A set of homeworks for KS3 students to research key discoveries in science. Created to be completed in a half term as a group of weekly tasks.

Collection of activities focusing on the calculations involved in the new GCSE Chemistry Paper 1 (AQA syllabus). Each topic is explained with examples and provides questions to attempt (answers also in the presentation). This could be used as revision or each subtopic slide used when planning individual lessons. Content: Calculating atomic mass RFM and % mass Atom economy RF values Conservation of mass Concentration of solutions Titration reaction Reacting masses Bond enthalpies

These sheets are to help students revise the required practicals that they need to know now for the new GCSE specifications. They could be used with Year 10 or 11. Each sheet has differentiated questions. They could be used in lessons, for homework or in extended days for Year 11 students.

The quiz is a great revision resource to promote students’ confidence prior to sitting the exam. The activity is suitable for both year 10 and year 11. It can be used as a classroom activity or an extended day

New GCSE lesson on variation for the AQA syllabus Learning Objectives: Describe the different types of variation Explain why identical twins are not exactly the same Suggest ways in which variation can be investigated

Used with KS3 but perfectly good with KS4 as well with a few alterations. Lots of differentiation and AfL. Print off slide 5 for the students to fill out as you go through the information. Learning Objectives: Describe what the big bang is Describe the route our star will take in its’ life cycle Compare the different paths stars can take in their life cycle

Directed towards KS3 but could be used with low ability KS4 lesson on balancing equations and naming compounds. Learning Objectives: Identify the ion charges of each group Construct formula through their ion charges Work out formulas for compounds Balance equations

The quiz is a great revision resource to promote students’ confidence prior to sitting the exam. The activity is suitable for both year 10 and year 11. It can be used as a classroom activity or an extended day

GCSE Physics lesson on specific heat capacity to a KS4 class. The experiment carried out to calculate specific heat capacity was also done in the lesson. Learning Objectives: Explain what the specific heat capacity of a material is Calculate the specific heat capacity of a material Analyse the results from the experiment

An introduction into philosophy, given to a KS4 class. One slide is a research task which the class did on school computers/iPads, but the lesson could be done without. The lesson includes many videos so non-specialist teachers can teach it. Learning Objectives: Define what philosophy is Compare the different types of knowledge and reasoning Debate philosophical questions

This revision activity is designed for Year 11 students in the lead up to their GCSE exams. The resource is a two-sided task, which contains the key principles of each practical. The task could be an excellent revision lesson

KS3 lesson used to teach about metal ores and extracting them from the ground. Learning Objectives: Describe why metals are found as ores Explain the impact of extracting these ores from the ground Analyse the impact on humans of extracting ores from the ground

Two lessons on Socrates and Plato, looking at the following learning objectives: Learning Objectives: Describe who Socrates was Explain what the Socratic method is Debate philosophical questions Learning Objectives: Describe who Plato was Explain the 8 forms of love Analyse Plato’s cave story Debate philosophical questions

Differentiated lesson on density. Experiment using eureka cups and investigating densities of different objects. Question race at the end to escape the T-rex, differentiated questions and answers included. Learning Objectives: Describe how to measure densities Predict whether an object with sink or float Calculate density of objects from their mass and volume

GCSE Physics lesson on a density, specifically looking at irregular objects and doing the eureka pot experiment in class. Learning Objectives: Recall how to calculate the density of a regular shape Explain how to calculate the density of an irregular shape Evaluate the method of measuring the volume of an irregular object

The lesson provides an overview for the negative ion tests. It enables students to complete practical work and use their knowledge of ion tests to determine the composition of compounds. Lesson objectives To describe the range of negative ion tests To recall the positive result for each test To identify compounds based on observations

A lesson looking at what utilitarianism is. Video links included to help in delivery. Learning Objectives: Describe what utilitarianism is Describe what Jeremy Bentham philosophised Debate utilitarian questions

This revision activity is designed for Year 11 students in the lead up to their GCSE exams. The resource is a two-sided task, which contains the key principles of each practical. The task could be an excellent revision lesson

KS3 lesson on gravity and the differences in the effect of gravity on different planets. Homework task included at the end of the lesson. Print off the last 8 slides to put around the room when calculating the weight on different planets. Learning Objectives: Describe the difference between mass and weight Explain why gravity is not the same on different planets
