UPDATED FOR SUMMER 2024! After the Santa and Easter murder mysteries were such a success, I thought I would create a summer one for use on those last few days in the summer term to go alongside the quizzes or other activities you might do every year. This mystery follows the murder of Mr. Rossi who was (unfortunately) still in his ice cream van when someone melted it! There are 20 suspects and 5 clues for teams to solve before gaining access to the final clue, which will allow them to start eliminating suspects. The clues rely on team work to complete them well within an hour, and require problem solving skills as well. Some clues are (loosely) linked to science; there is a classification key and a speed calculation, but the main aspect is team work and problem solving. Students will need the case brief printed, and some of the slides in the PowerPoint to complete this. The slides needed are labeled in the notes section. There is a leader board so you are able to display the progress of each team. I allow teams to lock in an answer whenever they want, but I won’t tell them if they’re right until the end. They can work on the clues in any order but MUST have completed all 5 before accessing final clues. all answers are provided in the PowerPoint. Enjoy

Full topic of 5 lessons. Covers the core practical on Hookes Law as well as the extra content for triple scientists. The presentation does not talk specifically about Hooke as we find that time is tight by the time we reach topic 15, and it is not specifically outlined in the specification. A homework on the core practical with a video link is included. This is part of a core practical booklet that was created for my combined scientists. The full resource is available in my TES shop. Some content referenced is from the Pearson Active Teach - Your school need to have a subscription to this to access the documents referenced.

A 100 question multiple choice quiz set into rounds. Aimed at foundation for pure knowledge recall. I use them at the beginning/end of my lessons to get students to recall key information regularly. Answers are included and instructions for use of the quiz are on one of the beginning slides. An excellent starter/Plenary.

Currently 32 quizzes of sixteen questions (with a tie breaker, just in case!) for use in tutor time and/or as a house competition in teams. Each week/quiz has a different theme. All answers are included at the end of the PowerPoint, sometimes with additional infomation. UPDATED TO FIX ERRORS. From Quiz 15 onwards, question 10 always has a literacy theme to try to improve whole school literacy. These quizzes fit perfectly in a tutor session and could be run amongst your tutor group or as house teams. There will be enough for one per week for the WHOLE YEAR by July so keep checking back once purchased. 1 - General knowledge 2 - European Day of Languages 3 - Weather 4 - Islands 5 - Lyrics 6 - Cartoons 7 - Logos 8 - Remembrance 9- Polish National Day 10 - Movies 11 - Dingbats 12 - Attendance 13 - Games 14 - Christmas 15 - New Year 16 - Alphabet part 1 17 - Alphabet part 2 18 - Numbers 19 - General Knowledge part 2 20 - Food and Drink 21 - Animals 22 - Sport 23 - Capital Cities 24 - Celebrity Guess Who 25 - Flags 26 - Easter 27 - The Human Body 28 - Harry Potter 29 - Space 30 - Mental Health Awareness 31 - Collective nouns 32 - Periodic table 33 - General Knowledge part 3 34- Dinosaurs 35- Famous Landmarks 36- Weird World Records 37- Emojis 38- Summer FREE SAMPLE IF YOU WANT TO TRY IT FIRST https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/house-tutor-time-quiz-sample-quiz-13-games-1205490517

Core practical workbooks including all of the required practicals for Edexcel combined and separate/triple sciences. The workbook includes exam style questions for each section so they can be RAG rated. They style of question varies for each practical so the students will practice all of the necessary skills. There are links to videos and simulations which I DO NOT take credit for. This helps students revise or catch up if they have been absent. The practicals are: Investigating force, mass and acceleration Investigating waves Investigating refraction Investigating radiation Investigating resistance Investigating density investigating springs

Resource contains scheme of work with technician notes and specification objectives to be covered (these are from the exam spec). Practical notes to technicians are also included so you know what equipment to order each time. Lesson 1 - Energy recap from Paper 5 (Topic 3) Lesson 2 - Work and Power including mini practical Lesson 3 - Forces affecting each other including mini practical. Lesson 4 (HIGHER TIER ONLY) - Vector diagrams including a silly example the students will (hopefully) love. Minealways remember the ‘rubber duck lesson’. Lesson 5 (TRIPLE ONLY) - Turning forces (Moments, levers and gears).

Full topic with resources, including teaching powerpoint aznd a specification for the technicians to follow. Homework sheets also included.

New Separate sciece only topic in astronomy for the new 2016 Edexcel physics topic 7. Includes full lessons with activities on: The Solar system Life-cycles of stars Red-shift Theories of the Universe It also includes revision and feedback activites for just before and just after the test. I had lots of fun making this one!

1 PowerPoint that includes all lessons for both combined and separate science pathways in the new GCSE specification 2016. I have used these resources with a top set triple year 10 group and a bottom set year 9 group with good results so it is well differentiated where possible. If any resources are mentioned but NOT included it is because I did not make them and therefore am not selling them. Check out the free resource part of my page to find it, or contact me and I will send it to you! This includes the tests/assessments. Revision resources are also included.

2 PowerPoints; one for Combined and one for the Separate science course as they are quite different. I have used these resources with a top set triple year 10 group and a bottom set year 9 group with good results so it is well differentiated where possible. If any resources are mentioned but NOT included it is because I did not make them and therefore am not selling them. Check out the free resource part of my page to find it, or contact me and I will send it to you! This includes the tests/assessments.

Full unit of work covering both Higher and foundation as well as the separate sciences for the new GCSE physics course for Edexcel (9-1). Mentioned worksheets or activities are included, as well as a specification for technicians to help with equipment orders and requisitions. Where possible, all lessons are fully resources and differentiated. I have used these lessons with a top set triple award class, and a bottom set combined group. Test assessments are includes, but they are just a mix of the questions given by Pearson, so I cannot claim ownership of these. They have been separated into sections to give a PLC for each student for revision purposes.

All lessons required for both combined and separate sciences with all resources mentioned attached and differentiated activities (e.g. plenaries) The lessons follow the new Edexcel textbook so you can use these as well if necessary. 1 - Atomic Models 2 - Inside the atom 3 - Electrons and orbits 4 - Background Radiation 5 - Types of Radiation 6 - Radioactive decay 7 - Half-life 8 (TRIPLE ONLY) Using Radioactivity 9 - Dangers of Radioactivity 10 - Radioactivity in medicine 11 - Nuclear Energy 12 - Nuclear Fission 13 - Nuclear Fusion.

Full topic following the specification points for the new 9-1 GCSE in Combined science and Physics for Edexcel. All lessons are in 1 large presentation, clearly showing the progression of the module and linking previous ideas to new ones. There are clear links to forces (Topic 2), radioactivity (topic 6) and Electricity (topic 11). - 8 ish hours for this topic, but revision/test/feedback can be condensed if necessary. Differentiated tasks - There are opportunities to challenge high abilities given on the slides in red boxes with numerous pit-stops or mini plenaries in every lesson. Lessons include: - Conservation of energy - Energy Efficiency - Keeping Warm - Non-renewable sources - Renewable sources - Revision This Resource also includes a homework task. The assessment for this lesson has been given by Pearson, and is therefore not included in this resource.
