This resource contains a 30+ page Power Point (and pdf ) to guide students through the new Hazard symbols, their names, hazards and controls (precautions) that are needed in each case. Students have three tasks, a sorting activity, a memory activity and a longer activity which aims for them to think about the hazards, risks and more importantly the controls that need to be put into place to perform the practical safely. The activity contains: Four “fake” chemical Hazcard sheets Four Scenarios to challenge their thinking Posters of the new Hazard symbols with information on each Miniplenary to test knowledge gained. The free poster of the new hazard symbols can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/new-hazard-symbols-meanings-with-examples-for-lab-safety-12266717 Please check out my shop for more free (and paid) resources: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Thank you

This KS4 resource contains worksheet questions (and answers) for all the Physics Required Practicals with each individual exam style 9-1 graded questions. It employs a lot of Maths, AQA working scientifically and AQA style exam questions with model answers. It is normally used at the end of the practical as a test/check of the students understanding, but can also be used as a revision/homework activity. It can also be used as a cover lesson (with answers). Students can also peer/self assess with the answer sheets and also indicate which part they found most difficult on the top right of the paper so that the teacher can flick through and see what needs covering again. It contains: Specific Heat Capacity, Thermal insulation, Resistance, I-V characteristics, Density. Light, Force and Extension, Acceleration, Waves in a solid and Waves in a liquid and Radiation and Absorption.

This updated Biology resource now has individual 9-1 graded exam style questions to assess students levels. It is used with KS4 and is designed to ask questions on Working Scientifically and the Maths calculations that are involved. These exam style questions with model answers are adapted from AQA past papers. They are normally used post practical as assessment / revision / homework, but can be used during as well or a cover lesson. This contains all the Required Practicals in Biology in one place: Osmosis, Decay, Enzymes, Field Investigations, Food Tests, Microbiology, Photosynthesis, Plant Response and Reaction Times. It also includes the Required Practical Graphic Orgainser helpsheet (worth £1) that will help the students answer the questions in these resources. Each required practical resource comes as a 5 Power Point slide to project in lessons and a PDF version for printing. It has two sheets of questions and two sheets of answers allowing for students to self or peer assess. On the top right hand corner of the sheet the students can identify areas where they need to improve so that teachers can easily see which section they are having trouble with. Each sheet assesses students skills including interpreting the data, calculations, remembering the Health and Safety and suggesting ways of improving the experiment. Key concepts covered are types of error and rarer ones such as validity, reproducibility and repeatability. Each question slide has Blooms Style Learning Objectives for whole class focused learning.

This is a fun but educational Firework / Bonfire night resource aimed at KS3 and KS4, which teaches safety, flame tests, flame emission spectroscopy, energy stores, data handling and wavelength drawing. The lesson lasts approx 1 hour, longer if you do all the activities. It’s fun but educational. It contains: Technicians Notes/Ordering/Links to Hazcards Lesson Plan Answers to questions for self/peer marking. Student method and results table sheet Learning Objectives-related to the specification (just in case management suspect you are having fun for no good reason). (KS3/4) Safety Activity-Students are asked to suggest the precautions that need to be taken when carrying out this practical. (KS3) Practical-Simple flame test of 6 metal solutions (KS3/4) with method sheet and questions Energy Stores-Students have a fill in the gaps and a list of the energy stores to help them (KS4) Flame Emission Spectroscopy-This is a lining up activity, where students need to recognise which line is which metal. Asking the students to label each line with a letter to prove it (KS3/4) Waves-This simple activity asks them to judge the wavelength of waves to show the colour (KS3/4) Data-This activity is to test their evaluation skills using data on the metal salts they have just used and their inclusion in a firework.(KS3/4) Please check out my shop with free and paid resources at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Thank you and enjoy.

Update: Lowered the price if you have to teach this topic at this time This resource of the different electrical models has moving parts to show the students how the model works if they were to see it in real life. It talks about the sweets/matches model, water models (radiator/waterfall), delivery model (coal to Power station) and the ball bearing (chains/rope/dominoes) model and now the Traffic in a City Model. Each model has an animation and asks the students what each part represents and how they can adapt the model to show series/parallel or higher voltage. I have added a worksheet on each model so that students can evaluate each model on how good it is. A master worksheet for adding your own model and a sheet for students to come up with their own model to help their understanding. If you want an animation that shows what happens in a circuit that I made for free (so you can see how bad (or good) my animation skills in powerpoint are, click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/understanding-electricity-voltage-and-current-12450133 For more resources free (and paid), check out my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Please comment if you have found this resource useful.

This resource is a booklet with lists of misconceptions, strategies for overcoming them, and quizzes for ascertaining main misconceptions in Forces, Electricity etc. Update: Want to test how many Christmas misconceptions your students have? Try this new free quiz here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/christmas-quiz-free-misconceptions-12448241 It is research based, but written in a practical way and focuses on the use of models, analogies, CASE, interviewing and other strategies. The most useful part I believe is the lists of misconceptions and a comprehensive index of keywords to help you find the common misconception for that topic/keyword. Thank you for making it is one of my most downloaded resources.

This is a GCSE Physics resource for KS3 and KS4. It follows the new AQA Science course. It encourages students to think about the power equation. The practical invites them to calculate if they are more powerful than a kettle by planning a practical and testing it out. Let the students find out if they are more powerful than a kettle, by looking at the Power rating on a kettle and then timing themselves (one at a time) running up a set of stairs. You will find that if you have a high mass (like me) you are more powerful then the students who can run up fast, but not in half the time. They will find out they are not quite as powerful as a kettle and they enjoyed the chance of being able to “run” when they are not normally allowed to do this.
