Exam Practice New Workbook for AQA GCSE Combined Science Trilogy Command Words Exam technique I have wanted a single resource where students learn the skills that help them to tackle specific types of science exam questions and then provides students with model examples and practice. So I made it!!! Higher and Foundation Workbooks with mark schemes that helps students tackle exam style questions focused on specific command words found in AQA GCSE Science papers Use: Teacher-student walkthroughs Independent student learning and exam prep Homework tasks Workbooks structure: Information on key focuses to answer the question Model examples (good examples vs bad examples with annotated comments) Scaffolded teacher-student walk throughs Student practice examples Foundation Workbook - 68 pages Higher Workbook - 82 pages
