I'm hoping this is adequately differentiated with opportunity for progress. Any suggested improvements very welcome

this could also be called verbal tennis/ hockey or whatever, depending on the sex distribution of your class. I have graded the teacher questions so that you have the option to choose which member of the team answers. as always, any comments or suggested improvements are greatly appreciated

differentiated for low ability and middle ability with a hihger ability challenge thrown in. Answers on bottom slide

I've left the page reference blank so you can put in your own (depending on the text you use)

again, this covers a variety of functional groups. ideas for use are included in the word document

any improvements to this or other ideas welcome!

thanks, Jane for the comment, Hopefully the worksheet is now improved I reckon that the worksheet would take about 20-25 minutes or even longer

I would be grateful for feedback on any mistakes and for the differentiation, in particular. Any other feedback also very welcome.

obviously, any feedback most welcome, especially with regard to the differentiation

this is good for a revision session at the end of the alcohols topic or pre-exam/test. Comments welcome as always

Starter based on real exam question and real responses as an Afl style activity. I have attempted to highlight the misconceptions and mixed concepts the students exhibit when answering exam questions. Based on AQA, but would work for other boards suggested uses: Use as a starter: students to select which they think is the best answer (quick starter), for a longer task, they are then to decide why the other answers are less than perfect This could be extended to be the focus of a whole lesson, if you use the question as a starter, go through the concepts and re-visit at the end of the lesson to see if the students have changed their minds. Commentary on student answers are included.

Covers mostly biology topics, but there is a chemistry and a physics application also. Questions are given approximate grades for differentiation. Can be used as a homework or cover lesson (or as a class activity) for exam technique purposes and consolidation of this all-pervasive concept. Potential answers included for ease of marking. Can be used for all specifications.

the students have to state which elements and how many atoms of each at in the compound. there are 15 examples for them to try, getting progressively harder differentiation is at 3 levels: easier as described above, middle: the students attempt to name the compounds given the formulae as well as above; and harder: the students attempt to produce the formulae, given the name of the compound as well as above SUGGESTION: for KS3 - give only the first 10 examples ideas for use: I used as a homework, but also: part of your lesson; cover; catch up for absent students Answers included

I used this lesson with year 7's - hint: the main mistake the higher ability students make is not reading the first part of the sheet, which contains the information they need to complete the task. There is a teacher -led part where an explanation is given on how to name sulphides, etc and then the students have a go. Then, another teacher lead part to explain '-ates'. The students then have a go. DIFFERENTIATION: lower ability: tasks in red boxes middle ability: tasks in blue boxes higher ability: tasks in green boxes/on separate sheet for second part of the lesson OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROGRESSION: student can go on the next level task and middle/higher ability students are given a challenge . Timings given in the lesson plan are approximate.

easy table where student compares ionic, covalent, metallic and giant covalent bonding. now updated with full differentiation objective: consolidation good for: revision, cover, homework

use for a triple group for revision. enjoy (as they did - I actually got them singing it!) - the 'rap' part starts as 'Fritz haber he made the invention' - I hope that makes sense

based on the AQA spec (reference included) - could be used for other boards. Exam style questions with approximate 3 - 9 grades. The worksheet comes in 2 levels of difficulty for differentiation (harder and easier/foundation). Takes about 30 - 40 minutes. Answers in a separate document objectives: exam technique, maths, subject knowledge good for: homework, part of a lesson, revision,cover, catch up sheet for absent students, part of an independent study if lesson time is short differentiation: two levels of difficulty - easier/foundation and harder
