This is a KS4 AQA Physics GCSE revision set of worksheets which aims to reinforce what the students have done, through questions, calculations and written planning. It is used after the practical to check students understanding as a plenary/revision/homework sheet. It contains all the Physics Required Practicals in pdf form: Specific Heat Capacity, Force and Extension, Acceleration, Waves, Density, I V Characteristics, Light, Radiation and Absorption, Resistance and Thermal Insulation. This has been updated (now with grades on the sheet so you can see the demand of each individual question) with model answers.

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 list of 9-1 GCSE grade descriptors based on the type of question that is being asked. It can be used to assess a students understanding by looking at what type of question a student can answer. It is in order of grades and is divided into the main areas that questions are based on: The grade descriptors are 1. Diagrams or Symbols, 2. Uses-Real world or Scientific, 3. Interpreting Data from a Table, Graph or Diagram, 4. Variables, Required Practicals and Working Scientifically, 5. Science Knowledge, Ideas, Models, 6. Science Processes-Recognising, Explaining, Understanding or Applying and 7. Calculations. I have used these to produce a revision sheet for Periodic Table and Atoms from the latest AQA paper. Click here for a free download: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/periodic-table-and-atomic-structure-9-1-grade-descriptor-revision-12231830 I have also produced a more detailed breakdown how the grades link to questions on the 2019 AQA Chemistry Paper (paid resource) here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/grade-descriptor-for-all-chemistry-topics-aqa-12235088 Please comment if you have found this useful.

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.

This is a reward questionnaire to ask students the best way to reward them in the classroom. The second sheet can be used generically so that students delete from their sheet the rewards that they don’t need or like.

Updated with answers. This resource is aimed at KS3, but can be used with KS4 (and some KS2). It asks about key phrases and whether they are true or not in all or just some situations. This can be done as a whole class with white boards, or printed on sheets (on desks or around the room) and students add a tick on to show their opinion. It can also be fond as part of a Misconceptions in Science CPD package at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/science-misconceptions-cpd-12237121 I have now produced my first overcoming misconceptions lesson, it can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/overcoming-forces-misconception-of-normal-and-newton-s-3rd-law-lesson-12210726 For more free and paid for resources please check out my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Please comment.
