This is the full resource pack for an assessment for KS4 students who are studying limestone, building materials, matching properties to uses, thermal decomposition and method writing. The resource pack comes with several parts; 1. PowerPoint presentation to introduce the task. 2. Word document printout for the students to stick in their books. 3. Word document printout with a level ladder on so that the students can self/peer assess the work. 4. Excel spreadsheet that can be used to automatically generate extended written feedback including improvement strategies for the teacher to give the students. A guide on how to use this resource can be freely accessed at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/the-automarker-11191496 5. Word document printout writing frame to assist students who may benefit from additional help with this task. This is based on an old AQA Chemistry Exam Paper. This task is good for training students to answer long questions i.e. 6 mark questions at GCSE, or preparing students from writing pieces of coursework that require method writing skills. This task is suitable for students at Grade E-A*, however I have removed some of these grades so that you can use the old or new grading system.

This is the free version of an assessment for KS3/KS4 students who are studying space, satellites, how distance from the sun affects the temperature of the planet. I have also produced a resource pack available to purchase from TES at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/data-from-space-quality-mark-assessment-full-resource-pack-11346644 The resource pack comes with several parts; 1. PowerPoint presentation to introduce the task. 2. Word document printout for the students to stick in their books. 3. Word document printout with a level ladder on so that the students can self/peer assess the work, there is also a column so the teacher can tick off the achieved criteria. 4. Word document containing a mark scheme. 5.

A guide on how to use this resource can be freely accessed at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/the-automarker-11191496 6. Word document printout writing frame to assist students who may benefit from additional help with this task. 7. JPEG images showing a hand-drawn versions of the graph, this may also be useful for students who aren't confident in starting to plot graphs. This is based on an old Badger Task. This task is rather tricky and would probably be best for high ability KS3 and KS4. The graph plotting could be done on computers. This task is suitable for students at Grade 3-8 however I have removed these grades so that you can use the old or new grading system.

I have been through the specifications for the new AQA Science qualification covering Biology (8461), Chemistry (8462) and Physics (8463). This resource pack contains just the PHYSICS, but I have also posted the others too separately to make it easier for you to get just the part you need. All the attached resources are either AQA documents or my shortened version of them. I have converted the PDF specification into word documents so that they are easier to use and then extracted smaller parts from these specifications to make them easier to quickly reference. For the Biology, Chemistry and Physics I have extracted from the main specification the required mathematical skills for each science, and the new required practical's. For the required practical's I have made a shortened version to be used as a quick reference. For the other sciences click the links below: BIO https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/new-aqa-biology-2016-onwards-scheme-of-work-required-practials-and-maths-11339330 CHEM https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/new-aqa-chemistry-2016-onwards-scheme-of-work-required-practials-and-maths-11339898 PHYS https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/new-aqa-physics-2016-onwards-scheme-of-work-required-practicals-and-maths-11339902

I made this spread sheet for my department to help keep track of how well the current year 10s (leaving July 2017) do on their coursework that is due for submission March 2017.

This is a worksheet I made to help my students to practice the graphs skills required for the ISA controlled assessment, I've also included questions that regularly come up on paper two. This sheet has been done in the context of testing how temperature affects the viscosity of oils however this could easily be adapted to suit other investigations. I intend on uploading a mark scheme for this after I have delivered this lesson.

Just a quick spread sheet that shows each lesson title in each unit in AQA's new (accredited in 2016) courses for Biology (8461), Chemistry (8462)and Physics (8463). This could be used as a route through the GCSE used to inform planning, I actually made it to tick off the work covered so far so that whoever picks up my classes knows what they have already done. The required practical's are highlighted in orange. The triple science content is bordered in blue.

This is a newer unit that I have created from numerous resources, and includes: Rock Types- igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. The Rock Cycle Properties of materials metals and non-metals The Reactivity Series Displacement and reactions Extracting metals from their ores Matching materials to their properties. QM stands for Quality Mark which is a levelled formative assessment based on scientific skills and understanding of modelling concepts In the powerpoints I use: -Yellow boxes- to show the students what to write in their books. - Blue boxes- for tasks that the students should do.

This is an amalgamation of several TES resources I have collected over the years, I have combined them together to make a checklist for revising C2 additional chemistry that can be easily printed as a booklet (only 3 pages)

I spend hours and hours of time marking, and a lot of the time it's writing similar (if not the same) comments. For example.. -Please use capital letters at the start of sentences. -Do the highlighted tasks on the level ladder. -Please write in FULL sentences. -Stick in your graph. The list goes on... In order to save time and ink I thought I'd make a mail merge to mark the student's work for me! I've trialled this with 4 different classes and found it EXTREMELY useful! It has cut my marking time in at least half! I read the student's work, pick the comments that apply (or type new comments), print the comments on green paper ( our marking policy says marking must be in green ), get the students to stick it in and improve their work! BOOM! I've written a guide on how to use the resource and included some examples of it being used. This is the first time I've made and shared a resource like this, and it's safe to say it is definitely not perfect, I'm not an ICT expert and I expect ICT teachers will be able to improve this resource no end. I use it for science lessons but I think it should be easy to adapt for most subjects, especially those doing extended writing with clear criteria. I've found it quite useful for marking the 6 mark exam extended writing questions. I've added a few different sets of comments including graph work, descriptive work for science, and the science APP level descriptors So hopefully it'll be useful for someone other than just myself, please do send me feedback if you use this resource!
