This is a booklet that students can complete at home about the science behind the corona virus (covid 19). Each page contains keywords, diagrams, explanations, questions and extension activities and now project activities such as research and making posters/leaflets. It explains the different types of microorganisms that cause disease and the effects on the body. It explains how our body fights disease caused by viruses (and bacteria) and how a drug/vaccine may be developed. It is aimed at KS3 11-14 year olds, higher ability Y5 and 6 and lower ability KS4. The document comes as a pdf for the students to download from your server, or as a ppt for you to make any changes or add any extra task sheets to keep our students learning during this time.

This is a reward questionnaire to ask students the best way to reward them in the classroom. The second sheet can be used generically so that students delete from their sheet the rewards that they don’t need or like.

This is a Blooms taxonomy based around questions asked in Science lessons. It is aimed at KS3 and KS4. It has examples based on the States of Matter topic covering the hierarchy with examples of each for students to aim for. It can be used by students when answering questions or doing analysis. It can be used as a place mat during lessons or enlarged for classroom display or included in Power points when doing a question in that style.

I have now added a sheet explaining how this can be done at home by students themselves. This KS4 AQA Required Practical covers the planning, carrying out and analysing of results with 9-1 graded exam style questions. It lasts approx 2 hours. The ppt carries the students through all aspects of the practical including hypothesis, variables, safety, fair testing, method, analysing results and evaluating the validity. It finishes with exam style questions individually graded to assess students. Resource includes: 30+ slide ppt to guide the students through the practical (with answers and examples) Two page student method/practical sheet that follows the slides Two page guide sheet (worth £1.50 from my shop) Apparatus list for technician Learning Objectives on each slide linked to AQA specification It is available in a bundle with 8 other “home use” required practicals here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/nine-required-practicals-for-home-use-12461001 If you would like to see a free sample similar to this before you buy, the Osmosis one is free here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/updated-osmosis-required-practical-planning-with-graded-with-9-1-exam-style-questions-and-answers-12181019 All the biology practicals are available as a bundle here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/all-biology-planning-practicals-with-graded-questions-and-answer-12220999 If you just want the questions and answers, they are available as a bundle here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/biology-required-practical-worksheets-with-graded-9-1-exam-style-questions-and-answers-12181051 Please comment if you have found this useful If you would like more required practical resources (or any other resources) free and paid, please check out my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Thank you.

I have now added a sheet explaining how this can be done at home by students themselves. This KS4 Biology resource is a two lesson resource containing a ppt to take students all the way through the Osmosis Required Practical. It includes a student worksheet (blank one and one with model answers) and 9-1 graded exam style questions with model answers adapted from AQA past papers to test their learning. It is the complete package for the osmosis required practical. This resource comes with: 32 ppt slide to project in lessons Word and pdf versions of the students sheet and question sheets. Answer sheets to allow the students to self or peer assess. Each sheet assesses student’s skills in interpreting the data, remembering the Health and Safety and suggesting ways of improving the experiment. Key concepts covered are variables, types of errors, risk assessment etc Questions have been adapted from AQA past paper questions to help the students become familiar with the type and style of questions asked. Each question slide has Blooms Style Learning Objectives for whole class focused learning. On the top right hand corner of the sheet the students can identify areas where they need to improve so that teachers can easily see which section they are having trouble with. There are 8 other “home use” required practicals here available in a bundle here (or separately) : https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/nine-required-practicals-for-home-use-12461001 All other biology required practical sheets are available as a bundle: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/all-biology-planning-practicals-with-graded-questions-and-answer-12220999 Or individually if you click on the above bundle link above and then on the resource.

This resources consists of photographs and exam style questions with a completed graphic organiser helpsheet. This is aimed at AQA students to encourage them to practice exam style questions on required practicals anytime during the lesson. The questions are specifically generic so they can be asked about almost any of the practicals and consequently they do not need to go next to any particular one, producing over 400 combinations of questions with images. The questions are colour coded for different levels with Red-Hard, Orange-Medium and Green-Easier (one could say differentiated, but one would be stretching the truth). Also included is the required practical placemat (worth a whole £1!) to help your students answer the questions on the display. Suggestions for Activities: I generally sit my students round the display and then ask them to chose a question and I (or another student) choose a practical or vice versa. Then we discuss the answer as a class or nominate another student or practical or question, (or stick them round my board and let the display soak into their minds through osmosis / diffusion or ask a question as a plenary) The set of images and questions can be printed smaller and students and given to groups of students who turn them face down and turn two over, an image and a question, which they then answer. This game works well and makes the question and required practical more random (like the exam). Font size is set at 80 pt so that it can be seen at about 10 feet away (Approx 72 pt per 10 ft of distance is the rule) I hope you find this resource useful Thank you for reading this far.

This KS3 biology resource can be used as a homework, end of topic revision sheet or cover lesson that has questions related to animal and plant cells and reproduction, microscopes, fitness and diet. It has over 40 questions linked to Bloom’s taxonomy and Multiple Intelligences. Teacher’s can choose activities or homeworks for the class linked to ability and/or learning style, or let students choose themselves!

This updated Biology resource now has individual 9-1 graded exam style questions to assess students levels. It is used with KS4 and is designed to ask questions on Working Scientifically and the Maths calculations that are involved. These exam style questions with model answers are adapted from AQA past papers. They are normally used post practical as assessment / revision / homework, but can be used during as well or a cover lesson. This contains all the Required Practicals in Biology in one place: Osmosis, Decay, Enzymes, Field Investigations, Food Tests, Microbiology, Photosynthesis, Plant Response and Reaction Times. It also includes the Required Practical Graphic Orgainser helpsheet (worth £1) that will help the students answer the questions in these resources. Each required practical resource comes as a 5 Power Point slide to project in lessons and a PDF version for printing. It has two sheets of questions and two sheets of answers allowing for students to self or peer assess. On the top right hand corner of the sheet the students can identify areas where they need to improve so that teachers can easily see which section they are having trouble with. Each sheet assesses students skills including interpreting the data, calculations, remembering the Health and Safety and suggesting ways of improving the experiment. Key concepts covered are types of error and rarer ones such as validity, reproducibility and repeatability. Each question slide has Blooms Style Learning Objectives for whole class focused learning.
