KS3 Activate Science - Electricity and Magnetism Topic Revision

(1)
This is a revision worksheet that summarises the above topic from the Activate 2 Science books for KS3 Year 8. I have also included page numbers from those books where applicable to ease the finding of the content for the questions. Also included is an extension task of writing new questions based on the content that the class can peer test with

Hooke's Law 6 Mark Question Extended Writing Assessment Task - Aimed at KS3/Low KS4

(0)
These two resources are to be used as part of a Physics Forces topic as an assessment of sorts. The class are to answer the 6 mark question using the success criteria provided, then you will take these home to mark and assess a level achieved. I have also provided my assessment feedback generator that I have made to tackle some common problems I encountered. You simply copy in your class list and assign them up to 3 WWWs and EBIs from the list (these can be changed if required). This will then generate a printout on the second sheet that you can give to the class to save you writing it all!

In-depth marking WWW , EBI and MRI generator

(0)
This is an assessment feedback generator made to tackle some common problems you may encounter when doing an assessed piece of work. You simply copy in your class list and assign them up to 3 WWWs and EBIs from the list (these can be changed if required). This will then generate a printout on the second sheet that you can give to the class to save you writing it all! I have left this one populated with some responses that I used as an example - it was for a Hooke's Law 6 mark Question (this can be found packaged together with this generator) This can be adapted to any topic or task and will drastically cut down on your writing during assessment and still provide in depth guidance!

This is my KS3 presentation on indicators and how to complete the red cabbage experiment. Very simple to read and understand and is best suited for the lower end of year 7/8. It also goes into indicator paper and an experiment worksheet and assessment worksheet is included on the powerpoint.
Revision of Particle Model of Matter - AQA 2016 New Physics Specification

Revision of Particle Model of Matter - AQA 2016 New Physics Specification

(1)
This is intended as a revision worksheet summary of the particle model topic in AQA Physics 2016. This only includes the content relevant to combined science, not Trilogy (I have made a separate one for this.) Print it out back to back to save on paper. I have used the AQA specification to create all of these questions and as such should not be missing anything major from the topic. The last slide are question cards you can hand out as an extension for students who finish to make their own questions for their peers.

Forces and their Interactions Revision sheet - AQA Physics New Specification topic (Part 1)

(0)
This is a revision task intended to summarise the first half of the forces topic on the new AQA Physics specification. I have used the specification itself to ensure I covered as much as possible, and I have also tailored this worksheet to the combined science specification. Physics trilogy students will need to use a different worksheet (which I have made). The forces topic is very large so I am splitting the revision of it into two as it does split quite nicely. Print this back to back to reduce paper wastage. The last slide is an extension task - students can cut out these question cards and write their own questions using the revision sheet to help them. These can then be passed to other members of the group.

KS3 Cells Revision sheets for Activate Science

This is a summary sheet designed for use with the Activate Science books for KS3. I have put the numbers where relevant to help the searching of the necessary content. I have also included an extension task sheet where students can create and share their own questions on the topic.
Lesson 5 - Current and Resistance - KS3 Electricity

Lesson 5 - Current and Resistance - KS3 Electricity

(0)
This is the first lesson in the SoW that needs an equation - it’s a required to remember equation for AQA physics. The lesson is a calculation heavy lesson and fistly models how to use power triangles and equations, then the students can attempt a differentiated demonstrate task. The most able students will likely need an extension task, so have one to hand. I have two free resources from the SoW if you would like to see how I structure these lessons. Please visit my shop to find them.
Lesson 6 - Resistance of a Wire - KS3 Electricity

Lesson 6 - Resistance of a Wire - KS3 Electricity

(0)
This is an experiment brought down from GCSE to KS3 so that the students can have an early taste of a required practical. The class will have the majority of the lesson to complete the lengthy experiment after you have shown the modelling slides and demonstrated the experiment yourself. This lesson is followed up with a large mid-topic assessment piece. The lesson can be done in 50 mins, but could over run. Included are the ppt and learning mat. I have two free resources from the SoW if you would like to see how I structure these lessons. Please visit my shop to find them.

WWW and EBI Generator

(0)
This is the generic generator I use to create WWW and EBI comments for a class. You populate the list with student names and fill in 6 different WWWs and EBIs for a given topic. then number the students appropriately. On sheet 2, the printouts will appear. simply print from here and done!

Nuclear Power - Location debate lesson - AQA Physics 2016 Spec - Energy Topic

(0)
This is a fully resourced lesson covering both the positives and negatives of nuclear power as a source of energy, but then goes deeper into the ethics and justifications for where we build them. The main purpose of this is to help develop more higher order thinking about the topic as groups will be tasked to evaluate and justify their choice of site and be able to articulate effective reasoning. There is also a third task of peer assessment - using a success criteria, the "site selection committee" are then put under scrutiny from the "HM Government" and they have to decide if they made a persuasive enough argument. It's all made up to be rather thought provoking and fun. Possibly more suited to higher ability in it's current form, but could easily be scaffolded for lower ability classes. I work in the North West, so unfortunately that's the map you've got! You could easily replace it with your own if you wish with no problems though.
AQA Physics Equations Quiz Pack

AQA Physics Equations Quiz Pack

(1)
This is a total of 13 quizzes, with answers that are designed to cover the 23 equations students are required to remember for the AQA specification. I also include exam question style questions, units questions and a few of the given equations as well. Answers are provided at the end. (sometimes in letter form, sometimes in word form) I used these as starters once a week with my year 11 classes last year and I kept a running tally of scores for my classes. It really helped cement their equation revision! At £10, you are getting these starters for less than £1 per resource. They take approximately 10-15 mins to complete and mark, to this is in total over 3 hours of lesson resources.
AQA Physics Equation List

AQA Physics Equation List

(0)
This is a handy sheet you may want to provide your classes - a simple to read list of all the equations required to be remembered for the AQA Physics 2016 curriculum. There is only one HT equation and this has been highlighted. This is not the definitive list as there are more that WILL be provided in the exam, however I felt it necessary to equip my students as best I could so they can revise these.

Revision of Waves Topic - Combined Science and Physics Only - AQA Physics New 2016 Specification

(4)
This is intended as a revision worksheet summary of the Waves topic in AQA Physics 2016. This includes the content relevant to the Trilogy and the Combined Science award. I have managed to keep them on separate pages, so simply print the pages you require (page 2 is Physics Only). I have used the AQA specification to create all of these questions and as such should not be missing anything major from the topic. The last slide are question cards you can hand out as an extension for students who finish to make their own questions for their peers.

Lesson 2 - Modelling Circuits - KS3 Electricity

(3)
This resource contains a powerpoint and an learning mat. The content is a 50 min lesson on different models of circuit (for non specialists, I have included a slide at the start that may be useful). The idea is simply to demonstrate the models and evaluate each one. There are extra activities/printouts at the end of the powerpoint if needed. I have also included the learning mat that goes with this lesson that can be stuck into books.
