I am a secondary school GCSE & A-level Science teacher, specialising in Biology and Physics. My resources are designed to be interesting, engaging and motivating. All content which are lessons, include: a framework to deliver content; questioning opportunities; assessment; a range of activities to suit students of all abilities; differentiation in most points of the lesson; challenging questions (for all levels) with model answers; and of course starters and plenaries.

6 Generic Home Work Science Activities

(0)
These home works are designed to be quick to organise and easy to mark, without sacrificing the quality of the home work for the students. All you need to do is add the information required for the home work activity. The instructions are differentiated by outcome and they too can be modified depending on the task. These are quick to edit, upload and print out. My students love these. Marking them is quick. Highlight in one colour the task which is a WWW and in another colour an EBI. I always try and give a sentence or two that is specific to the student. This makes it easier to hand the home work back quickly and for the students to respond to their feedback.

Momentum lesson. Calculating momentum.

(0)
This is a lesson with differentiated resources. This is designed for those departments who may not have enough equipment or need to have lessons purely focused on calculations. This is aimed at all abilities. The lesson does have a metacognitive edge. starter students will read the cartoon strip. 3 mins. Teacher will spend a good amount of time using targeted questioning stemming from the differentiated questions. Write key words on board Introduce lessons. Write down the writing in purple in books. Model calculation. Students then check understanding with whiteboard examples. You assess and give feedback. Students make mental not of score. Score then give the students an idea of what point to start on differentiated sheets. Students have 5 mins to work out in pairs how what is being asked and then have an approach. Students complete the questions. students go through answers.

This lesson is aimed at GCSE students graded 2 to 7. It is has a focus on collaboration/discussion with practical work. The practical is based on the card, glass and penny trick. Objectives. I can define newtons first law and calculate resultant force. I can describe newton’s first law of motion in objects and link ideas of resultant force. I can explain how inertia law applies to non familiar contexts and answer exam style questions on this. Quick quiz starter Definition and task encouraging students to think about it. Practical and paired/group task. Differentiated sheets on the PPT to print out. Model answers for task. Assessment. True or False with answers. Assessment will then dictate the questions students complete consequently differentiated. Questions with model answers. Plenary.

KS3 and KS4. Presentation Research Homework and flipped learning resources.

(0)
These resources sheets (A5) are designed to cover the objectives of a lesson. They are designed to make students focus on specific reliable supported resources that will help them develop there understanding whilst they are preparing for future tasks. They are aimed specifically at all KS3 students but can very much be used for low to middle ability kS4 students. They can be used to prepare students prior to a lesson which can then allow you to go deeper into a subject. They help support students if they are completing presentations, good home based distance learning resources. Each resource has links to written and youtube sources. Each resource has differentiated objectives (by outcome), each resource has suggestions on how they could be used to present, mentor and deliver the content they have learned. These resources are covered: current and charge; endo and exothermic reactions; exam question technique; forces; photosynthesis; interdependence; graph skills; reactivity series and displacement; respiration; voltage and resistance. The ppt slides will need to be scaled to fit.

Specific Heat Capacity Lesson. Differentiated WS. Model answers. Practical. Assessment.

(0)
This a complete GCSE Specific Heat Capacity (SHC) lesson. It has key opportunities for assessment, metacognition when going through the calculation. All examples of calculations have model answers for green pen corrections. The practical is the standard SHC practical with a block and an immersion heater, then using the results to calculate SHC. The main worksheet is differentiated by the points that students start at, which is assessed by a true and false quiz based on objectives. The worksheet has model answers for green pen corrections. This is either a slow paced two part lesson (1 - six) or a high paced lesson (for a students grades 5 - 9). My students loved it

One Page trilogy checklist containing P1 and P2 material. Simple list of lessons within topics. Student friendly. Designed for students based on feedback from them. My students love these. It has Higher content indicated and it also has required practicals on it as well. Great to go in a students book or to go onto something like show my homework. Good for parents as well.

This checklist has a simple list of lessons within topics with the corresponding required practicals that are needed to be known. This is designed to be glued in front of books, for parents, for students who want to revise at home. This was designed based on feedback from my students who wanted simple checklists instead of large cumbersome I can ones. They love this.

AQA PHYSICS Trilogy P1 (11) Mini Formative Assessments or Homework tasks

(0)
P1 Physics (trilogy) AQA low stakes formative assessments. 11 tasks. Designed so they can be placed every 6/7 lessons in Physics GCSE topic Units. This fits most school marking policies that place an emphasis on formative assessment. These assessments have been designed for Low stakes - High Impact. There is an emphasis on thinking and planning which is great for metacognition. These are designed to allow students to give quality answers but also be relatively quick to mark. These are also designed to be used for home work as well. In fact that is where they developed from. Each task has related pictures/tasks on the left and three differentiated (by outcome) tasks. This has been based on blooms/IDEALS using command words like define, describe, explain, compare, evaluate etc. They have also been designed to with word limits to make them more challenging and focus on concise quality. Plus, this means less to mark. A class set takes me 30 mins - 1 hour to mark depending on ability. Usually 40 mins. I tended to use colour coded highlighters on task sheet and in the WWW and EBI, with a statement or two. Each assessment has a task slide and a statement box slide. Photocopy both to go on one sheet and it becomes an A4 sheet that can easily be transported, written on and glued in student excercise books. This is useful if your school likes coloured paper to highlight marked work in books. Names of assessments: Energy transfers and pathways, KE GPE and EPE, Renewable and Non renewable, static electricity and charge, components current and circuit rules, electrical resistance and IV graphs, Plugs alternating and direct current, states of matter and internal energy, particles and pressure, the atom and evidence for it, radiation types and decay. Once my students got in the pattern of completing these, they loved them because it took them less time to complete.

Electricity Intro Grade 1 - 7. Differentiated. Lots of Assessment & Modelling. Card Sort. Info hunt.

(0)
This lesson is designed to be a guided intro (metacognition and modeling) to electricity so that students gain confidence on the practical skills before going into detail on electricity as a whole. This is aimed at KS4 but can be used at KS3. This lesson will cover: circuit symbols; drawing circuits properly; and building circuits from diagrams and text. This can be done as one fast paced lesson or a two parter. For students grade 1-5. This lesson is a two parter and anything higher one lesson. I have always found, of this lesson is completed well, teaching electricity is always slightly easier and student confidence with circuits is better. The lesson comes with differentiated resources, card sorts and enough material for an information hunt (as an alternative to the card sort or as supporting material) Objectives: I can state what some of the keywords are for the unit electricity. I can identify circuit symbols of components, describe what many do and draw simple circuit diagrams I can draw series and parallel circuits and build these circuits from circuit diagrams Lesson structure. Starter. Do it now style task. Lesson intro. Card sort or information hunt. (differentiated) Modeling circuit diagrams. (metacogntion: Me (teacher), Us, you) Building circuits (differentiated task) Plenary
