This resource has been designed as a puzzle for students to recap units in physics and is ideal for a group or individual task.
Print one sheet per A4 page (one sided) and cut out the squares. Shuffle the squares and have students match the sides of the squares until all 15 cards have been used. There is more than one way to complete this puzzle.
High ability students should be able to use all 15 cards.
For lower ability students, remove the 2 end columns indicated on the sheet so that they complete the puzzle with 9 cards.
This revision mat covers the AQA combined science waves topic and was designed for use in end of year revision for year 11 students but could easily be used for higher ability year 10s.
POINTS PURSUIT is a gamified revision strategy that can be integrated with any rewards system of your choosing and is a nice way to increase competition. Questions start off as low demand at the top and then progressively increase in difficulty as students move down the sheet - please note that I have used this with higher ability classes and many students have started at the bottom to gain the most points and then worked their way up the sheet as an effective strategy.
I usually complete a sheet under a visualiser and have students swap sheets and coloured pens then follow along to reduce my marking :)

Specifically looking at the Making Salts Required Practical within the topic Chemical Changes.
This is a revision mat for AQA Combined Science Paper 1.
Specifically looking at Energy Resources within the topic Energy.
This activity would work well as an information hunt and includes the appropriate PowerPoint slides which can be inserted into your own slide show or printed for students to move around the room and help them complete the activity sheet.
Never miss a practical again with this AQA Combined Science Required Practical Checklist!
Inside you’ll find a 5 page checklist which covers:
Required practicals separated by subject and then by topic
The specification descriptors of each required practical
Complete list of topics for each subject that DO NOT contain a required practical
2 pages of ‘other’ practicals and demonstrations that are not technically required but the exam board could ask you about anyway!
These are revision mats for AQA Combined Science and Physics Paper 1.
Specifically looking at the topic Atomic.
For only £2.50 you will receive 6 revision mats, which include:
Isotopes and Relative Atomic Mass calculations
Nuclear Fission and Fusion (TRIPLE ONLY)
Properties of radiation
Uses of radiation
Decay equation dominoes
Atomic Structure (radiation) POINTS PURSUIT

These are revision mats for AQA Combined and Triple Science Paper 1.
Specifically looking at Physics topics. This includes:
Energy
Electricity
Particle Model of Matter
Atomic Structure (Radiation)
For only £5 you will receive 18 revision mats, which include:
Electricity:
Electricity at home
Circuits
Generating electricity
Electricity Equations points pursuit
Circuit component dominoes
*The circuit component dominoes includes 2 card sort activities to allow for differentiation. These are both domino style activities where students will make a chain of cards with their answer from the previous card leading directly onto their next question.
The first activity is more suited for higher ability students as students are required to match their component to their description/function rather than the name of the component.
The second card sort is more suited for lower ability students as this one simply includes the names of the components and their symbols.
Energy
Energy resources
Generating electricity
Energy stores and transfers
Energy Equations points pursuit
Particle Model of Matter
The Particle model of matter
Specific heat capacity and specific latent heat calculations
Gas pressure
Measuring the density of objects Required Practical
Atomic Structure (Radiation):
Isotopes and RAM
Properties of radiation
Nuclear fission and fusion
Decay equation dominoes
This is a domino style activity where students will make a chain of cards with their answer from the previous card leading directly onto their next question.
Students should have a strong understanding of how alpha and beta decay will affect the atomic number and atomic mass before attempting this activity.
I recommend laminating the cards and storing in ‘packs’ to be reused time and time again
BONUS
As a little added bonus, I have included the units in physics puzzle squares activity.
