-topic includes a few quick multiple choice questions (MCQ) to assess students learning (AFL) I have included a selection of activities to support learning Topics covered: Homeostasis Human Nervous system Human endocrine system Control of blood glucose Hormones in human reproduction Contraception The use of hormones to treat infertility (HT) Negative feedback (HT) Most activities are differentiated to support learners

A stand alone activity to help students understand how rate of reaction is measured and calculated. LO: To analyse data from a rate of reaction experiment and to evaluate practical methods as part of the skills required for AQA Required Practicals Skills covered: MS 1a: Recognise and use expressions in decimal form. MS 1c: Use ratios, fractions and percentages. MS 1 d:Make estimates of the results of simple calculations. MS 4a: Translate information between graphical and numeric form. MS 4b: Drawing and interpreting appropriate graphs from data to determine rate of reaction. MS 4c: Plot two variables from experimental or other data. MS 4d: Determine the slope and intercept of a linear graph. MS 4e: Draw and use the slope of a tangent to a curve as a measure of rate of change. Activity 5.6.1.1 accompanies the skeleton PP, Rate of reaction Skeleton PP for AQA Combined Science (Biology topic 6.1) - also available from TES

A PP covering the AQA specification for Biology module 4.6.2 of the new AQA combined science Trilogy specification. The resource is designed to help reduce your planning time by providing you with the main specification points for each topic so you can focus on making lessons creative and engaging. Each sub-topic includes a few quick multiple choice questions (MCQ) to assess students learning (AFL) Topics covered: Variation Evolution Selective breeding Genetic engineering I hope to have covered the entire year 11 course for the new specification (biology, Chemistry and Physics) by summer 2017 so please keep checking for more resources. I will also be making assessments to go alongside the resources ready for September

A PP covering the AQA specification for Physics module 5 of the new AQA combined science Trilogy specification. The resource is designed to help reduce your planning time by providing you with the main specification points for each topic so you can focus on making lessons creative and engaging. Each sub-topic includes a few quick multiple choice questions (MCQ) to assess students learning (AFL) Topics covered: Scalar and vector quantities Contact and non-contact forces Gravity resultant forces Work done and energy transfer Forces and elasticity I hope to have covered the entire year 11 course for the new specification (biology, Chemistry and Physics) by summer 2017 so please keep checking for more resources.
