Free resource made up of bits and bobs with free licences. I do not take credit for some of the content.
Simply add in your chosen year paper and mark scheme. You can choose a tier and only have one. Otherwise, it is a bit of a tree!
Science controlled assessment flowchart - split into sections. Each section that can be marked is in a separate box. Parts A, B and C are different colours. Will help pupils to access more marks when it is time for the real thing!
EDIT: "Dependent variable(s)" should have been "Control variable(s)". Now changed.
Writing frame to help pupils in KS3 or bottom set GCSE groups get to grips with how to write parts of an investigation.
Pink sections are the higher tier sections. Pupils can work up to these.
Up to 2 hours of christmas related activities with a fun challenge to appeal to all age groups and abilities.
The first set of activities are fully differentiated, where pupils can chose their challenge. If they complete a lower challenge, they get less points, but there is a first finisher bonus. The choice is theirs. There is also a science reindeer classification key activity.
The second set of activities are a little more crafty with mathematics and symmetry coming in to one of the activities. There are also different challenges for different amounts of points.
Pupils could work individually or alone.
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.
3 physics (P2) 6 mark questions and writing frames for 3 past paper questions from Edexcel. Mix of higher and foundation tier. Mark schemes included.
Questions content:
Resistors and current (LDR and thermistor)
Explaining and the uses of static electricity.
Stopping distance, including F=ma, P=mv and E=Fd
Can be printed back to back to be set as revision homework. Can be used as class activity.
These were used on a revision day and were very well received by pupils.
Revision PowerPoint for use with a mixed ability year 11 class. Covers all objectives from the Edexcel Additional Physics topic 5 on Radioactivity.
All activities mentioned on the PowerPoint are on the activity document, where pupils can work at it after you have covered/revised the content. There is also exam practice on the document.
This booklet is set out lesson by lesson. Students can either take this home and do it themselves or you can go through it question by question in class.
There are a variety of differentiated activities and the activities are all different.
Content covered:
Radiation in medicine (PET scans)
Intensity
How eyes work
Lenses and the lens equation
Sight problems
Distance and image height PCA
Reflection
Refraction
Critical angle
Total internal reflection
Using reflection and refraction (ultrasounds)
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).
3 physics (P2) 6 mark questions and writing frames for 3 past paper questions from Edexcel. Mix of higher and foundation tier. Mark schemes included.
Questions content:
Application of knowledge about alpha, beta and gamma radiation.
Kinetic energy graph with conservation of energy and energy transfers.
Process of nuclear fission of Uranium 235 and the energy transfers in a nuclear power station.
Can be printed back to back to be set as revision homework. Can be used as class activity.
These were used on a revision day and were very well received by pupils.
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.
Four 6 mark writing frames for Edexcel P3 topic 1-4.
Could be used as a homework or as revision for the upcoming physics exam!
Topics are:
Endoscopes and other methods (fluoroscopes, gamma, x-ray)
Sight problems
Collisions
ECGs
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

10 - Radioactivity in medicine
11 - Nuclear Energy
12 - Nuclear Fission
13 - Nuclear Fusion.
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.
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.
The Easter bunny has been murdered by another bunny! Possibly a jealous or overworked one.
There are 5 clues (a couple with science themes) for the teams to figure out to lead them to the final clue. When they have completed the puzzle, they can begin crossing suspects off the list to find the killer!
There really is minimal effort required from the teacher. Set it up, introduce the murder and let them compete. Just tick the team’s box when they have finished each clue and advance the slide to give the answer when the time runs out.
Includes:
PowerPoint presentation leading pupils through the Case brief and clues. Also includes answers.
Anagram code for clue 1
Crossword sheet and answers for clue 2.
Wordsearch for clue 4
Speed calculation sheet for clue 5.
CSI case brief
Front cover for the murder file
List of suspects and information
NB: Clue 3 is found in the presentation so you can edit the names if you like! It is a classification key.
