This is the UPDATED powerpoints, worksheets and TDA’s for the AQA Entry Level Certificate in Science Component 6 - Electricity, Magnetism and Waves. It includes powerpoints, worksheets and TDA’s as a start to help with planning for the following topics: Electrical Current -Electrical current, types of current Domestic Electricity -wiring a plug, fuses and earth wires, transferring energy Magnetism and electromagnetism - Magnetic fields, Magnetic fields around a current, electromagnets Different types of waves - Longitudinal and transverse waves, properties of waves, electromagnetic waves

This is all the resources I created for the TDA element of AQA ELC double science. It includes powerpoints for each TDA for component 1,2,3, 4, 5 and 6, which includes a method card sort. It also includes 2 versions of the TDA record sheet - a lower ability and medium ability version. There is also a powerpoint to be used to teach variables and also graph work.

This is a series of 10 question recall tests for use at the start or end of a lesson. This presentation includes quizzes on enzymes, enzymes action, enzymes in action and transporting substances. At the end of each quiz is a slide with just the questions on so that they can be printed off and handed out to students as a starter whilst you do the register. The presentation then goes through each questions with the answer so that students can self assess. Alternatively it can be done as a plenary and you can rapid fire targeted questions just using the presentation.

This is the fifth lesson in a series of 6 lessons to introduce year 7 to Science. This lesson is titled ‘Investigations’ and allows students to undertake an investigation early in the year. I have included an investiagtion title page for Y7,8,9,10 and 11 ( please look in the notes section at the bottom of the powerpoint to find out which is most suitable) . I have not included many details of the investigations as the point is for the students to do this for themselves. This may take 2 lessons depending upon the ability of the students in the class. The presentation should be self explanatory . The next lesson is ‘Drawing graphs’

OCR AS Oxidation numbers presentation and associated worksheets used in the presentation. I get the students to print off the oxidation rules and laminate them for reference in their files rather than continually turning back. Thanks for looking.

This is a stand alone presentation I use for after school revision throughout the year to show students how to approach calculations involving moles. The slides can be adapted or quantities changed each week so that students practice new problems each time.

A lesson on Global Warming for year 8. Also included is the student mat and placemat. This was designed for an interview lesson to reduce the need for using books. It was rated as an outstanding lesson.

Edexcel CC7a Molecular Compounds. This presentation explores properties of simple molecular compounds and explores polymers, their properties and how to name and draw them.

Edexcel CC4b Atomic Number and the Periodic Table. This presentation explores how the elements are arranged in the modern Periodic table and pair reversals. It also includes a worksheet.

Edexcel CC1 Chemistry States of Matter. This is the first lesson following Chemistry from Edexcel. 2 worksheets are included with this presentation. This presentation takes a brief look at identifying the 3 common states of matter, drawing particle diagrams, working out how to predict the state of matter based upon melting point and boiling point data and naming the processes involved in changing state. There is also the opportunity for a practical based on cooling curves.

This introduces resistance, Ohms law and characteristics of components when drawing current-voltage graphs. It includes how to: Describe resistance Calculate resistance using Ohms law Explain the current-voltage characteristics of a bulb, resistor and a diode

This is a powerpoint I use at the start of year 8 to familiarise students with some of the maths skills they will need including rounding with decimal places, rounding with significant figures and using standard form. This sits nicely with my other year 8 powerpoint about the scientific method and results and graphs.

Edexcel CC3 Chemistry Atomic Structure. This is the first in a series of 3 lessons following CC3 from Edexcel. 2 differentiated worksheets are included with this presentation. This presentation takes a brief look through how the idea of an atom developed over time and uses The Atoms Family ( a set of 3 cartoons I drew to represent the proton, electron and neutron) and helps students remember the properties of each subatomic particle. Penny the proton is positive, Ned the neutron is neutral and Elvis the electron is nEgative ( alliteration!)

Edexcel CC3b Ar and Mr calculations. This presentation introduces the mass number and atomic number and allows students to practice calculating the number of protons, electrons and neutrons from these numbers. With the higher students if time allows you can introduce the relative atomic mass and relative formula mass also.These are 2 differentiated worksheets to go with this lesson included.

Edexcel CC3c Isotopes. This presentation introduces isotopes and how chemical properties are the same but physical properties are different based on electronic structure. It also takes higher students through calculations on using relative abundance of isotopes to work out relative atomic mass. 2 differentiated worksheets are included.

This is a series of 12 lessons for the first chemistry unit of AQA Chemistry Combined science. It includes powerpoints and differentiated worksheets for the following lessons: Atoms, elements and compounds Atomic mass Isotopes Writing Equations Mixtures Filtration and crystallisation Distillation Chromatography Electronic structure The early Periodic Table The Modern Periodic Table Groups and trends

This is a series of 10 question recall tests for use at the start or end of a lesson. This presentation includes quizzes on states of matter and mixtures. At the end of each quiz is a slide with just the questions on so that they can be printed off and handed out to students as a starter whilst you do the register. The presentation then goes through each questions with the answer so that students can self assess. Alternatively it can be done as a plenary and you can rapid fire targeted questions just using the presentation.
