The same clear structure in every lesson

Every lesson follows the same order, so teachers and pupils always know what comes next. Each teaching lesson opens with a Big Question and the key words, and every lesson includes a glossary. A Do Now starter retrieves earlier learning, with the answers on the next slide. The teaching cycle runs I Do, We Do and You Do, with a model answer after each task. Every lesson ends with an AQA-style exam question, its mark scheme and an exit ticket.

Assessment for learning built in

Mini whiteboard questions show you who has understood during the lesson. Pupils mark their own work and each other’s against the model answers. The exit ticket tells you where to start next lesson.

Required practicals taught in full

Each required practical is a full lesson that takes pupils through the AQA method step by step.

A topic test to finish the unit

The P5 topic test checks the whole unit with AQA-style questions, and the mark scheme comes with it. Both are editable Word documents with a PDF copy.

Easy to adapt and share across a department

Every presentation is editable PowerPoint, so you can change the examples, the Do Now slides and the branding to suit your classes. The whole department can teach the unit the same way, because every lesson follows the same structure.
