PAPER 6 REVISION FT (Edexcel Combined Science FOUNDATION TIER)

This is a fully-resourced lesson which uses exam-style questions, engaging quiz competitions, quick tasks and discussion points to challenge students on their understanding of the content of topics P1 & P8 - P15, that will assessed on PAPER 6. It has been specifically designed for students on the Edexcel GCSE Combined Science course who will be taking the FOUNDATION TIER examinations but is also suitable for students taking the higher tier who need to ensure that the fundamentals are known and understood.

The lesson has been written to cover as many specification points as possible but the following sub-topics have been given particular attention:

• The 13 recall and apply equations tested in PAPER 6
• Electrical components and symbols
• Setting up an ammeter and voltmeter in a circuit
• Current and potential difference in a series circuit
• The change in resistance in a LDR, diode, thermistor and filament bulb
• Mains domestic supply in the UK
• Plugs and fuses as safety devices
• Contact and non-contact forces
• Attraction and repulsion in magnets
• Magnetic fields
• Changes of state as physical changes
• The extension of a spring

In order to maintain challenge whilst ensuring that all abilities can access the questions, the majority of the tasks have been differentiated and students can ask for extra support when they are unable to begin a question. A revision quiz, consisting of 10 rounds, runs over the course of the lesson and a score sheet is included with the resources to maintain motivation and engagement.

Due to the extensiveness of this revision lesson, it is estimated that it will take in excess of 3 teaching hours to complete the tasks and therefore this can be used at different points throughout the course as well as acting as a final revision before the PAPER 6 exam.
