Psych out game full AQA specification

Psych out game full AQA specification

(0)
This take on a very famous board game encourages students to not ask about appearance but more in-depth information to guess who their opponent has. This is a nice end of year task that makes revision fun and gets students thinking about what to ask and how. Great to print and laminate and easy to store and carry. All you need is a board for each player to use (dry erase markers if you are laminating them) and then another board printed out and cut out to make the cards that players choose their psychological figure from. A lot of fun!

Psychology bunting

(0)
This bunting has several varieties and colours. PSYCHOLOGY letter bunting in 3 colourways and fonts Psychology A-Z in 3 colourways with additional letters for alternates in the alphabet for 6 letters. Bunting can be cut out to shape or just kept as rectangles, and include images which can be printed in colour or black and white. i recommend laminating these for strength and longevity. I do not own the rights to the images used, the clipart images are royalty free. These are A4 size but could be altered in size as these are on a powerpoint.
How to break down and understand what exam questions are asking!

How to break down and understand what exam questions are asking!

(0)
This resource is inspired by an article in Psychological Review, in which I have taken the premise, summarised and provided examples and then given 3 questions to use as worked examples for the student to put the learning into practice. On the rear are the command terms used by Ofqual and AQA which helps the student understand the words they can expect to see and what each of those words means in terms of their requirement in correctly and successfully answering a question.
Evaluation ladders (essays)

Evaluation ladders (essays)

(0)
This is a template for an evaluation ladder. Each ladder has a point which you can fill in or for stretch and challenge have students complete. They then have room for evidence and explain. Ideally they should be able to fit this into this as an exam paragraph shouldn’t really be longer than what can be fitted here (dependent on handwriting size of course). You can also print this out as A3 as a table exercise, and rotate it so one group writes a point then the next has to evidence. This leaves more room for students to work and collaborate. Good tool to use to ensure that students are writing complete paragraphs and understanding a point is not worth a point unless you evidence and explain it. As for linking, this is lightly greyed out and has a smaller area, this is more high level student as not all students can manage to do this, I always advise as long as you PEE then you are good, but the option is there. There is a topic, student name and mark box so you can do some peer marking or have it as a homework exercise, though its also a good revision tool in upcoming revision sessions - exams are looming ever closer!

Attachment dominoes

(0)
These dominoes cover Attachment - caregiver-infant interactions and the stages of attachment, including research by Meltzoff and Moore and Schaffer and Emerson and are a nice alternative to flashcards that make recall more interactive and done in pairs rather than alone. 2 pages of dominoes which can be printed and laminated for long term use and can be edited for use with other topics.

STEM practice exam question sheet

(0)
This resource aims to help students who struggle with STEM questions, enabling them to write the question on the sheet then split the psychology and find the example in the stem and write it in another box alongside it. This enables the student to practice examining the stem for the psychology required to answer the question, and then to look at the STEM example and find the example that goes with the psychology,
Dyslexia alphabet mat

Dyslexia alphabet mat

(0)
This double sided placemat was designed for a student in my creative writing and english literature classes that has dyslexia, she has an alphabet in front of her on paper to help her form the words she wants to write and I designed and made this and laminated it so she could put it in her file and have it for every lesson instead of the scrap of paper she kept losing. This was a great success for her and formed part of my QTLS entry.
Tackling questions about studies

Tackling questions about studies

(0)
This resource enables students to be able to separate the study from the psychology. The worksheet has space to write out everything they know about the study and then below how that relates to the psychology from the question. Sometimes students find it hard to think about what the study entailed and the psychology of it, and then to use that knowledge to answer a question - this enables students to practice pulling apart studies in relation to specific questions. This download has 3 files - 1 is an instructional example file, the second is a worksheet with question and conclusion fields and the third is a simple sheet with no question or conclusion fields, useful for practice - such as writing information about studies across the top and then writing what psychology it relates to at the bottom, such as arguments it supports, approaches it belongs to etc.

Breaking it down - essay questions

(0)
A nice simple worksheet to use to help students focus on what a question is actually asking them. A colourful way to organise and break down knowledge in order to understand what is needed to answer a question. This is a great AFL tool as students can fill them in for exam questions and hand them in, this can help identify where the student needs to make improvements and can help them in better planning for answering exam questions.
Ainsworths rooms!

Ainsworths rooms!

(0)
This A3 printable is great to laminate or just use as is. This task can be used in groups, pairs or as individuals and aims to get students to draw a representation of each of the stages of Ainsworths study, i.e mother, baby and stranger in one box, in another just stranger and baby. They can include words about emotions or add descriptions, but this gives the students license for their own artistic expression and is useful for more visual learners. This could also be used in A4 format to add to students files as a quick revision tool for the different conditions within the strange situation.

