I post things that are finished and that work. I make resources when I can't find anything that works in the way which I want it to. If they don't work for you then let me know through the comments section and I'll try to put them right. If they do work and you like them then please comment too. Some things take a long time to make and to get right... so I charge a little for those.

A version of the glossary provided by the exam boards. This one has had its reading age reduced but not it's content or it&'s usefulness. It can also be used to introduce the terms in KS3 if you are 'Getting Practical'

How many atoms are there in me? starter.

(2)
I don't know what prompted it but a student asked me, 'How many atoms are there in me?' After a quick calculation based on her mass and the atoms all being carbon, the number was too big to visualise. Hence the subsequent question from the same student, 'So how big would that be if every atom was a one pence piece?' This is the result. Thanks Niamh, for the original question

Q&A sheet on rates for OCR Gateway C3

Q&A sheet on rates for OCR Gateway C3

(1)
The first page is the Q&A sheet, with questions from the syllabus. Higher tier questions in bold type. Students can revise alone, just fold down the middle. Or with a partner, the advantage being that the partner has the correct answers, so they don't have to invent questions or make up answers. Great for parental involvement in revision. The second page has the answers removed and can be used for testing. No need for you to mark it, if the pupils have their copy of the QéA sheet they can peer or self mark and then set targets. Comments and feedback welcome
