Beating The Six Mark Question

(0)
The toughest task on any GCSE Science paper is the dreaded Six Mark Question. This presentation breaks down one of these fiendish beasts and gives you some tips and tricks to help your students get as many marks as humanly possible. By which I mean six marks, obviously. Target Audience: GCSE Science Teachers working at either KS4 or Level 2.
Identify The Controls and Variables

Identify The Controls and Variables

(2)
A set of worksheets that will help KS3 and KS4 students understand and be able to use independent, dependent and control variables in planning an investigation, as well as various other things in and around the planning area. The questions use examples based on characters from The Simpsons and an experiment testing Hooke's Law.

Creating a Results Table

(0)
A step-by-step guide (with photos!) showing, taking your students through the method for drawing a results table that will ensure they get all the marks available for drawing the table. Not only that, but it will allow them to keep the results from their practical organised, reliable and repeatable. Mostly designed for use with GCSE ISAs, but it can be used at any stage where a results table needs to be drawn.

If you’re struggling to get your learners through the Pass section in Unit 3 of BTEC Level 1/2 Applied Science, you should find this Cloze Procedure very useful. When combined with the right video clips and teaching, it will give them an understanding of what “The Big Bang” is, when it happened and what other evidence we have that it did actually happen. Also useful for: KS3 Space topic, GCSE Physics. Aimed at: Lower ability learners
Terminal Velocity

Terminal Velocity

(1)
A Cloze procedure worksheet about terminal velocity, as part of a set of lessons about forces and motion. It's differentiated three ways and would be best suited for a plenary for either KS3 or KS4.
Saving Energy

Saving Energy

(0)
A worksheet about payback time and ways to save energy at home. Ideal for KS3 sections about heating and cooling, GCSE Physics and BTEC L2, Unit 1. It can be used as a lead-in to calculating U-values and energy efficiency.

Welcome to the Gibbon’s Guides to Science! As an experienced teacher of GCSE, A-Level and BTEC Levels 2 and 3, I’ve got a lot of resources I’ve developed over the years. This is one of them. Make sure you’ve got internet access for this one, since this PowerPoint for BTEC Levels 2 and 3 Applied Science (with a little tinkering) needs to be able to access Kahoot for your starter and Youtube for one of the main activities. Ideally your learners will need to have access to internet-enabled devices so they can research and take part in the Kahoot quiz. Estimated lesson time: 2 hours. Suggested expansion - Learners present their posters/Powerpoints, with peer feedback given next lesson.

Welcome to the Gibbon’s Guides to Science! As an experienced teacher of GCSE, A-Level and BTEC Levels 2 and 3, I’ve got a lot of resources I’ve developed over the years. This is one of them. It’s a workbook designed to contain all the information and work needed to get your students to the Pass level at BTEC Level 1/2 in Applied Science. Since these worksheets only cover the Pass tasks, obviously the learners will have to do the Merit and Distinction work themselves, but this resource will help them get there more quickly. It’s also laid out in order of tasks, so it makes it easy for you to mark (which is more than half the battle).
