I am a chemistry teacher, I spend lots of time making resources and decided to share them here on TES. Most are free or have free sample versions, but the best and most detailed ones that I'm particular proud of I sell for around £2-£5.

This is the free version of an assessment for KS3 students who are studying cells, organelles, body structure, organ systems, and adaptations.
I have also produced a resource pack available to purchase from TES at
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/model-cells-quality-mark-assessment-full-resource-pack-11350637
This 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, I’ve also included an old version of this sheet that I don’t use anymore.
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. 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…

5. JPEG images showing examples of models made by my previous classes when given this task, I've included a range of examples including an extremely high level project from the child of a professional cake maker!
This task is suitable for students at level 3-7.
When I have used this in lessons students have made some truly remarkable work but using cardboard, beads, Lego, plastercine, and cake!
If you are doing an extended investigation with KS3 science students you could use these level ladders to give your students a level on their write up.
I tend to use these sheets in lesson to get the students self assess or peer assess their own work.
These are the resources for Chemistry unit C1.1 on atomic structure, electron structure, the periodic table, reactivity and ions.
QM stands for Quality Mark which is a levelled formative assessment based on scientific skills.
HA= high ability
LA= low ability
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.
I do not own all of the content in these resources, no copyright is intended, any offending resources will be removed.
These are the resources for a unit on the states of matter, separation techniques and particle theory.
