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 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.
