Distance Time Graph Velocity Time Graph short Formative Assessment Comparison

(1)
This a short formative assessment task designed to be a short task and also quick to mark. This is a great resource to make the student reflect and for you to assess their understanding of distance time graphs and velocity time graphs. Its also good to spot the errors and misconceptions which might because DT and VT graphs are similar. All you need to do is highlight the areas that you think your student needs to improve upon. This can also be used as a good Home work activity.

This lesson is all about how scale, units and standard form is used in Science. It uses ideas from microscopy, atoms and space and gets students to think about how scale, units and standard form can be used in science. The lesson is primarily used to prepare year 9’s for GCSE just before they start GCSE content. However it can be used for years 8 - year 11. Grades 2 - 8. Includes handouts, worksheets, differentiation, model answers, starter and plenary. The lesson is a two parter if the task on the solar system is completed. The lesson is designed to be engaging and interesting, incorporating many key ideas in science: the atom, solar system, microscopy, ways to go to calculate one unit to another. I can recognise what some science and mathematical prefixes are and appreciate scale I can describe how convert one unit into another for example metres to nanometres. I can explain how to convert numbers up (including in unfamiliar situations) and use standard form.

This is an effective way show students how to approach and write 6 mark questions. These work very well along side my more structured 6 mark template approach - which is not sold as part of this set. Students love these. This resource is a designed to be quick to set up (with exam pro or existing 6 mark questions), aid the student on how to structure there answer, write in feedback, from which they can then write an excellent response to the question. You will need to add in the 6 mark question of choice (paste it in). It consists of three slides. the first one is the student copy. step 1) Students do not write in the answer but write in the ideas and connectives that will them answer. Step 2) from exampro, the ideas or statements from the 6 mark answer will be in the ideas box. Students write in feedback and corrections in green. Step 3) students then write the answer. Give a time limit. Step 4) mark and give back feedback. I found this to be really powerful, particularly in step 2 with the metacognitive phase. I have thrown in an example to show you how to do it.

Students find writing and expressing Science ideas hard. This an easy to refer to (tried and tested) guide for students. This is a resource that shows students how to write and break down a sentence when expressing a science idea at different levels and grades. This resource uses models of science sentences to do that, and its presented in a way that can be stuck in a glued in student books at the start of the year and then referred to. My student have found this invaluable and I also got in the habit of referring to it to help students. On this is also a guide to the written skills and the grades that the written grade for science might gain. This makes it a valuable reference sheet for KS3 and KS4.

This is designed for students completing GCSE and specifically aim at students who need extra support. So from the low ability groups to mid ability groups. Grades 1 - 6. These work well along side my less structured 6 mark templates for the higher ability groups which focus on what they know and how they are going to use that information. This resource is a designed to be quick to set up (with exam pro or existing 6 mark questions - paste them into the template), aid the student on how to structure there answer, write in feedback, from which they can then write an excellent response to the question. They also work along side a metacognitive approach. Students do not answer the questions yet! Students will need there ppt printed out but both slides on one sheet. This makes it easier to trim down and glue in books as a piece of formative assessment and also as a task on one side. My students love these. Instructions are on the ppt. 1.When showing this on the board, go through the tasks that need to be completed once they have read the question. 2. Students will need to then go through the tasks on their sheet and tick when completed. This will mimic how students should break down a long style (6 mark) answer. 3. Discuss what the students have come up with – if possible write down there ideas on the board on the ppt. 3. Then show ideas once they have completed the table on their sheet.

Physics Keyword Homework and Formative Assessment Sheets (AQA P1)

(0)
These resources are designed to help students develop knowledge of what the keywords in Physics means and get them to practice independence (research) skills to find out what they mean. These resources are designed to act as homework sheets, which can easily be printed off on A4 and then easily marked in class. They can also be used as research formative assessment sheets in class. These sheets are designed in a format which can quickly and easily be further differentiated depending on group and needs of the group. Each sheet has model answers which can be shown in class and students can write in instant feedback. Topics included are: Energy, Particle model matter, Atomic Structure and Radiation, Electricity. These topics and word sheets are specifically aimed at the AQA GCSE course P1, however they cross over easily into other specifications. My classes have really appreciated them, especially those classes who find it hard managing the amount of jargon needed to be understood in Physics. These students also found it reassuring partcularly when physics got too mathsy or abstract for them.

These cards are designed to be specifically used in Science but can quickly and easily be adapted for any subject. One set is for Low ability and another set for high ability. This task is designed to reinforce, consolidate, challenge and get students to think more deeply about ideas. These question cards are based on blooms. The resource is colourful and engaging (small) pack of cards with question prompts (sentence starters) that will prompt another students to ask another student insightful questions based on information that the teacher has given them. Each card has 5 question starters approx. Each card has a point score so students can get competitive and score themselves. There is a task slide to slide for lessons or that can be easily slotted into ppt. Each slide is one set of cards with the exception of the LA cards, one slide is two sets. One pack is for low to mid ability and one pack is for Mid to High ability. This is a great way to get students to look back at work to develop, think and extend there understanding. My students really enjoyed this resource and progressed as a result. These cards are good at developing critical thinking and when used over a period of time, great confidence and oral skills within the subject. Top tip! I would ask students to read key parts of lesson material or paragraphs first so students can easily locate the information they need to ask other student questions.
