Physics
CP3c - Insulation experiment and worksheet
The lesson starts by identifying the key word ... cavity. The students then get to investigate how best to keep a coffee warm, this is then summarised by a worksheet. The Lesson concluded with an exam question specific to Edexcel 9-1.
This lesson has been designed to start getting motivation back into a difficult year 10 class. It is one that I did not think was good enough to list on TES premium however it is not a bad lesson.
For lessons with high quality AFL and differentiation inbuilt please view my TES shop:

Mass, Weight and Gravity: GCSE Edexcel 9-1 foundation
More lessons in the series are available on my premium resources - ScienceMastery
The lesson starts with a series of questions to illicit prior understanding of the students. There is then an explanation of gravity and the calculations extensively modelled. After that the students get an opportunity to select from a series of tasks and opt to work, this is outcome differentiated via gold, silver, bronze tasks. The students then complete a hinge point question (AFL) that directs them to 1 of 3 differentiated tasks, there is a purple (high order thinking) task available for the students to move onto once their tasks are completed. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket and a rag of LO.
Combined Science Edexcel 9-1: mock exam interactive revision schedule
Revision timetable and resource bank. To use: print and give to the students, put it up in the lab, send it home to parents or publish as an electric copy.
QR codes and hyperlinked topic titles take the students to a revision resource (mostly BBC Bitesize), on most days there is a key diagram and a selection of subtopics to revise.
This resource is designed to chunk the challenge of revision, giving students two months to revise every topic required for the mock exam that Edexcel are using to calibrate results. The calendar starts on the first of March and goes up until two days before the first exam.
Revising is a vital skill that many teachers neglect to teach their pupils. Most students struggle to plan their revision and rely on pre-exam cramming, as these students will not sit their final exam this year we need to ensure we help them retain the information. Spreading it out like this makes it an achievable challenge and will help them with long-term retention.

Relative motion - Lesson 6 forces and Energy
Lesson 5 look at the concept of relative motion, it is a lesson aimed for students who are looking to study GCSE Edexcel.
The lesson starts with a review of previous learning via the RAGing of topics over the last 4 lessons. It then moves on to look at a train crash (not graphic or upsetting) an gets the students to think about what the implication of this are. The lesson swiftly moves to some animations of relative motion to encourage the students to gain an understanding via a think, pair, share activity. There is then a hinge question to direct learning and assess understanding this leads into a differentiated task either gold, silver or bronze, there is included a purple extension.
Student have the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding with a differentiated challenge question the lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
Forces and Energy lesson 2: Contact and non-contact forces.
The lesson is highly differentiated and focuses on allowing the student a degree of choice as to which tasks to complete. The lessons starts with a DO it Now activity which has two options for the students to choose, an easy and a harder, this demonstrates stretch and challenge. The central activity to the lesson get the students up and reviewing different forces and coming up with examples. Knowledge is shown via a Blooms pyramid activity. The lesson finishes in an exit ticket.
Forces and Energy lesson 9 - magnetic fields
The lessons starts by reviewing previous learning in the topic. It then moves on to a SOLO taxonomy task (not labelled as solo) with 5 separate tasks of increasing difficulty. Two tasks within are practical. The lesson concludes with an exit tick and a review of LO.

The resource is an opportunity to embed student accountability and student led tracking. This will only be applicable if used with my other forces and energy resources available to purchase.
Lesson 8 frequency calculations
This is sample resource for the scheme of work available from the premium resources type in -
'Waves and Electricity - 13 lessons and end of topic assessment.'
The lesson starts with a review of previous learning, before modelling how to calculate frequency. The understanding of this calculation is assessed via a hinge point question, this directs learning to one of three tasks, the students demonstrates their learning before the lesson concludes in an exit ticket.
Mastery Learning Outcomes and Knowledge organisers
The resource includes the learning outcomes with RAG code for confidence and an exit ticket tracker for recording the exit ticket scores at the end of the lesson. There are two knowledge organisers both with differentiated questions on the back.

Forces and Energy Lesson 1 - Forces introduction: independent learning of forces
This is a constructive observation/ practical lesson that offers the student the choice of task as to gain a better response and effort from the child.
The lesson starts with a review of how homework help exam performance, it then moves on to the students identifying for themselves what 3 things a force can do to a lump of Plasticine. The lesson swiftly moves to another independent identification of 8 key forces via a differentiated worksheet. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.
Forces and Energy Lesson 3- identifying forces : A David Didau recommended resource
This Ofsted Outstanding format is a great way to engage student is self assessment rather than the meaningless and superficial marking that arbitrarily occurs 3-4 times per term. Make formative assessment count!
The lesson start by a think - pair - share activity to engage student in what it mean to be successful. The lesson then explains what a 6 mark question is in the new GCSE. There is then a hinge question which assesses prior understanding and differentiated the question for the next task. The students can then use the success criteria to attempt a GCSE style 6 mark question. After that the class reviews some of the lower level question model answers against the mark scheme and give them a medal (WWW) and a mission (EBI). The student then mark their own answers against the corresponding mark scheme giving themselves a medal and mission. The lesson concludes with them redrafting their own answer to include the improvements.
Lesson two - Reflection: KS3 mastery
The resource is highly differentiation and drives student towards coming up with their own rule for refection. The differentiated resource comes of the back of a hinge point question.
Year 8 Mastery- Waves and Electricity- Lesson 1. Transverse waves
Mastery Scheme of Work: Waves and Electricity- lesson 1
The lesson focuses on a simple wave model, the students build a wave machine to illicit ideas about wave movement. This is followed by a hinge question which differentiated the out come and allows students to formulate their own ideas at an appropriate level for them. The lessons concludes with a demonstrate activity followed by an Exit ticket.
Forces and Energy Lesson 7 - Weight, mass and gravity
The lesson starts with a series of questions to illicit prior understanding of the students. There is then an explanation of gravity and the calculations extensively modelled. After that the students get an opportunity to select from a series of tasks and opt to work, this is outcome differentiated via gold, silver, bronze tasks. The students then complete a hinge point question (AFL) that directs them to 1 of 3 differentiated tasks, there is a purple (high order thinking) task available for the students to move onto once their tasks are completed. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket and a rag of LO.
