Review - Analysis - Progress
These are used as a structured revision homework for students.
They are written for the current AQA scheme and currently only include Core and Additional topics.
Please let me know how useful you find these.
These are useful literacy resources for marking extended pieces of writing in science. The first document is best printed as 2 per A4 sheet and can be attached to students work to aid feedback.
The second document is best printed on A3 as posters for display to provide information for students when undertaking extended pieces of writing. It can also be printed much smaller and provided as an insert for the students' books or files.
Please let me know how useful you find these resources.
Useful posters and student sheets to provide support when students are assessing each others work and providing feedback.
Can be used in conjunctions with PAWs.
Please let me know how useful you find these.
Science Terminology Analysis Report posters.
These are the key words associated with current AQA scheme.
These are best printed A3 and can be used in conjunction with the STAR exit pass.
Please let me know how useful you find these.
These are a set of posters I designed for displaying around our faculty. The idea is to catch the students' attention. Work best if regularly swapped around.
Let me know how useful you find these.
The exit passes are best printed 4 per A4 sheet. There are multiple copies as each has a separate interesting science fact on it.
The table toppers are best done on A4 and laminated. These can be left on tables for the duration of the lesson and any questions the students have can be written on them.
Both these resources are in response to the requirement to encourage students to have a curiosity about science.
As usual please provide feedback.
Exactly what it says on the tin! This is an adapted version of a SOLO sequencing HOT map for practicals.It is best printed back to back on A3 paper. Students then plan their practical using one side. Once completed they can then write up their method, comparing this with the original plan.When I have used it I have found students are more likely to write in order to achieve higher SOLO levels.As usual feedback is welcome.
This is a scaffold for providing students with regular no-stakes testing of their Chemistry glossaries. As such it is best used in conjunction with the GCSE Chemistry AQA Glossaries.
It is best printed A3 size; 2 per page and back to back. It also includes my own marking system codes to allow students to fully analyse their own performance. To reduce the stakes to zero then results should not be collected. This allows students to maximise their long term retention.
I have use this type of resource with great effect at KS3, 4 and 5 with small adaptations to suit the relevant glossaries. Excellent method for developing long term retention.
This can be used to test students' retention of key words from their glossaries.
This is best used as a starter to the lesson. 5 key words or phrases can be read from the appropriate glossary. Sheets can be collected in and the words marked for spelling. The definitions can be given a mark out of 2. Once returned the students can check and correct their answers and evaluate their performance using the scaffolded questions.
This resource can be used with any of the glossaries...
KS3 Year 7, KS3 Year 8, KS3 Year 9, GCSE Biology, GCSE Chemistry, GCSE Physics, AS Biology or A2 Biology.
This also works well when used regularly in conjunction with Quick quiz templates.
Best printed A4, 2 per side and back to back. They can then be cut in half. If folded the section including name and date can then be stuck down into exercise books at a later stage. (Far quicker to mark these loose rather than pre-stuck into books!)
This includes an Assessment without levels grid (student version and staff version) and a feedback sheet.
The statements are all coded to reduce workload when providing feedback to students. The statements are also matched to SOLO taxonomy, new GCSE grades and old KS3 levels.
The statements are generic rather than explicit which allows for fewer statements.
Contains all the key words and definitions for the KS3 Year 8 science course.
Best used in conjunction with Quick quiz sheets and definition sheets.
Glossary also contains suggested SOLO linked revision strategies.
Quick quiz sheet also incudes marking system so students can analyse their results to a greater depth.
Students have found this resource and the others suggested invaluable in supporting their long term retention of key information.
Contains all the key words and definitions for the KS3 Year 7 science course.
Best used in conjunction with Quick quiz sheets and definition sheets.
Glossary also contains suggested SOLO linked revision strategies.
Quick quiz sheet also incudes marking system so students can analyse their results to a greater depth.
Students have found this resource and the others suggested invaluable in supporting their long term retention of key information.
Contains all the key words and definitions for the whole AQA KS4 Chemistry course. Includes those particularly for separate science (identified).
Best used in conjunction with Quick quiz sheets and definition sheets.
Also supported by Quiz quiz trade cards.
All words are numbered on both the Quiz quiz trade cards and the glossaries themselves.
Glossary also contains suggested SOLO linked revision strategies.

12 A3 (or smaller!) posters containing all the Chemistry KS4 glossary words. Work well in conjunction with Glossaries, Quick quizzes and Quiz quiz trade cards.
Review - Analysis - Progress
These are used as a structured revision homework for students.
They are written for the new Chemistry (examined from 2018) AQA scheme.
Material aimed only for Separate science is indicated.
I have used these to great effect in order to ensure students use more focussed revision
Contains the quick quiz templates for Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
Best used in conjunction with the following resources…
Glossaries
Quiz quiz trade cards
SOLO hexagons
Definition templates
This is the GSCE chemistry glossary resource translated into Arabic. (Primarily matched to the AQA course). It is best used in conjunction with the standard English version. All words and phrases are numbered and match across both languages. There are suggested methods to revise the words. The glossaries are also matched with quiz quiz trade cards and SOLO hexagons for possible classroom activities. Physics and Biology are also available as are other translated languages. As I don’t speak this language please excuse any mistakes in translation!
