A Checklist for A Level success, most relevant to those studying OCR A Biology, Chemistry or Physics. (The links are to OCR resources and answers) I have 9 years experience teaching the A Level and my colleague has over 30 - together we have noticed and written down the most effective ways for science students to revise and see the fastest and biggest improvement in their grades. This information is provided in a student-friendly checklist format :)

AS Module 2 Revision Board Game on bonding, structure, properties, shape, electronegativity and polarity. Students really enjoyed playing this game and it was an excellent way to revise. Teacher will need: scissors, printer, card or a laminator (so the playing cards last), counters (1 per student), dice (1 per group). Included: cards for 1, 2 and 3 point questions with Qs and As blank versions of cards for 1, 2 and 3 point questions so you can adapt/write your own board game About: This is a learner-led revision activity. Recommended group size per board game: 4 Estimated time to complete game based on this group size: 50min - 1 hour (based on experience and length of student engagement). Game can be any length of time as winning is based on number of points rather than reaching the end of the board. Rules: Class to be split into roughly groups of 4 Each group to be given 1 board game mat, 4 counters, 1 dice and a set of 1, 2 and 3 point Q cards. They also need scrap paper and pens/pencils for working out Each group can either nominate a reader for the Q cards or they may take it in turns to read. #bondingstructureproperties #ASChemistryrevisiongame #Chemistryrevision #VSEPRrevision
