This is designed for students completing GCSE and specifically aim at students who need extra support. So from the low ability groups to mid ability groups. Grades 1 - 6. These work well along side my less structured 6 mark templates for the higher ability groups which focus on what they know and how they are going to use that information. This resource is a designed to be quick to set up (with exam pro or existing 6 mark questions - paste them into the template), aid the student on how to structure there answer, write in feedback, from which they can then write an excellent response to the question. They also work along side a metacognitive approach. Students do not answer the questions yet! Students will need there ppt printed out but both slides on one sheet. This makes it easier to trim down and glue in books as a piece of formative assessment and also as a task on one side. My students love these. Instructions are on the ppt. 1.When showing this on the board, go through the tasks that need to be completed once they have read the question. 2. Students will need to then go through the tasks on their sheet and tick when completed. This will mimic how students should break down a long style (6 mark) answer. 3. Discuss what the students have come up with – if possible write down there ideas on the board on the ppt. 3. Then show ideas once they have completed the table on their sheet.

This is an effective way show students how to approach and write 6 mark questions. These work very well along side my more structured 6 mark template approach - which is not sold as part of this set. Students love these. This resource is a designed to be quick to set up (with exam pro or existing 6 mark questions), aid the student on how to structure there answer, write in feedback, from which they can then write an excellent response to the question. You will need to add in the 6 mark question of choice (paste it in). It consists of three slides. the first one is the student copy. step 1) Students do not write in the answer but write in the ideas and connectives that will them answer. Step 2) from exampro, the ideas or statements from the 6 mark answer will be in the ideas box. Students write in feedback and corrections in green. Step 3) students then write the answer. Give a time limit. Step 4) mark and give back feedback. I found this to be really powerful, particularly in step 2 with the metacognitive phase. I have thrown in an example to show you how to do it.

This lesson can be used from mid to HA year 7/8/9 and also low to mid ability KS4. It contains worksheets and also capacity for assessment and whole group/individual progress tracking during the lesson. It also has the model answers within the ppt as well.

These resources sheets (A5) are designed to cover the objectives of a lesson. They are designed to make students focus on specific reliable supported resources that will help them develop there understanding whilst they are preparing for future tasks. They are aimed specifically at all KS3 students but can very much be used for low to middle ability kS4 students. They can be used to prepare students prior to a lesson which can then allow you to go deeper into a subject. They help support students if they are completing presentations, good home based distance learning resources. Each resource has links to written and youtube sources. Each resource has differentiated objectives (by outcome), each resource has suggestions on how they could be used to present, mentor and deliver the content they have learned. These resources are covered: current and charge; endo and exothermic reactions; exam question technique; forces; photosynthesis; interdependence; graph skills; reactivity series and displacement; respiration; voltage and resistance. The ppt slides will need to be scaled to fit.

These are designed to be used for when students come into class, similar to ‘do it now’ tasks. The starters can be photocopied and handed to students, or can be just completed in books. Once students have had 10 minutes, you can show them the model answers which are also part of the resource. Date on the slides automatically change. Each sheet focuses on two equations (six questions in total): 1) What is the equation triangle 2) What are the units 3) Example question to complete. Its perfect to build students memory, confidence and recognising what equation is needed to be used in what situation. Each sheet has model answers so that students can correct there work there and then! My students have really enjoyed and appreciated them This set covers all Trilogy equations in P1 (AQA), which is virtually every Triple (Single) Physics equation in P1. The resources comes with two resource sheets to help students when completing the task. Each starter quiz has the date automatically changed on the day of use. At the end the student will have a full P1 resource of equations, units and model answers. This resource is also great if you are making a department or Science group push on equations. P2 and P1 now available as a bundle!!

