This resources consists of photographs and exam style questions with a completed graphic organiser helpsheet. This is aimed at AQA students to encourage them to practice exam style questions on required practicals anytime during the lesson. The questions are specifically generic so they can be asked about almost any of the practicals and consequently they do not need to go next to any particular one, producing over 400 combinations of questions with images. The questions are colour coded for different levels with Red-Hard, Orange-Medium and Green-Easier (one could say differentiated, but one would be stretching the truth). Also included is the required practical placemat (worth a whole £1!) to help your students answer the questions on the display. Suggestions for Activities: I generally sit my students round the display and then ask them to chose a question and I (or another student) choose a practical or vice versa. Then we discuss the answer as a class or nominate another student or practical or question, (or stick them round my board and let the display soak into their minds through osmosis / diffusion or ask a question as a plenary) The set of images and questions can be printed smaller and students and given to groups of students who turn them face down and turn two over, an image and a question, which they then answer. This game works well and makes the question and required practical more random (like the exam). Font size is set at 80 pt so that it can be seen at about 10 feet away (Approx 72 pt per 10 ft of distance is the rule) I hope you find this resource useful Thank you for reading this far.

This a Chemistry resource aimed at KS4 (and upper KS3) with 6 different concept maps for students to complete. It includes 1. Atoms, Elements, 2.Development of the Atom, 3. Development of Periodic Table and 4. Groups 7 and 0, 5. Group 1 and Transition Metals and 6. Mass, size and Electronic Structure. Check out a free one (Development of the Atom) to try before you consider buying the full resource at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/development-of-a-model-of-the-atom-concept-mapping-worksheet-12191441 It gives students incomplete concept maps for them to complete and complete ones to check against. The complete ones have images to aid memory. It is based on AQA but can be used by other boards. It can be used in 1 lesson, but is better over a series of revision lessons, given as a graphic organiser, homework or as a plenary. The resource contains sheets for more or less able and answer sheets for students to peer or self assess.

This booklet covers the Ecology topic at KS4, but maybe suitable for some KS3. It contains 15 pages where on each page is a keyword and definition, an image, example and some simple questions and a simple extension question. It also contains a Power Point which circles key points to show the students where to look in their booklets and help them understand the ideas and processes. Also included are two interactive activities, one on population changes in an ecosystem and one on land use and effects on food production. These activities are simple, but challenge the student to give reasons for their choices. This booklet also has project activities on each page for students to work on home at. All the information is there in the booklet so that at the end they have a complete booklet to take home and hopefully revise from. To see if this resource is for you, i have produced a free booklet on infection and response (with a focus on the Corona Virus) here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/infection-and-response-to-the-corona-virus-covid-19-booklet-12270746 Other booklets are available in my shop (see link below) Please check out my shop for more free and paid resources: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Thank you.

Please find most of the resources I have been making for the last 3-4 years. I hope you find them useful. They are mainly based on Mounce’s Greek and Van Pelt’s Hebrew, but can be used with any of the books out there. Please comment if you find these useful. Thank you.

This lesson is used to introduce Physics equations to students. It explains where they come from, how we use them, how to convert the equation into a triangle, so that it can be rearranged. It includes a sheet where equations can be added and analysed when they come across a new one. The worksheet can be stuck in their book and new ones added in when you come across them or used as revision activity. This will allow them to think about it before they use it. Enjoy! Please comment.
