Practise a controlled assessment or practical in a fun and engaging way. Simple activity requiring a kettle, ice, boiling tubes, large beakers, salt, water, stop watch and thermometers. The worksheet encourages students to reflect on writing the method and using data to support the conclusion. Students will identify equipment, control variables and write a method (hint sheet provided). Refer to slide 1 for lesson plan.

Practise a controlled assessment or practical in a fun and engaging way. Simple activity requiring effervescent tablets, balances, conical flask, rubber bungs and water. The worksheet encourages students to reflect on method and use data to support a conclusion. Students will identify equipment, control variables and write a method (hint sheet provided). Refer to slide 1 for lesson plan.

A PowerPoint with supporting instructions, starter and extension activities. Best if you use tealight candles. Encourages students to consider variables and to make accurate measurements. Students draw a graph to show their results. If students are difficult to motivate then ask them to estimate how long a candle would last in a specific volume (i.e. 300ml beaker) which they will have to produce a graph to extrapolate or interpolate to find this out. You could test a 300ml beaker at the end to test this. The extension activity promotes higher level scientific thought. It is unknown if the carbon dioxide smothers the candle or if the oxygen runs out first. Most students will say the taller candle as this will last longer!

A PowerPoint based multiple choice assessment for AQA Trilogy Combined GCSE. Best used where ICT is available. Students complete 50 multiple choice questions and if macros have been enabled (students are prompted to do this) the assessment will mark itself and give detailed feedback on topics of weakness and areas for development. The feedback can be easily printed (slide 52) and students can perform research on the suggested topics. I have included a paper copy of the quiz in case the computers let you down or this is a cover lesson. See the whole set (Chemistry, Biology, Physics) as a bundle: <a href=“https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/aqa-science-trilogy-assessment-bundle-biology-chemistry-physics-11973736?theme=0”>HERE</a> I hope you enjoy it, please leave feedback if you do.

A Microsoft PowerPoint multiple choice style assessment covering the Edexcel Paper 1 Physics 2019. The assessment identifies gaps in knowledge and topics of weakness. Self marking and automatic feedback (you must enable macros when prompted). I have included the Questions and answers in case you have technical problems or want them to do this in a cover lesson (answers for non specialist). Also printing function allowing students to name and print the feedback. See Chemistry assessment here. Biology coming soon.

Practise a controlled assessment in a fun and engaging way. Simple safe practical requiring Sugar, cups, hot and cold water. Train students to identify risks, control variables and write a method. Refer to slide 1 for lesson plan.

A planning tool for ecology students to plan out their practical assignment. Feel free to adapt it.
