Currently selling and providing free resources for all three sciences, predominantly for GCSE, although there are some KS3 and A level chemistry resources available. Lots of the resources focus on differentiation and exam technique as I feel there is a profession- wide weakness in these areas.

Suitable for all exam boards
I have tried to base questions around the type of questions that may come up in exams: method descriptions, method improvement, reliability, calculations, etc. concept revision slides and suggested answers are included.
timing for whole resource: easily 45 minutes to one hour eaqch resource
differentiation: all to higher and foundation/easier levels
Good for: revision, homeworks, cover lessons, absent students, exam technique lessons, plenaries or starters

Based on the Edexcel specification (references included), but would work for other exam boards.
Exam style questions, with approximate grades given for differentiation.
Explores signs of plant disease and physical, chemical and mechanical barriers.
Includes maths calculations for cross sectional area and percentage.
Useful as a homework, revision lesson, cover lesson, part of a lesson, a send home for an ill student or as part of an independent study for triple students where lesson-time is tight.
Takes about 45 minutes to complete, if whole document completed
Answers included as a separate.
Based on AQA syllabus, but would work for other boards. Worked example and practice question(s) per sheet for all calculations in forces and motion units: Weight, work, resultant forces, splitting resultant forces into components, elasticity, moments, pressure, speed, acceleration, Newton’s second Law, momentum. Includes all topics for Foundation and Higher combined course and the triple course. Answers included for ease of marking
objective: maths, revision/consolidation
differentiation: the questions come in 3 levels of difficulty per sheet
good for: part of a lesson, e.g. starter; homework; as a set of revision sheets; cover; catch up for absent students
Based on AQA and Edexcel syllabi, but would work for other boards. Worked example and practice question(s) per sheet for all calculations in chemistry: RFM, the mole, mole and equations, mole and equations with volume of gases, concentration of solution, atom economy, percentage yield, titration calculations, strong and weak acids and bond energies. Includes all topics for Foundation and Higher combined course and the triple course (the course to which the topic pertains is put in the notes - if there is no note, it is for all students. Answers included for ease of marking
objective: maths, revision/consolidation
differentiation: the questions come in 2 levels of difficulty 'harder' and 'easier'

worksheet comparing alkanes and alkenes bonding and includes all important key terms.
differentiated, with a super-simple version for less able students. Answers included.
good for: extension activity, starter, plenary or homework
timing: 5 - 10 minutes
worksheet comparing ionic and covalent bonding and includes the misconception of covalent bonding being a weak bond.

this could also be called verbal tennis/ hockey or whatever, depending on the sex distribution of your class.
I have graded the teacher questions so that you have the option to choose which member of the team answers.
as always, any comments or suggested improvements are greatly appreciated
an adaptation of a resource (to the same tune) that I downloaded many years ago - I’m sorry I can no longer find it to credit the author. It has been modified and I know hope that it contains most of the information needed for the new course about alkenes and their reactions for a good way to end a lesson on alkenes or for part of a revision lesson.
