Power Points summarising key information for each paper one. Clearly identifies higher content. Ideal for the few lessons before the exam.

A very cut down version condensing content into manageable chunks. Ideal for pupils who struggle to revise or those who need small amounts of information to process.

Resources developed as part of a *BIG PRACTICAL*. These are designed to practice a skill - usually using a preliminary investigation - then a full investigation write up. These are tailored toward the way the new GCSE (2016 on wards) is designed to test practical skills as well as context. First lesson Resources: aseptic techniques practice, pupils-account-of-aseptic-techniques (+ppt) Practical: Pupils culture a known bacterial both using aseptic techniques, with an aim of achieving zero contamination. Activities order: Teacher intro, practical write up using frame and practical, KILLER CHALLENGE correcting a poor aseptic method Second lesson Resources: Testing antibiotics (+ppt) Practical: Pupils complete the same method of culturing known bacterial broths using aseptic techniques but add antibiotic disks. Activity order: Look at plates from previous lesson and look if they have been successful and what they need to improve. Practical and write up. Third lesson Resources: Antibiotic plate sheet, Diameter-zone-of-inhibition (+ppt) Activity order: Look at antibiotic plates, Complete sheet looking at antibiotics and comparing zones of inhibition, calculating zones of inhibition for comparison.

Activity looking at unicellular organisms, mainly amoeba and euglena. The ways they reproduce, similarities and differences. Differentiated in to bronze, silver and gold.

This is a unit (4 lessons) for filling the AQA required practical although can be easily used for other specifications. The method used are the recommended practical methods published by AQA. There was a mistake with the equation in the given methods which has been confirmed by AQA so this unit is correct but does differ slightly from the published material. The lessons are as follows: 1) Label and compare plant and animal cells 2) Prepare and onion slide and calculate the size of one cell 3 ) Compare prokaryotic and eukaryotes 4) Calculate magnification of specimens This has been designed as part of a year 9 scheme of work which have been fully undated to cover the new AQA specification, change in assessment objective weightings and mathematical requirements. This is a free upload and is a sample of my other units. Please leave a review of these resources

Plant and animal cells to label. Differentiated in to bronze, silver and gold.

A work sheet looking at the arrangement of giant ionic structures and how structure links to properties. Silver and Gold worksheets.

Pupils choose from a list of suitable technical materials to design certain aspects of a rally car or hair straighteners. Many components could have multiple materials used. Challenge task of looking at the impact of changing material to an alternative.

Activity comparing mice exposed and not exposed to diesel fumes. Mainly looking at unknown impacts of nano particles. Graph is a challenging graph to read and deduce result from. Asks challenging questions about conclusive proof and if this proves that there is a link between the findings and mice and humans. Differentiated bronze, silver and gold.

A test split into triple and combined with a mark scheme covering the basic information and questions encountered in the new curriculum. These will be available for different topics and in bundles. Enjoy and please review :)

Basics looking at the equations for combustion and comparing them. Practical based on using a Bunsen Burner to heat water, air hole open and closed. Practical details are on the ppt. Sheet then looking at the evidence and observations of the two types of combustion (Differentiated in to bronze, silver and gold). Application looking at a car. Challenge task looking at the impacts of carbon monoxide.

Resource developed to guide mid to low learners through AQA required specific heat capacity practical. This is the work sheet only. Available in my other resources as a bundle with PowerPoint and other resources.

This is a unit (4 lessons) for filling the AQA required practical although can be easily used for other specifications. The method used are the recommended practical methods published by AQA. The lessons are as follows: 1) Testing biological and non biological detergent on protein 2) Optimum conditions 3/4) Effect of pH on amylase break down of starch This has been designed as part of a year 9 scheme of work which have been fully undated to cover the new AQA specification, change in assessment objective weightings and mathematical requirements.

Skills based double sheet - designed as a homework but could be adapted. Bronze, silver and gold differentiated to three different levels. Looks at experimental design and variables in different experiments. Developing important skills for the new GCSE.

Resources developed as part of a *BIG PRACTICAL*. These are designed to practice a skill - usually using a preliminary investigation - then a full investigation write up. These are tailored toward the way the new GCSE (2016 on wards) is designed to test practical skills as well as context. First lesson Resources: bicarbonate writing frame (+ppt) Practical: Pupils use tin foil to cover one test tube containing pond weed and use bicarbonate indicator to show photosynthesis (+respiration HIGHER). Practical procedure notes in PPT (consult health and safety or use approved procedure) Activities order: Starter looking at the photosynthesis equation and the role of chloroplasts, Practical and write up for first practical. Second/Third lesson Resources: Distance writing frame (+ppt) Practical: Collecting gas using a measuring cylinder and investigating the affect of distance of a lamp. Activities order: Introduction to aim and prediction. Pupil should be able to complete practical independently give guidance and previous practical. Graph, conclusion and evaluation scaffolding also provided but may need to be scheduled for another lesson. Two PowerPoints available with results as practical can be slightly temperamental.
