Fully differentiated challenge resource for GCSE and KS3 revision needing minimal input from you! Pupils can choose their challenge to collect a number of stars over the course of the lesson. The reward they get varies on how many stars they collect. They must create a document proving they have done them! I also set a question limit. They can swap a star they have already gained if they want to ask me for help. It is a revision exercise, and they have covered the material previously.

My year 9s and my year 11s love this challenge. The idea behind it is that the pupils will really get to grips with the protons, neutrons and electrons of each element so they can correctly answer questions about ions, bonding and electronic configuration. This is coming in earlier in the new Edexcel specification! I give pupils 3 minutes for this activity. If it cannot be done in that time, they haven't grasped it yet! They do it as a starter or a plenary, and all begin at the same time. It works well as a mini test where they race against each other (or even you) to be the first one to finish with them all correct. They can even mark each others! When they finish one challenge (95% correct or more) they move on to the next one. I use school rewards for when they advance and I have also included a certificate that I have given to the ones who complete all 3. This can obviously be modified to reflect you and your class. Don't forget to leave a review!

Follows the new Edexcel transition scheme of work for science. Crosses over well with the GCSE spec and can be used for revision in year 11. PowerPoint that follows the Health revision map is included. It is possible to do this activity with or without it.

Revision PowerPoint for use with a mixed ability year 11 class. Covers all objectives from the Edexcel Additional Physics topic 5 on Radioactivity. All activities mentioned on the PowerPoint are on the activity document, where pupils can work at it after you have covered/revised the content. There is also exam practice on the document.

Differentiated to help lower ability follow the revision resources.

Suitable for KS3 and KS4 chemistry revision on making salts, reactions of acids and states of matter. Follows the new chemistry Edexcel transition content. Powerpoint lesson plan available to go with this in the free resources section as I am not the original author of most slides.

This resource is appropriate for the new Edexcel transition topic in KS3 and also for C1 in KS4. This resource covers properties of metals, the reactivity series, oxidation and reduction, methods of extraction and word equations. You can make this resource interactive for lower ability, or for revision of C1 in year 11 by following the content on the PowerPoint and having pupils fill in the activity after each stage. The PowerPoint is included and the diagrams match up.

Mind map that covers structure of an atom, electronic configuration, the periodic table and isotopes. Follows the new Edexcel transition document for chemistry but can be used as C2 topic 1 revision for year 11s. I have both year groups and they appreciate it equally. Works best on A3 but is readable on A4.