Research Methods flow chart/overview activity

Research Methods flow chart/overview activity

(0)
This resource includes a flow chart poster in A3, as well as an acitivity that includes both an easy and hard level, or AS and A2 level worksheet task. The activity document contains an instruction sheet for easy and hard as well as a blank flowchart for both difficulties. The idea is to fit all the terms into the flowchart to complete the structure of a psychological study: Great as an introduction for AS - the sections are colour coded and match up with future resources, this enables sectioning of the materials and easier delivery and understanding. This can be delivered as a starter to get students thinking or at the end of delivery to check learning and understanding. Great as an overview for A2 after delivery of second year content, at this stage they should be able to complete the flowchart with ease. Included is a blank A3 resource with cards for each of the elements that students can use in a more hands on way in groups, arranging the cards on the flowchart where they think they should go - there is an easy version with coloured cards and a hard version with boxes without colour. The different versions will stretch and challenge and can be used to cater to different levels of ability and learning. More resources will be added on research methods, these will be colour coded to the specific areas on the flowchart.

(0)
This pack contains 6 word download files that are aimed at helping students work on how to break down questions in order to answer them efficiently for the most marks. There is a 4 square sheet ideal for exam question structuring and a great tool for AFL to check students have grasped the topic and how to use their knowledge to answer a question. There is also a dual sided worksheet which is aimed at questions that focus on studies, this enables students to break down what the study is about on one half, then be able to use that information and focus it on the question. Sometimes, students find it hard to use their knowledge in the correct way, this sheet helps and comes with an instruction download to give you some ideas on how to use it. There is also a study breakdown worksheet useful for revision and a STEM worksheet which helps students to identify the psychology in the question and link it to the examples in the stem. These resources are unlocked and so you can type on them, alter them or just print them as they are and come with 5 PNG image files that you can print out any size you prefer. If anyone is interested in these individually they will be added in the next few days as well as other resources aimed at helping students tackle exam questions, and guide them in how to structure answers in order to gain better results.

Fight or flight?

Fight or flight?

(0)
This A3 printable features a human body and is a great resource to print and laminate for best value and use. It is a double sided resource, though can be printed and used to make a display poster highlighting the body in its 2 states of relaxation and anxiety. On one side a group talks about what it feels like to be relaxed - how they feel physiologically and mentally and then they flip it over and think about a time they felt scared or anxious (perhaps reacting to a phobic stimulus) and they populate this side with how they feel physiologically and mentally. A nice starter task to the endocrine system, rather than a part of the topic - if you use this initially you can get them thinking about bodily changes before you even get on to the more in depth details of the endocrine system and the fight or flight response. You could go back to this later on and revisit the task when you get to the endocrine system and draw out the important sites within the endocrine system.

The ‘playing’ pieces which come in 6 colours and are to be printed once (for 6 groups) 4, Additional more cosmetic pieces to add to the exercise, to be printed once - useful for photographs etc. This is a great task just printed on paper but also laminated for longevity and also makes a great wall display item.
STARTER - BEDLAM ESCAPE ROOM

STARTER - BEDLAM ESCAPE ROOM

(0)
This resource is the start of a 60 minute escape room (still in development) but is ideal as a starter, 15-20 minutes (approximately - dependent on size of group). The basis is that there are a number of documents that require a group to share out and read to answer the crossword puzzle questions - some are easy, some are more challenging, but all the answers are in the printable materials. This encourages group interaction and discussion and is an ideal ice breaker. This pack contains printables that constitute a complete escape room experience which is an ideal ice-breaker and fosters positive team building interaction while also being somewhat educational and fun. Case files included are blank and completed (fictional) and can be used as inspiration to write your own. The photographs on the case files are not my property these are actual photographs of patients from Bedlam available online. A great resource for your further reading is in the links below. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7296751/Faces-patients-notorious-Bedlam-Asylum.html https://museumofthemind.org.uk/ A qr code for the Bethlem official museum is on the newspaper printable, a nice touch for anyone wanting to learn more. The newspaper file is A4 but needs printing as A3 for best results. The asylum photo files is an optional extra to add decor to your room - i printed these out and laminated for future use and used these on the walls. This pack contains the crossword puzzle answer sheet - i wrote the answer in invisible ink in the admin only box on the quiz sheet and used a torch to reveal the answer - this was fun but made having someone else run the quiz for you easier if you were using this on a larger group.
