A sheet covering the main topics of the new radioactivity topic for AQA.

Learning outcome checklists created from new specifications. I will add more as I make them.

A sheet covering the main topics in the new AQA C1 unit

This is an ICT based investigation using Multimedia Science School (http://mss.lgfl.org.uk/BL612/ls.html) - ignore the comment below, you don't need a username. Students record results on the Word document and can do data analysis on the Excel document.

A websheet to support student research into metal extraction. Upload this to your VLE and students complete and print for their notes. They need to press ctrl and click the links to open the websites.

This is a homework or independent research task where students use the website given to locate the information. It summarises properties of diamond and graphite, and included fullerene and nanoparticles.

This is aimed at edexcel A level biology but may be relevant to other boards/subjects. I've taken common command words from exams and have attempted to explain their meaning through this activity.

This lesson covers heat transfer and insulating through investigating the construction of the water polo arena.

Students arrange the cards on the template (print on A3) - there are some extras to make it a bit harder.

This sheet is completed on computer. Students open the document and complete the sheet. Press ctrl and click on the links to open the websites.

Instead of drawing hundreds of electrons, this resource presents the electron arrangements for the first 20 elements which students first identify, then arrange onto their periodic table. Much neater, and less chance of mistakes. Print out SINGLE SIDED so students can cut out the cards on page 1 and arrange them into the periodic table on page 2.

I adapted this from another TES resource - I added some blanks for students to fill in and edited to reflect our C1a unit.

This activity uses the Edexcel examiners report to help develop exam technique. In pairs, students should be given a copy of the June 2015 exam paper and markscheme, and the activity sheets. They should go through the sample answers, and decide how many marks to award each one. The ppt should be used to show students what the examiners decided. Examiners' tips and commentary are also highlighted

A useful starter for B4 created for an interview lesson (hence the AfL) - how scientists' ideas about photosynthesis have developed. Get three students to read the pieces about each scientist and the class fill in their sheets after each one.

Starter or plenary comparing different methods of transport. Answers included on separate sheet

The first page is a worksheet for students. The other pages are for research - print out a few copies which students can pass round and complete the relevant rows on their table.

A worksheet for students to practice drawing ionic bonds

Posters can be printed and arranged around the classroom. Students get a copy of the worksheet and move around the classroom working independently. A perfect hangover lesson ;-)

A worksheet to practice drawing simple covalent molecules

A worksheet covering the structure and properties of diamond and graphite
