Anaerobic Respiration and Respiratory Quotients Double Lesson
Learning intention: To describe the process of anaerobic respiration and the use and interpretation of the respiratory quotient
Works well in flipped learning or by a traditional method.
This was written to meet the OCR A specification but looks like it would meet the requirements of other exam boards or could be easily tweaked.
Resources include take away active revision cards for students, which double up as sources of information and can be issued the lesson prior to turn into a flipped learning environment - they read all the information they need, then spend the lesson learning it further/ applying it/ using it.
Includes activities for students to learn and demontrate progress.
Aerobic respiration - covers Glycolysis, Link Reaction, Krebs Cycle, Oxidative Phosphorylation. Useful for students to use for revision, teachers to use in a lesson as an activity or plenary or to issue as revision cards to support students.
Includes 'Do' and 'Review' slides, the 'Do' will check understanding and make the learning more active, the 'Review' can help students check answers and act as a revision card.
Use in a flipped classroom situation as an instructional sheet, as homework in the lesson prior.

New AQA GCSE Biology 9-1 specification. Topic 6 (this is PART 1)- Inheritance, Variation and Evolution, is very large so I am splitting into two packs this is part 1 - Inheritance.
Topic 6 part 1. This pack covers all of these theory topics; Sexual and asexual reproduction, advantages and disadvantages of sexual and asexual reproduction, meiosis, DNA and the genome, structure of DNA and protein synthesis, mutations, genetic inheritance, genetic crosses. Suggested that students source a picture of meiosis stages from their own familiar text books.
These cards are useful for students to use for revision (print 2 to a page), and for teachers to use in a lesson as an activity or plenary. Good instructional material for a flipped classroom.
Includes a 'Do' and 'Review' slide, the 'Do' will check understanding and make the learning more active, the 'Review' can help students check answers and act as a revision card.

These slides help pupils gain the skills and experience required for the 11+ Verbal Reasoning and Non- Verbal Reasoning papers. These were put together in the GL assessment style, although can also be good practise for any reasoning style papers. There are a range of activities to build skills and expertise from match ups to investigations, including a mastery task at the end which can be used as a timed activity. There is plenty here for a 1 hour lesson/workshop, good for 1:1 or classroom.
Includes: Numeracy, Literacy, Word Opposites, Related Numbers, VR Coding, NVR Coding and Make the Word.
I hope this will help teachers, pupils, and parents tutoring their children through the 11+.
**Newton’s Laws Organised Work Mat - Includes an answer sheet. Please leave a review! Suggestions below to - USE these is an outstanding lesson.
An information mat AND worksheet/ work mat for students to collect and organise the information they require for the Newton’s Laws lesson. No books or other resources required for this activity as I have written all materials to work together and allow the students to work independently.
Part of a pack that I sell on Part 2 Forces Topic 5 (the motion topics), which includes work mats and activities such as calculations and card sorts.
There are many uses for this resource depending on ability
High Ability
Higher sets are asked to read the review sheet as homework before the lesson, perhaps asking for a word glossary or mind map to be produced. The starter for the lesson would be to complete the work mat from memory, then switch to another colour to complete using the Information Mat (review). The rest of the lesson I ask a high ability set to apply the knowledge.
Low Ability
Lower sets are able to independently complete the work using the Information mat (review) and work mat together, they can read and simply find the answers.
This resource is one of my active revision card activities on 'Resistors', which focuses on the I-V characteristics of ohmic and non-ohmic conductors. Aimed at the new 9-1 AQA specification for single sciences, but the content looks like it would suit all exam boards.
My active revision cards include a 'Do' and 'Review' slide, where the 'review' assists the student with the whole content for the lesson and the 'do' makes the learning more active and challenges students to recall the keywords etc for the lesson.
The document is very versatile, can support the flipped learning environment as an instructional slide. Can be printed on half a sheet of A4, a great size as take away revision cards, also good size for a starter for the next lesson or a plenary at the end of the lesson. The resource also makes a good support mat printed on a full A4 sheet.
This is one document from a pack of my premium resources. I hope this will help students and teachers with teaching and learning.

New AQA GCSE Physics 9-1 specification. Four tarsia activity puzzle documents included on; energy, electricity, particle model, atomic structure. Each one produces a different shape, there is one domino, one triangle, a rhombus and a standard parallelogram.
My students have loved these activities, they are fun to work on in pairs, they guide the students to revise the particular key words etc that I know they will need to recall, and used together with my support mats (a large print out of my active revision card activities), the students can look up anything they are unsure of (they can quickly go over the content again).
OR a useful marking free homework - at a glance check the student have correct shape, can be peer marked by posting up the solution on the board.
You will require the free tarsia software downloaded to your computer, simply google it and install, if you would like on your school computer your computer technicians should be happy to help.

New AQA GCSE Biology 9-1 specification. Four tarsia activity puzzle documents included - I have produced two versions of each (both included in the zip file - total 8 documents). One version is ideal for trilogy, and another (named triple) ideal for biology as a single science. Both are aimed at higher tier candidates, you can adapted to suit foundation tier students if required.
Covers the topics; cells, organisation, infection, bioenergetics. Each tarsia produces a different shape, there is one domino, one triangle, a rhombus and a standard parallelogram. The triple version includes the part of the topic for biology only and is slightly more difficult as there are questions around the edges/ or bigger version of the puzzle.
