This document prints back to back so that the name of the study is on one side, and details of the study are on the other side. The first version for each study is a summary of the method & results, with a second detailing the numerical data associated with the study. The A level studies are listed in a separate document.
A homework pack that provides example questions for Section A, Section B and Section C from the OCR AS Level Core Studies exam. I typically set students one section per study, cycling between Sections. Check out the free example for Milgram on my author dashboard. Available in combination with Core Studies Year 2 homework pack at a discounted rate.
Covering all 10 of the AS level Core Studies for the new OCR Specification. A multiple choice quiz featuring seven rounds, with a bonus round after each. To run this quiz, I ask students to work in teams and give 20 points (sweets) as a starting currency. Then for each multiple choice round, the team with the most correct answers gets 4 more, second most gets 3 more etc. After each multiple choice round (other than the final round) is a bonus round. Select a team at random to do the bonus round by picking a letter from the slide. Uncover the question/instruction underneath by deleting the letter and removing the shading from the cell. Students answer that question and are given 3 sweets for every mark they get. Highly engaging (but very active for you!) (Answers included in separate document). Takes about 2 hours
