These resources sheets (A5) are designed to cover the objectives of a lesson. They are designed to make students focus on specific reliable supported resources that will help them develop there understanding whilst they are preparing for future tasks. They are aimed specifically at all KS3 students but can very much be used for low to middle ability kS4 students. They can be used to prepare students prior to a lesson which can then allow you to go deeper into a subject. They help support students if they are completing presentations, good home based distance learning resources. Each resource has links to written and youtube sources. Each resource has differentiated objectives (by outcome), each resource has suggestions on how they could be used to present, mentor and deliver the content they have learned. These resources are covered: current and charge; endo and exothermic reactions; exam question technique; forces; photosynthesis; interdependence; graph skills; reactivity series and displacement; respiration; voltage and resistance. The ppt slides will need to be scaled to fit.

This task is designed to be quick to do for the student and quick for the teacher to mark. The task has 3 points that the student will need to cover. Teachers will only need to highlight the points that the student has down well and what is needed to be done. A good way to assess and address any misconceptions.

This a short formative assessment task designed to be a short task and also quick to mark. This is a great resource to make the student reflect and for you to assess their understanding of distance time graphs and velocity time graphs. Its also good to spot the errors and misconceptions which might because DT and VT graphs are similar. All you need to do is highlight the areas that you think your student needs to improve upon. This can also be used as a good Home work activity.

Students find writing and expressing Science ideas hard. This an easy to refer to (tried and tested) guide for students. This is a resource that shows students how to write and break down a sentence when expressing a science idea at different levels and grades. This resource uses models of science sentences to do that, and its presented in a way that can be stuck in a glued in student books at the start of the year and then referred to. My student have found this invaluable and I also got in the habit of referring to it to help students. On this is also a guide to the written skills and the grades that the written grade for science might gain. This makes it a valuable reference sheet for KS3 and KS4.

Students struggle to write good flash card questions. I regularly find I need to teach students how to do this. I use this resource to help students make flashcards and use it to model how to write good questions on flash cards for effective revision. The resource is differentiated into three varying levels of difficulty (easy, moderate and hard) and also shows question types. It is designed to have on one slide for a PPT presentation or printed out in A5 for support card format. It can even be used to help trainee teachers when they are developing worksheets and lessons.

Attached are some quick to place in lessons, fun literacy style challenges intended for start or plenary use. The ppt contains a template for: word wheel, word wheel to encourage students to use words in sentences, find the keywords in two different formats and finally a taboo template.

This is an effective way show students how to approach and write 6 mark questions. These work very well along side my more structured 6 mark template approach - which is not sold as part of this set. Students love these. This resource is a designed to be quick to set up (with exam pro or existing 6 mark questions), aid the student on how to structure there answer, write in feedback, from which they can then write an excellent response to the question. You will need to add in the 6 mark question of choice (paste it in). It consists of three slides. the first one is the student copy. step 1) Students do not write in the answer but write in the ideas and connectives that will them answer. Step 2) from exampro, the ideas or statements from the 6 mark answer will be in the ideas box. Students write in feedback and corrections in green. Step 3) students then write the answer. Give a time limit. Step 4) mark and give back feedback. I found this to be really powerful, particularly in step 2 with the metacognitive phase. I have thrown in an example to show you how to do it.

This is designed for students completing GCSE and specifically aim at students who need extra support. So from the low ability groups to mid ability groups. Grades 1 - 6. These work well along side my less structured 6 mark templates for the higher ability groups which focus on what they know and how they are going to use that information. This resource is a designed to be quick to set up (with exam pro or existing 6 mark questions - paste them into the template), aid the student on how to structure there answer, write in feedback, from which they can then write an excellent response to the question. They also work along side a metacognitive approach. Students do not answer the questions yet! Students will need there ppt printed out but both slides on one sheet. This makes it easier to trim down and glue in books as a piece of formative assessment and also as a task on one side. My students love these. Instructions are on the ppt. 1.When showing this on the board, go through the tasks that need to be completed once they have read the question. 2. Students will need to then go through the tasks on their sheet and tick when completed. This will mimic how students should break down a long style (6 mark) answer. 3. Discuss what the students have come up with – if possible write down there ideas on the board on the ppt. 3. Then show ideas once they have completed the table on their sheet.

These/this quiz on infection response and immunity is designed to retrieve and reinforce key concepts and knowledge. This quiz should take 45 mins and then the model answers can then be used for the students to correct there work. This can be used as a major consolidation point, confidence builder, assessment point, revision lesson. These type of quizzes have been very useful when building subject knowledge. Besides Knowledge the resource focuses on Scientific Literacy, maths skills and required practical’s (from AQA). They can be used for most exam boards. The resource/s gets more challenging as the quiz progresses. The resource should be printed in either A4 or A3. This can be used as a major consolidation point, confidence builder, assessment point, revision lesson. These type of quizzes have been very useful when building subject knowledge with my classes and have produced excellent results.

A set of twelve cards with things not to do in the lab. A bit of fun and good discussion point for what to do and what not to do in the Sci lab. It really gets the students thinking and gets them motivated. Taboo. At the top of the card is the thing that must not be done in the lab. The student has to describe to another student what that thing is, whilst not using the words on the card. As a bit of a challenge - students should not be allowed to make actions. Enjoy!!

These cards are designed to be specifically used in Science but can quickly and easily be adapted for any subject. One set is for Low ability and another set for high ability. This task is designed to reinforce, consolidate, challenge and get students to think more deeply about ideas. These question cards are based on blooms. The resource is colourful and engaging (small) pack of cards with question prompts (sentence starters) that will prompt another students to ask another student insightful questions based on information that the teacher has given them. Each card has 5 question starters approx. Each card has a point score so students can get competitive and score themselves. There is a task slide to slide for lessons or that can be easily slotted into ppt. Each slide is one set of cards with the exception of the LA cards, one slide is two sets. One pack is for low to mid ability and one pack is for Mid to High ability. This is a great way to get students to look back at work to develop, think and extend there understanding. My students really enjoyed this resource and progressed as a result. These cards are good at developing critical thinking and when used over a period of time, great confidence and oral skills within the subject. Top tip! I would ask students to read key parts of lesson material or paragraphs first so students can easily locate the information they need to ask other student questions.

This is a one page checklist that can be glued in student books and also placed on websites like show my homework. It is designed to be simple for students and parents wanting to help students. Higher tier and required practical content is indicated on the page.

One Page trilogy checklist containing P1 and P2 material. Simple list of lessons within topics. Student friendly. Designed for students based on feedback from them. My students love these. It has Higher content indicated and it also has required practicals on it as well. Great to go in a students book or to go onto something like show my homework. Good for parents as well.

These resources are designed to help students develop knowledge of what the keywords in Physics means and get them to practice independence (research) skills to find out what they mean. These resources are designed to act as homework sheets, which can easily be printed off on A4 and then easily marked in class. They can also be used as research formative assessment sheets in class. These sheets are designed in a format which can quickly and easily be further differentiated depending on group and needs of the group. Each sheet has model answers which can be shown in class and students can write in instant feedback. Topics included are: Energy, Particle model matter, Atomic Structure and Radiation, Electricity. These topics and word sheets are specifically aimed at the AQA GCSE course P1, however they cross over easily into other specifications. My classes have really appreciated them, especially those classes who find it hard managing the amount of jargon needed to be understood in Physics. These students also found it reassuring partcularly when physics got too mathsy or abstract for them.
