I am a chemistry teacher, I spend lots of time making resources and decided to share them here on TES. Most are free or have free sample versions, but the best and most detailed ones that I'm particular proud of I sell for around £2-£5.

This is the full resource pack for an assessment for KS3 students who are studying cells, organelles, body structure, organ systems, and adaptations.
This resource pack comes with several parts;
1. PowerPoint presentation to introduce the task.
2. Word document printout for the students to stick in their books, I’ve also included an old version of this sheet that I don’t use anymore.
3. Word document printout with a level ladder on so that the students can self/peer assess the work, there is also a column so the teacher can tick off the achieved criteria.
4. Excel spreadsheet that can be used to automatically generate extended written feedback including improvement strategies for the teacher to give the students.

5. JPEG images showing examples of models made by my previous classes when given this task, I've included a range of examples including an extremely high level project from the child of a professional cake maker!
This task is suitable for students at level 3-7.
When I have used this in lessons students have made some truly remarkable work but using cardboard, beads, Lego, plastercine, and cake!

5. Word document printout writing frame to assist students who may benefit from additional help with this task.
This task is suitable for students at level 3-7.
When I have used this in lessons students have made some really nice posters, creative stories and great comic strips.
These are the resources for a unit on plant sampling, photosynthesis, plant adaptations, plants as producers, interdependence, food chains, food pyramids, natural selection, population changes, and global warming.
QM stands for Quality Mark which is a levelled formative assessment based on scientific skills.
In the powerpoints I use:
-Yellow boxes- to show the students what to write in their books.
- Blue boxes- for tasks that the students should do.
LA after a powerpoint's name means it is for Low Abilities
HA after a powerpoint's name means it is for High Abilities

These are the resources for a unit on food, nutrients, diet, digestion, food tests, organ systems, respiration, circulation, the skeleton, breathing, smoking, drugs, microbes and illness.

I have been through the specifications for the new AQA Science qualification covering Biology (8461), Chemistry (8462) and Physics (8463). This resource pack contains just the BIOLOGY, but I have also posted the others too separately to make it easier for you to get just the part you need.
All the attached resources are either AQA documents or my shortened version of them.
I have converted the PDF specification into word documents so that they are easier to use and then extracted smaller parts from these specifications to make them easier to quickly reference.
For the Biology, Chemistry and Physics I have extracted from the main specification the required mathematical skills for each science, and the new required practical's. For the required practical's I have made a shortened version to be used as a quick reference.
For the other sciences click the links below:

This is a worksheet I made to help my students to practice the graphs skills required for the ISA controlled assessment, I've also included questions that regularly come up on paper two.
This sheet has been done in the context of testing how temperature affects the viscosity of oils however this could easily be adapted to suit other investigations.
I intend on uploading a mark scheme for this after I have delivered this lesson.
Just a quick spread sheet that shows each lesson title in each unit in AQA's new (accredited in 2016) courses for Biology (8461), Chemistry (8462)and Physics (8463).
This could be used as a route through the GCSE used to inform planning, I actually made it to tick off the work covered so far so that whoever picks up my classes knows what they have already done.
The required practical's are highlighted in orange.
The triple science content is bordered in blue.
These are the resources for a short unit on animals, adapatations, food chains and populations.
