This is an A4 sheet which lists the ‘rules’ for filling the orbitals, sub-shells and shells for the first 36 atoms on the Periodic Table. It includes diagrams which students can use to help them learn the rules for filling up the orbitals. It also gives examples on the back which show how the rules can be applied.

This is a simple information sheet which shows a way of calculating the number of protons, neutrons and electrons from any atom on the Periodic Table. It also explains why group 1 metals become more reactive as you go down the group and group 7 become less reactive. This is also available free as part of my periodic tables (Newlands, Mendeleev etc).

These KS4 physics activities contain a sheet of information about the key metals, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Mn and Co. A mind map to add the information onto and a question modified from a past exam paper. An extension activity for higher ability on how ions are different for Transition Metals.

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.

Updated with answers. This resource is aimed at KS3, but can be used with KS4 (and some KS2). It asks about key phrases and whether they are true or not in all or just some situations. This can be done as a whole class with white boards, or printed on sheets (on desks or around the room) and students add a tick on to show their opinion. It can also be fond as part of a Misconceptions in Science CPD package at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/science-misconceptions-cpd-12237121 I have now produced my first overcoming misconceptions lesson, it can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/overcoming-forces-misconception-of-normal-and-newton-s-3rd-law-lesson-12210726 For more free and paid for resources please check out my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Please comment.

This is list of 9-1 GCSE grade descriptors based on the type of question that is being asked. It can be used to assess a students understanding by looking at what type of question a student can answer. It is in order of grades and is divided into the main areas that questions are based on: The grade descriptors are 1. Diagrams or Symbols, 2. Uses-Real world or Scientific, 3. Interpreting Data from a Table, Graph or Diagram, 4. Variables, Required Practicals and Working Scientifically, 5. Science Knowledge, Ideas, Models, 6. Science Processes-Recognising, Explaining, Understanding or Applying and 7. Calculations. I have used these to produce a revision sheet for Periodic Table and Atoms from the latest AQA paper. Click here for a free download: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/periodic-table-and-atomic-structure-9-1-grade-descriptor-revision-12231830 I have also produced a more detailed breakdown how the grades link to questions on the 2019 AQA Chemistry Paper (paid resource) here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/grade-descriptor-for-all-chemistry-topics-aqa-12235088 Please comment if you have found this useful.

This Chemistry resource is used with KS4 students. These exam style questions are adapted from AQA past papers and are now individually graded 9-1. It is designed to ask questions on Working Scientifically and the Maths calculations that are involved. It is normally post practical to test students understanding. It can be used in conjunction with the practical, as a revision or homework activity. It can be used with all abilities and comes with answers. This is for students studying AQA Science 2019. It covers practical procedure (WS 2.2), risks, hazards and control (WS 2.4) and reading scales (WS 2.6). It covers the following subjects: Resolution, Range, Accuracy, Risk Assessment, Independent, Dependent and Control variables, Converting between units, Calculating the mean, recognising Anomalous results etc. 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. For all the Chemistry Practicals (now individually graded) and a help sheet , check out: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/all-aqa-chemistry-required-practical-revision-with-exam-style-questions-and-answers-2019-12197299 For other resources (Biology and Physics versions of these, please check out my shop with free and paid for resources at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 It can be used as part of the required practical in lessons, as a homework or a revision sheet (even a cover lesson with the answer sheets!).

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. A compilation (bundle) of biology booklets can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/biology-booklets-12459672 A booklet on Ecology can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/ecology-booklet-and-activities-12248045 A booklet on Variation and Evolution can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/variation-and-evolution-booklet-and-activity-12264314 A booklet on homeostasis and response can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/homeostasis-and-response-booklet-12288062 A booklet on Inheritance can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/inheritance-booklet-and-activities-12255826 For other resources (free and paid) please check out my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Hope this helps in the meantime.

This is a COVER lesson that can be given to students for home study. It follows the KS3 AQA Enquiry Processes (skills rather than knowledge) so it can be given off topic as a cover lesson or used yourself. It includes: A large main activity sheet (please print both sides onto A3) with an answer sheet if they get stuck (or the supply teacher does…) A simple Power Point to guide the class through the activities A straight forward lesson plan with lesson objectives etc. All files are editable. Hope you find this useful next time you have a colleague off (or you need a cover lesson to hand in if you’re not in for any reason.) Most of us know that one of the most difficult parts of being a science teacher was being told by your HoD when you arrive, “Miss/Mr X is not in today can you plan his/her Period 1 lesson” (And you haven’t planned yours either!) So here it is, hopefully a lesson that can be given to the supply teacher, with hardly any modifications. Depends on how this is received I may produce some more of these. Feel free to check out my shop for more free (and paid) resources: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Please comment if you have found this useful, it will spur me on to produce more.

This updated chemistry KS4 lesson asks 9-1 graded exam style questions and provides model answers covering symbols, balancing equations, naming compounds and more. It lasts approx 1 hour. It contains keyword helpsheets for students of lower ability. It encourages students to use keywords and link concepts together. All the other revision lessons are available individually, but for all the revision lessons as a bundle at a reduced price click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/atomic-structure-and-periodic-table-revison-pack-12193157 I am currently going through the 2018/19 Chemistry exam papers to create a grade descriptor based on what would be asked in the exam. I will also be updating my resources with levels based on these. More soon.

Understanding voltage and current in an electrical circuit in this powerpoint by showing students as close to what happens as possible. If shows the electrons moving being pushed by the battery. The effects of two batteries and the effect of two bulbs. This is small part of a larger resource on electricity to be published soon. I hope it helps your students have a better understanding.
