Currently 32 quizzes of sixteen questions (with a tie breaker, just in case!) for use in tutor time and/or as a house competition in teams. Each week/quiz has a different theme. All answers are included at the end of the PowerPoint, sometimes with additional infomation. UPDATED TO FIX ERRORS. From Quiz 15 onwards, question 10 always has a literacy theme to try to improve whole school literacy. These quizzes fit perfectly in a tutor session and could be run amongst your tutor group or as house teams. There will be enough for one per week for the WHOLE YEAR by July so keep checking back once purchased. 1 - General knowledge 2 - European Day of Languages 3 - Weather 4 - Islands 5 - Lyrics 6 - Cartoons 7 - Logos 8 - Remembrance 9- Polish National Day 10 - Movies 11 - Dingbats 12 - Attendance 13 - Games 14 - Christmas 15 - New Year 16 - Alphabet part 1 17 - Alphabet part 2 18 - Numbers 19 - General Knowledge part 2 20 - Food and Drink 21 - Animals 22 - Sport 23 - Capital Cities 24 - Celebrity Guess Who 25 - Flags 26 - Easter 27 - The Human Body 28 - Harry Potter 29 - Space 30 - Mental Health Awareness 31 - Collective nouns 32 - Periodic table 33 - General Knowledge part 3 34- Dinosaurs 35- Famous Landmarks 36- Weird World Records 37- Emojis 38- Summer FREE SAMPLE IF YOU WANT TO TRY IT FIRST https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/house-tutor-time-quiz-sample-quiz-13-games-1205490517

1 PowerPoint that includes all lessons for both combined and separate science pathways in the new GCSE specification 2016. I have used these resources with a top set triple year 10 group and a bottom set year 9 group with good results so it is well differentiated where possible. If any resources are mentioned but NOT included it is because I did not make them and therefore am not selling them. Check out the free resource part of my page to find it, or contact me and I will send it to you! This includes the tests/assessments. Revision resources are also included.

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.

UPDATED FOR SUMMER 2024! After the Santa and Easter murder mysteries were such a success, I thought I would create a summer one for use on those last few days in the summer term to go alongside the quizzes or other activities you might do every year. This mystery follows the murder of Mr. Rossi who was (unfortunately) still in his ice cream van when someone melted it! There are 20 suspects and 5 clues for teams to solve before gaining access to the final clue, which will allow them to start eliminating suspects. The clues rely on team work to complete them well within an hour, and require problem solving skills as well. Some clues are (loosely) linked to science; there is a classification key and a speed calculation, but the main aspect is team work and problem solving. Students will need the case brief printed, and some of the slides in the PowerPoint to complete this. The slides needed are labeled in the notes section. There is a leader board so you are able to display the progress of each team. I allow teams to lock in an answer whenever they want, but I won’t tell them if they’re right until the end. They can work on the clues in any order but MUST have completed all 5 before accessing final clues. all answers are provided in the PowerPoint. Enjoy

New Separate sciece only topic in astronomy for the new 2016 Edexcel physics topic 7. Includes full lessons with activities on: The Solar system Life-cycles of stars Red-shift Theories of the Universe It also includes revision and feedback activites for just before and just after the test. I had lots of fun making this one!

Core practical workbooks including all of the required practicals for Edexcel combined and separate/triple sciences. The workbook includes exam style questions for each section so they can be RAG rated. They style of question varies for each practical so the students will practice all of the necessary skills. There are links to videos and simulations which I DO NOT take credit for. This helps students revise or catch up if they have been absent. The practicals are: Investigating force, mass and acceleration Investigating waves Investigating refraction Investigating radiation Investigating resistance Investigating density investigating springs

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 8 (TRIPLE ONLY) Using Radioactivity 9 - Dangers of Radioactivity 10 - Radioactivity in medicine 11 - Nuclear Energy 12 - Nuclear Fission 13 - Nuclear Fusion.

The Solar System and Beyond. This full topic is a merge between the old 7L (Solar System and Beyond) and 9J (Satellites and Space) into the 2-year KS3 new scheme of work. The topic covers 7 one-hour lessons and an assessment lesson. As this is part of the new KS3 scheme of work there are NO LEVELS required or given. The topic covers: - Days and nights - Seasons and years - Phases of the moon - Solar and lunar eclipses - The planets - Comets and asteroids. - Gravity and orbits - Satellites (natural and artificial) - Space exploration (landers, rovers, orbiters etc.) All learning objectives are on the PowerPoints and all activities that are mentioned are fully resourced and ready to go! Some lesson slides have animations on them that the pupils will LOVE and will help them to remember the key information. There are running themes throughout the topic (the NASA boss the pupils work for) to engage pupils with the activities and for them to take pride in their learning. Some of the files are large because they are so complete and well resourced so please be patient. It’s worth it! Files included: - 6 PowerPoints (L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5, L6, L7) - Card sort for lesson 1 - Moon phases worksheet for lesson 3 - Moon homework for lesson 3 - Planet fact cards and table for lessons 4 and 5 - An Excel spreadsheet containing the data for the temperatures of the planets - Exploration methods fact sheet for lesson 7 - Assessment on the topic with mark scheme PLEASE DON’T FORGET TO LEAVE A REVIEW! They can be improved for re-upload!

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.

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.

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.

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. All worksheets that were made using a generator are credited on the worksheet itself. All content is original.

This topic covers the new Edexcel GCSE transition content for KS3 into KS4. This scheme challenges the misconceptions pupils start with/have been taught in the that past and builds upon the fundamental ideas. Plenty of new models and diagrams to help get the ideas across. Many optional practical ideas, including how to get fruit batteries into your lessons, and a fantastic website link. Very interactive slides, ideal for use with a smart board. I don't have one though and it works just fine! These lessons have been used in observations and coaching, and have received outstanding comments. Covers: - Troubleshooting circuits - Curren tand Voltage - Measuring current and voltage - Series circuits and Parallel circuits - Resistance - Potential difference - Ohms law.

Includes 4 lessons for the New Edexcel Physics transition module for KS3 into KS4. It includes 4 differentiated lessons that link into each other. This topic is not currently in this specification at any level. Top and Bottom sets will be challenged by this. Includes: Work done Extension of a spring Extension of an elastic band Work done by a spring Graph skills

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.

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.

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!
