I am relatively new to selling resources on TES, so if you like something, please review it! I am constantly updating and developing new resources - I like to concentrate the majority of my time on developing scientific skills through the use of practical work and application - conveniently this sits well with the new GCSE. I also am involved in developing schemes for the new GCSE (at my school) so will post anything I can to help others in this area.

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.
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 :)
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.
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.

First lesson
Resources: The pH Scale (+ppt)
Practical: Test pH of everyday substances
Activities order: Starter looking at the pH scale and then practical, pupils then plot the position of the substances and then questions on strength of different substances.
Second
Resources: Neutralisation -- Titration (+ppt)
Practical: Basic titration like practical using measuring cylinders
Activities order: Introduction the meaning of the term 'neutral'. Re-cap of pH from previous lesson. Practical. Word equations looking at the formation of salts.
Third
Resources: Making-Salts-Prac (+ppt)
Practical: Forming sodium chloride salt and evaporating to form crystals
Activities order: Re-cap word equations. Practical and write up and use of heating equipment specifically looking at the importance of evaporation and mixing as processes involved in the method.
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.

First lesson
Resources: Reduction-Reactions (+ppt)
Practical: Pupils complete a practical looking at the reduction of iron in iron oxide using carbon on a match.
Activities order: Starter looking at the reactivity series and the order of metals. First section looks at those found in their natural state and not in compounds. Then move on to look at those above hydrogen and below carbon using practical.
Second
Resources: Electrolysis (+ppt)
Practical: Electrolysis of copper sulphate solution - simplistic
Activities order: Introduction the meaning of the term 'lysis' and linking it to electrolysis. How ores are processed to get compounds ready for electrolysis. Electrolysis of sodium chloride and aluminium oxide as examples.

This has a full list of the equations with units and symbol equations. The equations are separated into those that need to be learn and those that need to be applied.
Also included is the same equations on quiz cards, the terms on the front of the card and full equation with units on the back. Set with just the terms on the front for pupils to fill in themselves if you wish.
I have done a similar set for Physics AQA on my resources. :)