This lesson is all about how scale, units and standard form is used in Science. It uses ideas from microscopy, atoms and space and gets students to think about how scale, units and standard form can be used in science. The lesson is primarily used to prepare year 9’s for GCSE just before they start GCSE content. However it can be used for years 8 - year 11. Grades 2 - 8. Includes handouts, worksheets, differentiation, model answers, starter and plenary. The lesson is a two parter if the task on the solar system is completed. The lesson is designed to be engaging and interesting, incorporating many key ideas in science: the atom, solar system, microscopy, ways to go to calculate one unit to another. I can recognise what some science and mathematical prefixes are and appreciate scale I can describe how convert one unit into another for example metres to nanometres. I can explain how to convert numbers up (including in unfamiliar situations) and use standard form. Starter Discussion on measuring and scale Group and building solar system task based on measurements and scale. worksheet. Model answers and feedback plenary

Students find writing and expressing Science ideas hard. This an easy to refer to (tried and tested) guide for students. This is a resource that shows students how to write and break down a sentence when expressing a science idea at different levels and grades. This resource uses models of science sentences to do that, and its presented in a way that can be stuck in a glued in student books at the start of the year and then referred to. My student have found this invaluable and I also got in the habit of referring to it to help students. On this is also a guide to the written skills and the grades that the written grade for science might gain. This makes it a valuable reference sheet for KS3 and KS4.

These are designed to be used for when students come into class, similar to ‘do it now’ tasks. The starters can be photocopied and handed to students, or can be just completed in books. Once students have had 10 minutes, you can show them the model answers which are also part of the resource. Date on the slides automatically change.

My students have really enjoyed and appreciated them This set covers all Trilogy equations in P2 (AQA), which is virtually every Triple (Single) Physics equation in P2. The resources comes with two resource sheets to help students when completing the task. Each starter quiz has the date automatically changed on the day of use. At the end the student will have a full P2 resource of equations, units and model answers. This resource is also great if you are making a department or Science group push on equations. P1 and P2 as a bundle for cheaper overall. 15 starters (lessons) approx.

This a short formative assessment task designed to be a short task and also quick to mark. This is a great resource to make the student reflect and for you to assess their understanding of distance time graphs and velocity time graphs. Its also good to spot the errors and misconceptions which might because DT and VT graphs are similar. All you need to do is highlight the areas that you think your student needs to improve upon. This can also be used as a good Home work activity.

These resources are designed to help students develop knowledge of what the keywords in Physics means and get them to practice independence (research) skills to find out what they mean. These resources are designed to act as homework sheets, which can easily be printed off on A4 and then easily marked in class. They can also be used as research formative assessment sheets in class. These sheets are designed in a format which can quickly and easily be further differentiated depending on group and needs of the group. Each sheet has model answers which can be shown in class and students can write in instant feedback. Topics included are: Energy, Particle model matter, Atomic Structure and Radiation, Electricity. These topics and word sheets are specifically aimed at the AQA GCSE course P1, however they cross over easily into other specifications. My classes have really appreciated them, especially those classes who find it hard managing the amount of jargon needed to be understood in Physics. These students also found it reassuring partcularly when physics got too mathsy or abstract for them.

These cards are designed to be specifically used in Science but can quickly and easily be adapted for any subject. One set is for Low ability and another set for high ability. This task is designed to reinforce, consolidate, challenge and get students to think more deeply about ideas. These question cards are based on blooms. The resource is colourful and engaging (small) pack of cards with question prompts (sentence starters) that will prompt another students to ask another student insightful questions based on information that the teacher has given them. Each card has 5 question starters approx. Each card has a point score so students can get competitive and score themselves. There is a task slide to slide for lessons or that can be easily slotted into ppt. Each slide is one set of cards with the exception of the LA cards, one slide is two sets. One pack is for low to mid ability and one pack is for Mid to High ability. This is a great way to get students to look back at work to develop, think and extend there understanding. My students really enjoyed this resource and progressed as a result. These cards are good at developing critical thinking and when used over a period of time, great confidence and oral skills within the subject. Top tip! I would ask students to read key parts of lesson material or paragraphs first so students can easily locate the information they need to ask other student questions.

This is a fast paced broken down lesson that is aimed at students for grades 3 - 9. This lesson covers the objectives: I can describe what is meant by kinetic energy and how to calculate it. I can calculate kinetic energy in exam style questions and in a practical situation. I can re-arrange equations and apply ideas about kinetic energy to objects that move. The lesson has a jigsaw to start the lesson off to help students absorb key ideas. This gets copied in books after students have completed and lesson Objectives have been introduced. Has information to introduce students to what kinetic energy is. Modelling how to answer a question. (metacognition aspect). White board activity to assess students (individual and group). Practical. Students apply and use ideas learnt. true or false to score them and assess. Score is then directing students to different parts of a differentiated resource. Has a support sheet. Answer sheet - students to correct in green. Plenary.

