I had lots of fun making this one!
A 100 question multiple choice quiz set into rounds. Aimed at foundation for pure knowledge recall.
I use them at the beginning/end of my lessons to get students to recall key information regularly.
Answers are included and instructions for use of the quiz are on one of the beginning slides. An excellent starter/Plenary.
All lessons required for both combined and separate sciences with all resources mentioned attached and differentiated activities (e.g. plenaries)
The lessons follow the new Edexcel textbook so you can use these as well if necessary.

Intensity
How eyes work
Lenses and the lens equation
Sight problems
Distance and image height PCA
Reflection
Refraction
Critical angle
Total internal reflection
Using reflection and refraction (ultrasounds)
Includes 4 lessons for the New Edexcel Physics transition module for KS3 into KS4.
It includes 4 differentiated lessons that link into each other. This topic is not currently in this specification at any level.
Top and Bottom sets will be challenged by this.
Includes:
Work done
Extension of a spring
Extension of an elastic band
Work done by a spring
Graph skills
Suitable for KS3 and KS4 chemistry revision on making salts, reactions of acids and states of matter.
Follows the new chemistry Edexcel transition content.
Powerpoint lesson plan available to go with this in the free resources section as I am not the original author of most slides.
Up to 2 hours of christmas related activities with a fun challenge to appeal to all age groups and abilities.
The first set of activities are fully differentiated, where pupils can chose their challenge. If they complete a lower challenge, they get less points, but there is a first finisher bonus. The choice is theirs. There is also a science reindeer classification key activity.
The second set of activities are a little more crafty with mathematics and symmetry coming in to one of the activities. There are also different challenges for different amounts of points.
Pupils could work individually or alone.
Full scheme of work for the New 2016 Edexcel Transition topic for KS3/KS4.
Pupils learn to measure and calculate speed, use and rearrange the S=d/t equation and recall common scalar and vector quantities. There is a game with snail racing!
Includes differentiated worksheets with different themes (superhero themes)!
Also includes:
Acceleration
Distance/time graphs
Velocity
Velocity/Time graphs
A step by step guide for year 7 up to year 11 revision on how to write word equations for neutralisation. It includes naming salts for hydrochloric, sulphuric and nitric acid and all the general equations.
Four 6 mark writing frames for Edexcel P3 topic 1-4.
Could be used as a homework or as revision for the upcoming physics exam!
Topics are:
Endoscopes and other methods (fluoroscopes, gamma, x-ray)
Sight problems
Collisions
ECGs
This resource is appropriate for the new Edexcel transition topic in KS3 and also for C1 in KS4. This resource covers properties of metals, the reactivity series, oxidation and reduction, methods of extraction and word equations.
You can make this resource interactive for lower ability, or for revision of C1 in year 11 by following the content on the PowerPoint and having pupils fill in the activity after each stage. The PowerPoint is included and the diagrams match up.
Revision PowerPoint for use with a mixed ability year 11 class. Covers all objectives from the Edexcel Additional Physics topic 5 on Radioactivity.
All activities mentioned on the PowerPoint are on the activity document, where pupils can work at it after you have covered/revised the content. There is also exam practice on the document.
Second topic of the new Edexcel physics transition module for KS3/GCSE.
This topic covers the Kinetic theory model, including density of solids, liquids and gases.
There is also a lesson on Absolute zero, which is currently covered in the P3 Extension unit. This powerpoint could be used for triple award groups.
All worksheets come with answers and are fully differentiated.
1 PowerPoint that includes all lessons for both combined and separate science pathways in the new GCSE specification 2016.
I have used these resources with a top set triple year 10 group and a bottom set year 9 group with good results so it is well differentiated where possible.
If any resources are mentioned but NOT included it is because I did not make them and therefore am not selling them. Check out the free resource part of my page to find it, or contact me and I will send it to you! This includes the tests/assessments.
Revision resources are also included.
2 PowerPoints; one for Combined and one for the Separate science course as they are quite different.
I have used these resources with a top set triple year 10 group and a bottom set year 9 group with good results so it is well differentiated where possible.
If any resources are mentioned but NOT included it is because I did not make them and therefore am not selling them. Check out the free resource part of my page to find it, or contact me and I will send it to you! This includes the tests/assessments.
Science controlled assessment flowchart - split into sections. Each section that can be marked is in a separate box. Parts A, B and C are different colours. Will help pupils to access more marks when it is time for the real thing!
EDIT: "Dependent variable(s)" should have been "Control variable(s)". Now changed.
After the popularity of the Original Platinum 20...
This is the first in the ions challenge.
Pupils are given 20 common ion names, with some additional information (group number etc) and are given 3 minutes to get the ions written down with the correct charge!
I have BIG plans for the medium and hard challenges!
These grids specifically cover the Edexcel Chemistry topics in the core module. They are fully differentiated, where higher ability pupils have to make the links between the keywords without hints or a leading question. The lower ability can use the given rules which include 'define the word' and 'spot the mistake'. NB this only includes topics 1-3.
There is also a literacy grid. Pupils choose a topic or part of a topic they need to revise or struggle to remember. Use a describe question about that topic e.g. Describe how chalk becomes marble using ___________ and ___________. They roll the dice going along the corridor and up the stairs to select a box. They repeat until they have a number of random pictures/words. They are to write a short creative story about the part of the topic they have chose. Could be used at the beginning of a topic to see what pupils know about the topic. Higher ability, more words/images to fit in.
Example: I have chosen āDescribe what happens to reactivity of elements as you go DOWN the groupā. I rolled the dice and it gave me 4,4 (Wednesday) and 5,3 (kitten).
āThe was once a crazy cat lady who gave her kitten a different metal in group one every day of the week. On Monday she gave the kitten some lithium and he didnāt even look at it. On Tuesday she give the kitten some sodium. He sniffed it, and then walked away. On Wednesday she gave the kitten potassium. He licked the edge, and it turned his tongue lilac, but he didnāt eat it. On Thursday she gave the kitten some Rubidium. He ate about half of it and walked away. Getting annoyed, the crazy cat lady went out and bought some Caesium for breakfast on Friday. She was certain her picky cat would like this. Sure enough, on Friday the kitten ate all of the rubidium and meowed for more. I wonder if there is an element he might like even moreā¦ā
