This 8 page long worksheet was made for last minute revision for IGCSE Coordinated Science for pupils to go over the formulas. They are mostly physics, but also biology for magnification and chemistry mole calculations. There is a space for them to write the formula, an example question and a space for them to do their calculations. Those highlighted grey correspond to the Exended tier of IGCSE Coordinated science 0654. Please note I did not write the questions, they have been taken/borrowed from TES contributors, BBC bitesize and other revision websites.

This is a sheet with example cell diagrams from all of the 5 kingdoms as well as a virus diagram. Pupils have to complete examples from each kingdom and produce a Venn Diagram to show what the cells/kingdoms and viruses have in common (or not?!).

This is a lab report frame with colour coordination of variables and goes through the full process. If a pupil follows all the steps they can achieve a level 5 in AF 3,4, and 5. Good for lower ability, really has helped my students a lot.
