A 54 mark assessment made up of 14 multiple choice questions and the rest long answer questions The self assessment sheet breaks down each question by topic so students can quickly see which topics they are confident in and which topics require further work. I use the self-assessments in a similar way to PLCs and ask the students to keep them in their notes to refer to as a starting point for revision

3 lists for each of the A level Sciences. Suitable for all learners in preparation for their A levels and throughout the course to support their UCAS applications My students are always asking me for a good list of wider reading books so I have compiled a list for each A level Some books are tricky to source/expensive so schools could consider investing in some titles for their library at school or organise a loan scheme Great to hand out to parents or guardians at A level options evenings to help motivate their children

Suitable for KS2/KS3 and KS4 Biology/Science Activity; -Print out the words and cut them out separately. -Hide them around the classroom/outside space -Students have to come in and try and find one of each word (4 in total) - they must leave any duplicates where they are for other students to find There are not enough of each word for every student so only some students will ‘survive’ Depending on how the students find the words you could discuss competition/survival of the fittest/Adaptation/could they survive with the resources they have? It is great fun and really gets the energy up for the start of the lesson plus the students will learn about 4 things living organisms require to survive

Two Power Points and an activity covering the whole of module 6.2, Nitrogen Compounds, polymers and synthesis for OCR A level Chemistry (from 2015) PP Module 6.2.1 - 6.2.4 - 103 slides PP MOdule 6.2.5-6.2.11 - 33 slides Activity - Simple gap fill based on chiral compounds Specification point covered: 6.2.1 - 6.2.4 Amines Basicity and preparation of amines Reactions of amino acids Amides Chirality Polyesters and polyamides Condensation polymers Carbon–carbon bond formation Extending carbon chain length 6.2.5-6.2.11 Organic synthesis Practical skills Synthetic routes NB: Some slides have been adapted from other authors who have shared on TES, thank you for sharing

A quick activity that could start revision or be used from the start of the year to allow students to quickly monitor their progress. I set students different topics as part of their independent work and have reference copies of the mark schemes in my lab for them to use once they have completed the questions It is a good way to monitor and motivate independent work as well as remind students of the volume of content they need to know for their final exams.

A challenging 71 mark assessment covering the first part of module 5 The self assessment sheet breaks down each question by topic so students can quickly see which topics they are confident in and which topics require further work. I use the self-assessments in a similar way to PLCs and ask the students to keep them in their notes to refer to as a starting point for revision

An activity designed to encourage students to learn about different career paths. Students should learn about various occupations and what the role involves as well as discuss the link between the job and a current news topic. Resources: Cards with a selection of careers and small summary/job description 5 current news articles in printer friendly format NB: Not all occupations can be related to each article but the activity should promote discussion and open students eyes to a selection of different career paths. Extension: Add more occupations Ask students to provide the article for the next lesson (to encourage an interest in current affairs) Can be completed as a regular tutor time activity or as part of a careers lesson Promotes thinking outside the box, discussion, research, collaborative thinking and application of knowledge.

A short activity to use in class/intervention/tutor time
