I have made this resource for my school’s alternative curriculum facility at the request of our Deputy Headteacher. They wanted a unit of work for students who had been sent out of lessons for a longer period of time which was separate from work being covered in class, as managing the former system was getting tricky. I decided to make a Working Scientifically resources which could be completed independently, but that would also double as a revision resources for students or a teaching resource for lesson time. The workbook covers: Introduction (which incorporates a skills checklist and the list of the AQA Required Practical Activities) Key Words Identifying Variables Hypotheses and Predictions Apparatus and Techniques Methods Risk Assessments Tables of Results Types of Data, Graphs and Charts Presenting Data Evaluation Peer Review Referencing Conclusions I hope that you will find this resources useful. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for improving the workbook! :)

Set of 88 flashcards covering scientific methodology/general practical skills. Suitable for all exam boards. Covers topics such as: Different types of variable Accuracy / precision / repeatability etc Uncertainty Range / standard deviation Choice of statistical test Choice of graph Basic practical skills such as scientific drawing rules, eye piece graticule calibration etc There is some ambiguity when it comes to mark schemes on questions such as accuracy/precision - with different exam boards sometimes having slightly different answers. I have tried to include the most appropriate answer on the flashcards. This download is the same as the Module 1 OCR A-level Biology flashcards.

Lesson for the OCR Level 3 Alternative Academic Qualification in Applied Science all about writing a scientific report. Covers content from the F182 unit ‘Investigating Science’, Section 5: Present and review your investigation.

This poster is a child friendly version of the Working Scientifically skills that the children should be using and engaging with in their primary science lessons. This poster is made to be stuck at the front of the children’s science books and in the classroom on working displays. The poster has also been broken down into the individual sections and the icons so that they can be used on PowerPoints/matching sheets so that the children can see what skills they are using.

I use this working scientifically resource as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry course to help students identify independent, dependent, and control variables for different scientific investigations. The resource has 21 scientific scenarios where the students have to deduce the different variables. This is an excellent chance to bring literacy into a lesson too. The resource contains: 1 x Information sheet 1 x Question sheet 1 x Answer sheet

In this document, you will find potential questions and answers for the Scientific Article for question 8 for Biology IAL (International Advanced Level) WBI15/01. This document consists of o Article Summary (237 words) and a more concise version of 54 words. Summary for each of the 3 subsections o Five (5) Key Takeaways for the entire article (these are the things you should know and understand from this article before the exam). o Key Take aways for each of the 3 subsections and for each paragraph o Vocabulary and Definitions of unknown words for each paragraph o Mind Map for the article o Paragraph Topics and IAL A Level Chapter Mapping o Full exam-style test paper based on the entire article o 409 potential questions each with its answer ➢ The questions are based on the scientific article ➢ 80% of them are linked to the syllabus, thus this document can be used for revision as well ➢ Includes definitions The article is available at the end of this booklet.

This five part resource explores social science methodologies and their application in social science research: 1. What is social science research? 2. What makes good research? 3. Case study. The family: Continuity and change 4. Doing research ethically 5. Questions, references and further reading

In order to promote pedagogically informed use of technology, educators need to develop an active, inquisitive, design-oriented mindset. Design Patterns have been demonstrated as powerful mediators of theory-praxis conversations yet widespread adoption by the practitioner community remains a challenge. Over several years, the authors and their colleagues have facilitated many workshops in which participants shared experiences, captured these as design narratives, extracting design patterns, and applied them to novel teaching challenges represented as design scenarios.

Presentation covering most of the main ideas behind planning and analysing practical science. Includes some activities to help students understand why we use control variables to ensure valid results. I'd suggest this is either broken up to cover multiple lessons, or just segments used as and when they are needed to suplemment the lesson.
