This is the full resource pack for an assessment for KS4 students who are studying electrolysis, ionic compounds, aluminium oxide, extraction of metals, This resource pack comes with several parts; 1. PowerPoint presentation to introduce the task. 2. Word document printout for the students to stick in their books. 3. Word document printout with a level ladder on so that the students can self/peer assess the work, there is also a column so the teacher can tick off the achieved criteria. 4. Word document containing a mark scheme. 5. Excel spreadsheet that can be used to automatically generate extended written feedback including improvement strategies for the teacher to give the students. A guide on how to use this resource can be freely accessed at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/the-automarker-11191496 This is based on an old AQA Chemistry Exam Paper. This task is good for training students to answer long questions i.e. 6 mark questions at GCSE. This task is suitable for students at Grade E-A*, however I have removed these grades so that you can use the old or new grading system..

I have made a range of resources for the calculations that AQA GCSE students will be expected to complete for the new Chemistry specification (8462). The resources packs contain 1. PowerPoint showing the key stages/background information on the calculation. 2. Word document worksheet with some questions for the students to attempt, whenever possible these are based on exam questions. 3. Word document with the questions on with space left for working out the answer. 4. WMV video clip this format is playable in most programs, such as RealPlayer, MPlayer, Windows Media Player, and the VLC Media Player. The video clip goes through the stages of the calculations on the worksheet, this is extremely useful for students (and teachers) who are struggling to see where the answer comes from. 5. Word document containing just the answers. There are a total of 13 resource packs for the balancing chemical equations calculations.

Last lesson we looked at at the how to do the calculations that scientists use to determine the volumes of gases. In this lesson we will discover how carbon is reused and recycled in the atmosphere and environment. This lesson is delivered over YouTube but has some accompanying resources. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMozRv0mc6Q&list=PLRQqpdTTanY_8L_9hEq5CnpU_rNoacQlP&index=11 The review of work set in this lesson can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_knKyiV0PM&list=PLRQqpdTTanY_8L_9hEq5CnpU_rNoacQlP&index=12 The full resource pack for this including an automarker can be found at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/carbon-cycle-quality-mark-assessment-full-resource-pack-11346610 I teach the AQA GCSE Chemistry course, including both double (8464) and triple (8462) award, and as such most of these resources will be specific to that course, however they may also be useful for other specifications.

This is a newer unit that I have created from numerous resources, and includes: Rock Types- igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. The Rock Cycle Properties of materials metals and non-metals The Reactivity Series Displacement and reactions Extracting metals from their ores Matching materials to their properties.

This is the free version of a board game that I use with KS3 and KS4 students to revise for their end of unit tests or exams. For the teacher this is quick and easy revision activity that requires a one-time set up and then it can be used time and time again! Very little effort is required by you and the students can happily spend all lesson playing the game (if you let them) leaving you free to do what you fancy! My students love it and I get chance to sit down with the students who need extra help, or catch up on a bit of marking. To get started: • Print the board game on white A3 paper. • Print the question cards on blue paper/card, cut them up and pop them in little bags. • Print the hazard cards on yellow paper/card, cut them up and pop them in little bags. • Laminate the board game (optional but makes the game last longer) • Get a little stash of counters or items that could be used as the player pieces e.g. coloured paper circles, novelty rubbers, little model etc • Get some dice. For a class of 30 I’ve found that 6 groups of 5 work quite well, therefore you’d need 6 game boards and 6 packs of cards. How to play: This game is suitable for 2-6 players, you need one di and each player needs a counter (coloured tokens or paper circles will do). • The players put their counter on the start square, take turns to roll the dice and move across the game board. • The aim of the game is to be first to get to the end of the board. • If the players land on a YELLOW square they should pick up a yellow hazard card. • If the players land on a BLUE square the person to their left should pick up a blue question card and ask the player the question on the card, if the player gets it right they can move two spaces forward, if they get it wrong they stay where they are. The question cards have the correct answer either shown at the bottom or highlighted in bold. These are the rules my students came up with but feel free to alter them to suit your needs. For each unit taught I’ve made my own quiz cards so the students can test themselves on the unit content, I have quite a few different units which I am in the processing of uploading to TES now. Keep your eyes peeled for the bundles I am putting together.

This is the free version of an assessment for KS3 students who are studying heat transfers, conduction, convection, radiation, lab safety, insulators, heat safety and materials. This could also be used for lower ability KS4 or as a recap exercise at the start of the GCSE. I have also produced a resource pack available to purchase from TES at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/heat-transfers-quality-mark-assessment-full-resource-pack-11353202 The resource pack comes with several parts; 1.

JPEG images showing a hand-drawn versions of the diagrams for this task some of these have been inserted into the PowerPoint, but may also be useful for students who aren't confident in laying out their work. The first two images are simply diagrams of the saucepan, the next four images are based on a flow diagram used to represent to heat transfers in the example (one of my students came up with this idea!) This task is suitable for students at level 3-7, and is based on an old APP task. When I have used this in lessons students have made some really nice posters, and great descriptions

This is a worksheet I made to help my students to practice the graphs skills required for the ISA controlled assessment, I've also included questions that regularly come up on paper two. This sheet has been done in the context of testing how temperature affects the viscosity of oils however this could easily be adapted to suit other investigations. I intend on uploading a mark scheme for this after I have delivered this lesson.

This activity is about getting the students to think outside the box and to design a new item based on a new material that has an unusual property. I usually start the lesson by showing the students this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSDQc3qkXo4 Which gives the students an idea of how many discoveries were made by accident. Then presenting them with the scenario shown on the Powerpoint. D30 is a product which uses the unusual property of 'turning sold when hit' to create a range of protective wear that can take large impact without it or the item its protecting being damaged. (http://www.d3o.com/) This activity is perfect for end of term as it can fit anywhere in a unit and provides a fun yet scientific end of term activity. The students enjoy it best when its done as a competition. This may also be appropriate for STEM days.

I have been through the specifications for the new AQA Science qualification covering Biology (8461), Chemistry (8462) and Physics (8463). This resource pack contains just the CHEMISTRY, but I have also posted the others too separately to make it easier for you to get just the part you need. All the attached resources are either AQA documents or my shortened version of them. I have converted the PDF specification into word documents so that they are easier to use and then extracted smaller parts from these specifications to make them easier to quickly reference. For the Biology, Chemistry and Physics I have extracted from the main specification the required mathematical skills for each science, and the new required practical's. For the required practical's I have made a shortened version to be used as a quick reference.
