This is the full resource pack for an assessment for KS4 students who are studying the electromagnetic spectrum, the ALARA principle, risks of radiation, communication devices, radiation in medicine. This resource pack comes with several parts; 1. PowerPoint presentation to introduce the task and relevant background information. 2. Word document with lots of information about the EM spectrum and their uses, this was originally downloaded from TES. 3. Word document printout for the students to stick in their books. 4. 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. 5. Word documents containing writing frames to help students to draft out their answer, this could be particularly useful for students who struggle to get started on tasks, or those with issues with literacy. 6. Excel spreadsheet that can be used to automatically generate extended written feedback including improvement strategies for the teacher to give the students. A guide on how to use this resource can be freely accessed at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/the-automarker-11191496 This is based on an old AQA Physics Exam Paper. This task is good for training students to answer long questions i.e. 6 mark questions at GCSE. This task is suitable for students at Grade E-A*, however I have removed these grades so that you can use the old or new grading system.

This is the free version of an assessment for students who are studying weathering, erosion, acid rain, types of carbonate rock, building materials, matching properties to a purpose, measuring rate of reaction. This investigation focuses on how different types of carbonate rock are affected by acid (chemical weathering). I have also produced a full resource pack available to purchase from TES at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/weathering-of-limestone-2-investigation-quality-mark-assessment-full-resource-pack-11606330 This FULL resource pack comes with several parts; 1.

These are question cards on Heat Transfers and include questions on conduction, convection, radiation, infra-red radiation, particle theory, kinetic theory, solids, liquids, gases, heat loss and more. 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.

This is a free sample of the Relative Atomic Mass 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 keystages/background information on the calculation. 2. Word document worksheet with some questions for the students to attempt, whenever possible these are based on exam questions. 3. 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. 4. Word document containing just the answers. There are a total of 3 resource packs for the relative atomic mass calculations. This is Resource pack 1 and it is free. If you find Resource Pack 1 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-relative-atomic-mass-1-free-sample-11353809 2. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-relative-atomic-mass-2-11353972 3 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/chemical-calculations-relative-atomic-mass-3-11354416 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 lesson sets the students off on a research task to find out about the BIG five pollutants in our atmosphere and where the come from.

This is the first lesson in the topic ‘The Environment and the Atmosphere’ This lesson is delivered over YouTube but has some accompanying resources. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtfJMOIoPFg In this lesson I discuss some theories of what the Earth and its atmosphere may have been like in the past, and set a task for students to create a storyboard of how the atmosphere has changed over time. The review work set in this lesson can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF81ReGLz4w&list=PLRQqpdTTanY_8L_9hEq5CnpU_rNoacQlP&index=3&t=198s Links mentioned in the video:- GCSE BBC Bitesize My Favourite one Primoridal Soup These can all be found at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRQqpdTTanY9189wmlA5TIW2_nTaWl-Fj I teach the AQA GCSE Chemistry course, including both double (8464) and triple (8462) award, and as such most of these resources will be specific to that course, however they may also be useful for other specifications.

This is the second lesson in the topic ‘The Environment and the Atmosphere’ In the previous lesson I discussed some theories of what the Earth and its atmosphere may have been like in the past, in this lesson we look at the evidence that has been used to prove this, and look at jobs in science too! This lesson is delivered over YouTube but has some accompanying resources. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJoDCG4FiHY&list=PLRQqpdTTanY_8L_9hEq5CnpU_rNoacQlP&index=4&t=0s The review of work set in this lesson can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1ode5Hm10s&list=PLRQqpdTTanY_8L_9hEq5CnpU_rNoacQlP&index=4 Links mentioned in the video can all be found at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRQqpdTTanY9a1um-_1ywZdkmIWre0xJ2 I teach the AQA GCSE Chemistry course, including both double (8464) and triple (8462) award, and as such most of these resources will be specific to that course, however they may also be useful for other specifications.
