I am a science teacher in Liverpool and have been head of department and senior leadership. I have put resources on here that I know will be beneficial to both individual teachers and middle managers. I'm aware of the time constraints and the resources are to reduce workload as well as inform.

This is lesson 7 of a set of 7 lessons that cover 4.6.2 of the new GCSE AQA Biology curriculum. It follows the Oxford book chapter 14 in its chronology.
Each lesson has an interactive PowerPoint, a pupil worksheet(s) linked to the work in the PowerPoint and a linked past paper question with mark scheme (the Publisher original of the worksheet is also added so you differentiate accordingly should you wish). The PowerPoint has a starter that leads on from the previous lessons learning. The student worksheet incorporates the learning in the lesson. The worksheets can be used to show progress and/or be cut up and stuck in books to avoid unnecessary diagram drawing etc. and use the time for deeper understanding.
The lessons can be bought individually or as a bundle for the lot.
Since the declaration that GCSE Science pupils wont be able to use equations sheets in future exams, I have been thinking of a system that will help them learn the equations and help staff in facilitating that learning. I have devised this. It is supposed to be used as a starter / plenary for pupils to go over and over and try to implant the equations over time. I will use it in every lesson, parrot fashion for success!
This is not board specific as they all will need to learn them, and can be used for the current legacy GCSE students too as a revision resource.
This PowerPoint has 10 multiple choice questions on each of the following aspects, SI UNITS, Kinetic Energy, Power, Gravitational Potential Energy, Efficiency and Specific Heat Capacity. The PowerPoint is interactive and not linear so you can jump to any sets of questions from the home page and do them in any order.
If you would like to have a look at what it looks like there is a free demo that just has the SI questions.
These take some time to make, but I will group the other equations together as I have for the energy equations. I have used the template for my ABCD cards for this endeavour, but you don't need those to utilise these PowerPoints. Be patient, I'm going as fast as I can.
Enjoy.
*If the person who bought the previous version (without the Specific Heat Capacity) leaves a comment with their e-mail, I will send you this newest version)
This is lesson 9 of a set of 10 lessons that cover 4.6.1 of the new GCSE AQA Biology curriculum. It follows the Oxford book chapter 13 in its chronology.

The PowerPoint has a starter that leads on from the previous lessons learning. The Student worksheet incorporates the learning in the lesson.

These are the student cover sheets that describe which AT (assessment techniques) that will be assessed for each practical.
The grading criteria is the one that is used in the official AQA Biology tracker and my own improved tracker that is based on the AQA tracker (you can download it free from my page).
The sheets are generic and in Word format so that you can amend or add your school crest on if needs be.
Here are 10 logic puzzles that can be used in science or maths. They can be used as starters,plenaries or homework.
The idea was for them to be used to get the students to think logically and work through to see the process in a fun way. The snooker ball may need to be explained to some students as they might not know the values of the coloured balls.
I have put together a complete system of resources that will allow staff to easily record and monitor the required practical aspect of the new GCSE science that is replacing the old ISA coursework.
The resources include Whole Class Practical Tracker, Pupil Cover Sheets for Each of the Practicals (10 required practical sheets) and an 'On-The-Day' Practical sheets (again one for each of the 10 Biology practicals), for the teacher to use in class during the practical to record the Apparatus and Technique (AT) skills that each pupil has to be competent with in Biology. This bundle covers the 10 required Biology practicals needed for the Combined Science and BIOLOGY GCSEs.
All of the resources compliment each other, use the key coding for assessment to reduce workload and make things easy.
I have mirrored the A'Level AQA Practical Assessment for the AQA GCSE, it just seemed logical so that the systems are similar.
I have bundled these resources together to make it more cost effective.
If you wish to see how the bundle works and see some screenshots then the instructions are a free download on my page.
Enjoy.

This is the full PowerPoint, but a free demo version only has the questions for 'Acceleration' questions, but you will get a good idea of what the paid product will be like. The GCSE PHYSICS Speed Equations full can be found in my store. It has questions on SI Units Questions, Speed/Distance/Time (v=d/t), Acceleration (a=v/t), Force?mass?Acceleration (F=ma), Kinetic Energy (1/2 m v^2), Wavelength/Frequency (v=ƒ λ) and Momentum (p=mv) HIGHER TIER Only.
There are another demos and full powerpoints on Energy Equations and Electricity Equations on my page. I have used the template for my ABCD cards for this endeavour, but you don't need those to utilise these PowerPoints.

This is lesson 5 of 7 lessons that can be used in part or whole to teach the biology topic of interdependence in animals and plants.
This lesson explains what plants compete for to survive. Modeling gives examples of plants and how they get space, light, water. After the modeling there is opportunity for pupils to apply their knowledge to new examples. Look at how some plants adapt to live in very hot environments. Challenge looks at how leaves are different on different plants and how they help them survive.
These lessons are not board specific and can be used (dependent on ability) from KS3 and KS4.
Lesson 5 - Competition & Adaptations in Plants (THIS LESSON)
THESE ARE ALSO AVAILABLE TO BUY
Lesson 1 - Interdependence & Biodiversity
Lesson 2 - Sampling Plants (Quadrats)
Lesson 3 - Abundance of Animals (sampling techniques)
Lesson 4 - Competition in Animals
Lesson 6 - Adaptations in Animals
Lesson 7 - Predator Prey Population Graphs
Each lesson has a interactive PowerPoint that has a starter and comprehensive explanations that will allow for questioning and discussion. There is a pupil worksheet (both in Publisher for editing, and PDF forms). The worksheet mirrors what has been taught in the lesson. There is a question (and a mark scheme) that can be used to consolidate the learning in the lesson or as homework.
The lesson is labeled in the CLF (common lesson format) so pupils are aware of what that section is about.
I have put together ‘mastery booklets’ that can be used for independent study for pupils to use after a section of the course has been covered. They are designed (with past paper questions and the answers) for the students to complete themselves. This is to help them gain a deeper knowledge without impacting on teacher workload. All the teacher needs to do is record when the students have completed and annotated the booklet.
I have split the 7 sections into the topics for the paper 1 and the paper 2. These could be used for cover work and revision before the exams.
Hope they’re useful.

This is screen shots to show what my AQA Additional Paper Analysis Tool looks like when populated. the tool will collate the 'mock' results and using the actual grade boundaries will give a grade for a) the whole paper, b) individual grades for the Biology, Chemistry and Physics aspects and c) will show the levels of progress the student has made.
This has been invaluable as a monitoring and intervention tool to target individuals and classes that are falling behind.
The actual sheet can be purchased from my page.
I have taken the free AQA Assessed Practical tracker and have improved it.
I have added the AT (Assessed Techniques) definitions and added which AT's are assessed for each practical .
These marks for the AT's are collated in an overview sheet that shows how each student has performed in each assessed practical but also an overview of how they are doing for each AT.
I've tested it with my class and it seems bug free...
