Lesson on Health and the effects of Risk Factors such as alcohol, smoking, diet and exercise on Non Communicable diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Includes activities and discussions for students.

KS3 Electricity Marking Stickers and Feedback Tasks covering the whole topic. There are two different versions of the marking sticker and activities. These are designed for most students with a second version for a very low ability group. Marking stickers: I will Red, Amber, Green each descriptor depending on whether the student has show evidence in their work that they have met this learning objective. The bottom part of the sticker is to tick if there are more generalised areas that students need to work such as presentation. The activities match the learning objectives from the stickers. I normally print these as information booklets with two slides to a page. Students can then flick through to any task numbers that they were Red on in their marking sticker and complete the task as explained in the yellow boxes. This should close the gap for the students in their learning. Please leave a review about how helpful you found this.

Differentiated questions for each lesson in the P4 Electrical Circuits topic for AQA GCSE Physics and answers to go with them. These structure strips are designed to be printed off and glued into students books down the margin and then either used throughout the lesson, or as a task after covering theory, the students work their way through the questions. Not all students will be expected to complete the entire structure strip as it depends on target grades. The questions link directly to the learning objectives and ensure the content is covered and allows students to stretch themselves. They could also be given as homework for consolidation or used for targeted revision. Students find these a great way to ensure they have met their objectives and it makes marking books easier. The questions are split into three main groups: Bronze (Red) questions are targeted at Grade 4 Silver (Amber) questions are targeted at Grade 6 Gold (Green) questions are targeted at Grade 8 Star questions are challenge questions. Structure strips are included for the following lessons; Electrical charges and fields Current and Charge PD and Resistance Component Characteristics Series circuits Parallel circuits Answers are included as a powerpoint presentation for all structure strip questions to allow self or peer assessment by students. If you like this resource, please check out my other resources as I will be uploading more structure strips for both KS3 and KS4 topics and please leave a quick review for my resource. Thanks

Chemical Reactions Lesson for the Year 7 Activate Scheme of Work. It includes a practical circus for students to complete to develop their lab skills and observational skills. Please leave a review.

Potential Difference and Resistance Summary Sheet and Answers Great way to summarise the first section of Year 7 Electromagnets Topic. Matches with the Activate 1 KS3 2018 syllabus. Answers included to allow students to self assess. Please leave a review and take a look at other resources.

B1 Cell Transport and Mitosis Revision Pyramid Activity. Answers are also included to allow for self/peer assessment. Students have to answer as many questions as they can to reach 100 points in a certain time. This is a great activity for revision purposes and allows students to differentiate the level of questioning they answer as different questions are worth different amounts of points with harder questions being worth more.

These resources are for the KS3 topic on Breathing; including smoking, drugs and alcohol. Attached is two resources, the first is the marking sticker. The second is a reference handout for students to use to help them when responding to marking and completing the tasks necessary to fill the gaps in their learning. On the marking sticker, then colour code the different learning outcomes when marking their books as either red, amber or green to make it simple for the pupils to see which outcomes they need to focus on and which they are fine with. Or these stickers could be altered by adding an additional column and using WWW and EBI instead. Both are effective methods of providing feedback for pupils. The bottom two boxes allow for tasks to be set and any more generalised feedback to be provided by ticking any relevant boxes. The second attachment is the resources to be used by the pupils in a feedback lesson (DIRT lesson). I print the slides off two to a page, back-to-back with one between two for pupils. This provides them with the tasks necessary to meet the learning objectives and close any gaps in learning. I find these tasks much easier for pupils to use than simply directing them to textbook pages. Some of the pictures and questions taken from other resources and compiled here. The first slides are worksheets that can be printed off and used by the students. Hope these resources help with your marking and feedback, if so please leave a review and feel free to view other resources I have.
