AQA Science Trilogy Assessment Bundle Biology, Chemistry, Physics

(1)
Requires Microsoft PowerPoint. 150 Multiple choice questions from the new specification. If Macros are enabled when prompted at the start of the presentation, the powerpoint will mark itself and give feedback (topics of weakness and more specific question feedback). Could be used at the start and end of the year to measure progress. Students can print results on slide 52 and use the feedback for independent learning or homework. I hope this saves you lots of marking. I have included hard copies of the questions and answers in case the ICT lets you down or you want to use it for a cover lesson.

Breathing Build a model of the Lungs.

(0)
Instructions to make your own model of the lungs and student worksheet. Identify the key parts of the respiratory system (Students will confuse this with respiration so avoid using this word), Describe how the diaphragm is used for gas exchange and how gasses diffuse at the alveoli. Items needed for model lung: Clear plastic cup each (1 pint), Straws (preferably thick), Elastic bands and lots of standard balloons, screw driver.

Cloning and Genetic Modification with Haribo

(0)
A simple activity to model cloning and genetic engineering using Haribo starmix. Student instructions are included. May also wish to buy some flumps. Ensure lab is clean and advisable to wear gloves. I found the smaller Haribo starmix bags to be better as the students can handle these. Must check there are two eggs or have a supply of spare eggs. Get students to describe the process back to you as a plenary. Enjoy.

Simple Combustion practical  - Easy to resource

Simple Combustion practical - Easy to resource

(0)
A PowerPoint with supporting instructions, starter and extension activities. Best if you use tealight candles. Encourages students to consider variables and to make accurate measurements. Students draw a graph to show their results. If students are difficult to motivate then ask them to estimate how long a candle would last in a specific volume (i.e. 300ml beaker) which they will have to produce a graph to extrapolate or interpolate to find this out. You could test a 300ml beaker at the end to test this. The extension activity promotes higher level scientific thought. It is unknown if the carbon dioxide smothers the candle or if the oxygen runs out first. Most students will say the taller candle as this will last longer!
