This resource is a complete CPD for staff in science departments. It has everything you need, so that the staff are able to plan effective misconception lessons. This is where misconceptions are exposed, challenged and hopefully overcome. If contains: 27 page ppt to lead the training Misconceptions sorted into Topics and Key stages (so they can easily be inserted into SoW) Full overcoming Forces Misconceptions Lesson (worth £2) Seven activites for Teachers (interactive or participatory) Numerous examples of how activities can be incorporated into lessons or lessons adapted to obtain and challenge expectations. An editable Word version of one of my most downloaded resources (Misconceptions Booklet) so that parts of it can be taken out and used for training. If you’re looking for a Teacher only Toolkit (it’s basically all the resources here minus the CPD activities) click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/misconceptions-teacher-toolkit-resource-12447706 Please comment if you have found this useful Thank you.

This resources consists of photographs and exam style questions with a completed graphic organiser helpsheet. This is aimed at AQA students to encourage them to practice exam style questions on required practicals anytime during the lesson. The questions are specifically generic so they can be asked about almost any of the practicals and consequently they do not need to go next to any particular one, producing over 400 combinations of questions with images. The questions are colour coded for different levels with Red-Hard, Orange-Medium and Green-Easier (one could say differentiated, but one would be stretching the truth). Also included is the required practical placemat (worth a whole £1!) to help your students answer the questions on the display. Suggestions for Activities: I generally sit my students round the display and then ask them to chose a question and I (or another student) choose a practical or vice versa. Then we discuss the answer as a class or nominate another student or practical or question, (or stick them round my board and let the display soak into their minds through osmosis / diffusion or ask a question as a plenary) The set of images and questions can be printed smaller and students and given to groups of students who turn them face down and turn two over, an image and a question, which they then answer. This game works well and makes the question and required practical more random (like the exam). Font size is set at 80 pt so that it can be seen at about 10 feet away (Approx 72 pt per 10 ft of distance is the rule) I hope you find this resource useful Thank you for reading this far.

This lesson is educational (but fun) that can be used as a normal lesson, but also as an end of term revision lesson. It is aimed at KS3 or lower ability KS4. It lasts approximately 1 hour and has 4 group challenges and a whole class challenge at the end. No knowledge of the Periodic table needed, but if they have, it can be used as a revision lesson. It is a science lesson version of my Escape Room Periodic Table lesson (for the same price) that can be found here (be careful it’s a bit scary): https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/elements-and-the-periodic-table-escape-room-challenge-12193939 It includes: Lesson Plan (it doesn’t need a lab) Clues for students to find elements, their symbols and their position on the Periodic Table in terms of periods and groups. Problem solving challenges Fun Game of Splat at the end. It also uses their knowledge of reactivity of groups 1 and 7 for solving some of the clues. Please comment. I hope you find this resource useful. Thank You.

This resource is a graded (levelled) collection of all the questions from the recent AQA paper (F and H 2019) divided into Foundation and Higher and all 10 AQA topics: Atomic structure and the periodic table, Bonding, structure, and the properties of matter, Quantitative chemistry, Chemical changes, Energy changes, The rate and extent of chemical change, Organic chemistry, Chemical analysis, Chemistry of the atmosphere and Using resources. Each question has been summarised, graded, coded (from the specification) and colour coded for AO1, 2 or 3.

This is an another updated version of my most downloaded free Physics resource. Designed for KS4 and based on AQA working scientifically and AQA style exam questions with model answers. Not only graded but with extra planning! It is used all the way through the required practical, from planning, practical, analysis and exam style questions. This resource comes with: 32 ppt slide to project in lessons Word and pdf versions of the students sheet and question sheets. Answer sheets to allow the students to self or peer assess. On the top right hand corner of the sheet the students can identify areas where they need to improve so that teachers can easily see which section they are having trouble with. All other physics required practical sheets are currently being updated with ppt and will be available shortly.

This is a GCSE Physics resource for KS3 and KS4. It follows the new AQA Science course. It encourages students to think about the power equation. The practical invites them to calculate if they are more powerful than a kettle by planning a practical and testing it out. Let the students find out if they are more powerful than a kettle, by looking at the Power rating on a kettle and then timing themselves (one at a time) running up a set of stairs. You will find that if you have a high mass (like me) you are more powerful then the students who can run up fast, but not in half the time. They will find out they are not quite as powerful as a kettle and they enjoyed the chance of being able to “run” when they are not normally allowed to do this. If you have found this resource useful, pleas comment and also have a look at my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193

This lesson is used to introduce Physics equations to students. It explains where they come from, how we use them, how to convert the equation into a triangle, so that it can be rearranged. It includes a sheet where equations can be added and analysed when they come across a new one. The worksheet can be stuck in their book and new ones added in when you come across them or used as revision activity. This will allow them to think about it before they use it. Enjoy! Please comment.
