These are question cards for year 7's and 8's on human reproduction and include questions on sex cells, male reproductive organs, female reproductive organs, ovulation, menstruation, the menstrual cycle, and pregnancy. These are made to go with the Science Revision Board Game I made which I use with KS3 and KS4 students to revise for their end of unit tests or exams. The board game and some sample question cards are freely available at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/science-revision-board-game-free-version-11445205 If the game board isn’t quite how you’d like it, or if you want your own question cards you could download my ‘Make Your Own Revision Board Game Resource Pack’ which can be purchased at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/make-your-own-revision-board-game-resource-pack-11445322 For the teacher, this is quick and easy revision activity that requires a one-time set up and then it can be used time and time again! Very little effort is required by you and the students can happily spend all lesson playing the game (if you let them) leaving you free to do what you fancy! My students love it and I get chance to sit down with the students who need extra help, or catch up on a bit of marking. To get started: • Print the board game on white A3 paper. • Print the question cards on blue paper/card, cut them up and pop them in little bags. • Print the hazard cards on yellow paper/card, cut them up and pop them in little bags. • Laminate the board game (optional but makes the game last longer) • Get a little stash of counters or items that could be used as the player pieces e.g. coloured paper circles, novelty rubbers, little model etc • Get some dice. For a class of 30 I’ve found that 6 groups of 5 work quite well, therefore you’d need 6 game boards and 6 packs of cards. For each unit taught I’ve made my own quiz cards so the students can test themselves on the unit content, I have quite a few different units which I am in the processing of uploading to TES now. Keep your eyes peeled for the bundles I am putting together.

Chemical Calculations- Reacting Masses This is a resource pack for the Reacting Masses calculations. I have made a range of resources for the calculations that AQA GCSE students will be expected to complete for the new Chemistry specification (8462). The resources packs contain 1. PowerPoint showing the key stages/background information on the calculation. 2. Word document with a printout showing the stages to complete the calculation. 3. Word document worksheet with some questions for the students to attempt, whenever possible these are based on exam questions. 4. WMV video clip this format is playable in most programs, such as RealPlayer, MPlayer, Windows Media Player, and the VLC Media Player. The video clip goes through the stages of the calculations on the worksheet, this is extremely useful for students (and teachers) who are struggling to see where the answer comes from. 5. Word document containing just the answers. There are a total of 8 resource packs for the Reacting Masses calculations. If you find the Resource Packs helpful and want more of the same the rest of the resource packs can be purchased from TES at: 1. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-reacting-masses-1-free-sample-11356990 2. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-reacting-masses-2-11357025 3. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-reacting-masses-3-11357027 4. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-reacting-masses-4-11357030 5. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-reacting-masses-5-11357033 6. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-reacting-masses-6-11357034 7. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-reacting-masses-7-11357036 8. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-reacting-masses-8-11357041 I have also made a bundle which is available for a reduced price containing all of the resource pack for this type of calculation.

This task is good for training students to answer long questions i.e. 6 mark questions at GCSE, or preparing students from writing pieces of coursework that require method writing skills. This task is suitable for students at Grade E-A*, however I have removed some of these grades so that you can use the old or new grading system.

I use this spread sheet in my long term planning, I use it in conjunction with SOW's and unit overviews to plot my progression across the year and to ensure all courses are finished in good time. It includes a calendar side section so you can factor in key dates such as inset days and bank holidays. The two versions attached contain the dates for the school year 2015-2016.

JPEG images showing a hand-drawn versions of the diagrams for this task some of these have been inserted into the PowerPoint, but may also be useful for students who aren't confident in laying out their work. The first two images are simply diagrams of the saucepan, the next four images are based on a flow diagram used to represent to heat transfers in the example (one of my students came up with this idea!) This task is suitable for students at level 3-7, and is based on an old APP task. When I have used this in lessons students have made some really nice posters, and great descriptions

This is the free version of an assessment for KS4 students who are studying hydrocarbons, fuels, alkanes, how number of carbons in a molecule affects properties, combustion, graph plotting and data handling.

This is a resource pack with a range of level ladders for marking practical investigations. Each word document contains a slightly different arrangement of assessment points so hopefully you will be able to pick the most suitable for your investigation. See the descriptions below... 1. This assesses all sections of a practical investigation including method writing, identifying variables, plotting graphs, writing conclusions and evaluations. 2. This assesses just method writing and is set out in a similar style to KS4 coursework method writing mark schemes such as ISA’s. 3. This assesses method writing and identification of variables. 4. This assesses method writing, identification of variables, and graph plotting (most appropriate for line graphs rather than bar). 5. This assesses graph plotting, writing conclusions and evaluations. NEW RESOURCE ADDED! 6. This is a level ladder for method writing, and gives the students a percentage of how 'AWESOME' their method is. I made this as schools are still wrapping their heads around the new GCSE levels and the consequent impact on KS3 levels.
