Life cycle assessment revision
Made for the Edexcel specification.
However the overlap to AQA is essentially the same
Contents: basic explanation and PEQs, both from edexcel and AQA for quantity
Evaluate the advantages of recycling metals, including economic implications and how recycling can preserve both the environment and the supply of valuable raw materials [4.10]
Describe that a life-cycle assessment for a product involves consideration of the effect on the environment of obtaining the raw materials, manufacturing the product, using the product and disposing of the product when it is no longer useful [4.11]
Evaluate data from a life cycle assessment of a product [4.12]
Electricity revision - current and voltage
Made for Edexcel - however the same content is in AQA
Learning objectives - spec points
Draw circuit diagrams using the correct symbols [10.2]
Describe the difference between series and parallel circuits [10.3]
Define voltage and describe how to correctly connect a voltmeter in a circuit [10.4-5]
Define current and describe how to correctly connect an ammeter in a circuit [10.7/8]

Lucy from 3.2 million years ago
Leakey’s discovery of fossils from 1.6 million years ago
Describe the evidence for human evolution based on stone tools [4.5]
the development of stone tools over time
how these can be dated from their environment

Adaptations - applied to novel contexts - Nudibranch
This is an exam style question I have written myself
It is ideal for use with for pre GCSE revision
Quite often our students cannot apply concepts out of normal context and the more practice they can get the better
This question covers
respiration
surface area
adaptations for survival
VCSRG (Natural selection)
Please give feedback so I know if I shoudl continue to keep making these.
Constructive feedback welcome for mark scheme answers