This is to go with my KE lesson and there is a heavy focus on the maths and the workings out of GPE. Starter slides 2 and 3. Jigsaw or (settler) do it now task. The settler task is used as a plenary to be adjusted at the end of the lesson. aims and intro. introducing the information - links to videos to stimulate discussion if needed. Modelling how to work out GPE. Whiteboard activity where students get to try - next slide with answers. Questions get harder as they go on. see white boards assess individuals as well as group and feedback areas to improve. True or false - score will dictate worksheet starting points. Differentiation for the individual. Answer to the worksheets - students correct in green. Plenary - go back over the starting task and improve. This allows you to measure progress and help students as individuals with any possible feedback. My students found this useful and gave them more focus and confidence when looking at the calculations.

This lesson is on Density. It its aimed at KS4 students but can be used for high able KS3 students. It has worksheets and assessment opportunities at the start, middles and during the lesson. The worksheets have model answers. It is has many metacogntive parts to this lesson.

Quick Generic Science HWK activities for all abilities. All you need to do is add the information needed for the task. This could be an image, bunch of words, links to videos, a couple of questions. This PPT has 6 different home work activities that can be quickly edited, uploaded or printed off. These have been designed with the busy teacher in mind but not sacrificing the quality of the home work for the students. Each task is differentiated by outcome and all the students need to do is follow the task, number by number. They are easy and quick to mark as well. Highlight the the task (WWW) that they did well in one colour and highlight the task (EBI) that they did not do well. I will always add something specific for the student to focus on. I have trialled these in my class room and the students have enjoyed them. Always encourage them to spend time thinking and research before answering. Plus, because the task are quite short when the students get going, its easy to only accept quality work.

These are support cards that will help students with the: key terms in investigation skills. how to write a method. How top draw a graph and what type of graph How to describe results from line graphs These cards will have sentences starters as well as how to calculate the gradient of graphs.

These home works are designed to be quick to organise and easy to mark, without sacrificing the quality of the home work for the students. All you need to do is add the information required for the home work activity. The instructions are differentiated by outcome and they too can be modified depending on the task. These are quick to edit, upload and print out. My students love these. Marking them is quick. Highlight in one colour the task which is a WWW and in another colour an EBI. I always try and give a sentence or two that is specific to the student. This makes it easier to hand the home work back quickly and for the students to respond to their feedback.

This is a lesson with differentiated resources. This is designed for those departments who may not have enough equipment or need to have lessons purely focused on calculations. This is aimed at all abilities. The lesson does have a metacognitive edge. starter students will read the cartoon strip. 3 mins. Teacher will spend a good amount of time using targeted questioning stemming from the differentiated questions. Write key words on board Introduce lessons. Write down the writing in purple in books. Model calculation. Students then check understanding with whiteboard examples. You assess and give feedback. Students make mental not of score. Score then give the students an idea of what point to start on differentiated sheets. Students have 5 mins to work out in pairs how what is being asked and then have an approach. Students complete the questions. students go through answers.

This is a resource that covers all of P1 and P2 Trilogy. Each slide covers the whole of one topic and has 12 sections with revision tasks. Topics include: Energy, Particle model of matter, Electricity, Atomic structure (radiation), forces, forces and motion, waves and electromagnetism. Each slide and topic is differentiated and is broken down into bite size but significant tasks. Green tasks low able; orange mid; more challenging. Each topic includes activities on required practicals, equations and general subject knowledge. One slide is designed for one hourly lesson. The task type is also varied to make the resources more interesting. The students can choose the task they do and this can also be made to be competitive. The last slide has a grid (that gets frozen on the IWB), which students with small post it notes (names on) place it in the star score box that they have gained as they have been completing tasks. This also allows for visual assessment (individual and group). The score is gained by the number of stars they have achieved from the sheet. These are designed to allow the student to develop subject knowledge first and foremost, which can then be used to answer exam style questions. They will need there exercise books and possibly text books to support them. I have tried this with my students and they all love the format and has proved effective when helping them to revise. The competitive element (which can be used or not) has also been enjoyed and has made revision more enjoyable. Year 11’s really like this. Biology to come soon!
