This activity introduces the concept of electricity generation, then students research the main methods. Worksheets, fact sheets and model answers included, along with an extra question pack.

Two practice papers (31 and 34 marks) which can be used to prepare students for the exam. I've tried to anticipate the sort of questions which will come up, based on previous papers. I normally manage to guess quite a few. Mark schemes also included. Any feedback is appreciated - thank you and good luck.

This scheme of work is designed to prepare students for the new science GCSE courses (first exams 2018). It will bridge the gap between key stages 3 and 4 by introducing some of the fundamental concepts in the biology course. The emphasis is on developing numeracy, literacy and practical skills through engaging activities rather than focusing on content which they will learn at GCSE. There are eight lessons, although each one includes a practical activity and can be taught over two lessons. The topics are: 1. Size and scale 2. Surface area and volume 3. Diffusion 4. Respiration 5. Food energy 6. Nervous system 8. Natural Selection The resources include - a scheme of work outlining each lesson and practical activity - PowerPoint presentations for each lesson - editable worksheets to support student learning - technician requirements
