These are question cards on Heat Transfers and include questions on conduction, convection, radiation, infra-red radiation, particle theory, kinetic theory, solids, liquids, gases, heat loss and more. These are made to go with the Science Revision Board Game I made which I use with KS3 and KS4 students to revise for their end of unit tests or exams. The board game and some sample question cards are freely available at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/science-revision-board-game-free-version-11445205 If the game board isn’t quite how you’d like it, or if you want your own question cards you could download my ‘Make Your Own Revision Board Game Resource Pack’ which can be purchased at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/make-your-own-revision-board-game-resource-pack-11445322 For the teacher, this is quick and easy revision activity that requires a one-time set up and then it can be used time and time again! Very little effort is required by you and the students can happily spend all lesson playing the game (if you let them) leaving you free to do what you fancy! My students love it and I get chance to sit down with the students who need extra help, or catch up on a bit of marking. To get started: • Print the board game on white A3 paper. • Print the question cards on blue paper/card, cut them up and pop them in little bags. • Print the hazard cards on yellow paper/card, cut them up and pop them in little bags. • Laminate the board game (optional but makes the game last longer) • Get a little stash of counters or items that could be used as the player pieces e.g. coloured paper circles, novelty rubbers, little model etc • Get some dice. For a class of 30 I’ve found that 6 groups of 5 work quite well, therefore you’d need 6 game boards and 6 packs of cards. For each unit taught I’ve made my own quiz cards so the students can test themselves on the unit content, I have quite a few different units which I am in the processing of uploading to TES now. Keep your eyes peeled for the bundles I am putting together.

This is the full resource pack for an assessment for KS4 GCSE students who are studying titration techniques, reactions between acids and alkalis, quantitative chemistry, uses of indicators and scientific methodology. This resource pack comes with several parts; 1.Word document containing a suggested lesson plan for this assessment. PowerPoint presentation for the students to introduce the task, it contains a fill in the blank version of the method. PowerPoint presentation for the teacher to introduce the task, containing the full method, and extra tips that will increase the validity and accuracy of the results. Excel spreadsheet that can be used to automatically generate extended written feedback including improvement strategies for the teacher to give the students. A guide on how to use this resource can be freely accessed at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/the-automarker-11191496 This task was designed for AQA Chemistry (triple science students) it is suitable for students at Grade 4-9 however you may want to check that it is included on your specification (it is not on AQA Combine Science: Trilogy).

I spend hours and hours of time marking, and a lot of the time it's writing similar (if not the same) comments. For example.. -Please use capital letters at the start of sentences. -Do the highlighted tasks on the level ladder. -Please write in FULL sentences. -Stick in your graph. The list goes on... In order to save time and ink I thought I'd make a mail merge to mark the student's work for me! I've trialled this with 4 different classes and found it EXTREMELY useful! It has cut my marking time in at least half! I read the student's work, pick the comments that apply (or type new comments), print the comments on green paper ( our marking policy says marking must be in green ), get the students to stick it in and improve their work! BOOM! I've written a guide on how to use the resource and included some examples of it being used. This is the first time I've made and shared a resource like this, and it's safe to say it is definitely not perfect, I'm not an ICT expert and I expect ICT teachers will be able to improve this resource no end. I use it for science lessons but I think it should be easy to adapt for most subjects, especially those doing extended writing with clear criteria. I've found it quite useful for marking the 6 mark exam extended writing questions. I've added a few different sets of comments including graph work, descriptive work for science, and the science APP level descriptors So hopefully it'll be useful for someone other than just myself, please do send me feedback if you use this resource!

Word document printout writing frame to assist students who may benefit from additional help with this task. 7. JPEG images showing a several hand-drawn versions of the graph, this may also be useful for students who aren't confident in starting to plot graphs. I've included sketches of the extrapolation of the data from the line of best fit, and highlighted the anomalous result. This involves the students plotting some given results on a graph, identifying variables, extrapolation from a line of best fit and evaluating their work. This task is suitable for KS3 students at level 3-7, however this could be adapted for KS4 students.
