Required Practical Method Questions for GCSE Science: AQA Planning Pack (CIDERM)

This pack teaches students to plan a required practical in six steps: control, independent, dependent, equipment, repeats and method. Students plan in the margin, then write numbered steps in a logical order, which is what the mark scheme rewards.

Inside:

• the CIDERM routine on one page
• 3 worked examples with full-mark plans
• 12 planning questions based on the AQA Combined Science required practicals, across Biology, Chemistry and Physics
• 3 ‘mark it and improve it’ tasks
• a full mark scheme, with levels for every 6-mark question
• a ‘How to use this pack’ page that lists which pages to print for students and which are for the teacher
• three files: full colour, a print-friendly version with a white background, and a student pages file with no answers

Every question is original and matched to an AQA 8464 required practical. Every answer has been independently checked.
