Designed for the OCR A Level Lesson 6.4 on the organisation and specialisation of cells. As this is a topic students should have recall of from GCSE it is designed with brief introduction and then students work independently to make notes using the questions provided and their text books. I have introduced Cornell notes for this to provide students with an alternative method of note taking. Answers to questions provided.
Practical Station Sheets to be printed and placed around the classroom for the practical circus. These are designed for Low Ability Year 7 classes as it has diagrams for each step of the practical to help show the students what they need to do. This links with the Activate 1 Practical lesson for topic 6.1 Acids and Alkalis.

KS3 Electricity Marking Stickers and Feedback Tasks covering the whole topic.
There are two different versions of the marking sticker and activities. These are designed for most students with a second version for a very low ability group.
Marking stickers: I will Red, Amber, Green each descriptor depending on whether the student has show evidence in their work that they have met this learning objective. The bottom part of the sticker is to tick if there are more generalised areas that students need to work such as presentation.
The activities match the learning objectives from the stickers. I normally print these as information booklets with two slides to a page. Students can then flick through to any task numbers that they were Red on in their marking sticker and complete the task as explained in the yellow boxes. This should close the gap for the students in their learning.

Differentiated questions for each lesson in the P4 Electrical Circuits topic for AQA GCSE Physics and answers to go with them. These structure strips are designed to be printed off and glued into students books down the margin and then either used throughout the lesson, or as a task after covering theory, the students work their way through the questions. Not all students will be expected to complete the entire structure strip as it depends on target grades. The questions link directly to the learning objectives and ensure the content is covered and allows students to stretch themselves. They could also be given as homework for consolidation or used for targeted revision. Students find these a great way to ensure they have met their objectives and it makes marking books easier.
The questions are split into three main groups:
Bronze (Red) questions are targeted at Grade 4
Silver (Amber) questions are targeted at Grade 6
Gold (Green) questions are targeted at Grade 8
Star questions are challenge questions.
Structure strips are included for the following lessons;
Electrical charges and fields
Current and Charge
PD and Resistance
Component Characteristics
Series circuits
Parallel circuits
Answers are included as a powerpoint presentation for all structure strip questions to allow self or peer assessment by students.
