This resource is differentiated by task and also by time to be spent on each.
Red activities = hardest,
Orange = medium demand
Green = easy
The stars represent the time to be spent on each ( I change this depending on the ability of the group/ student e.g. each star represents 2 minutes)
I usually display on the board and students work on A3 or print for lower ability classes.
Could cut up and use as flashcards
Made using the AQA Trilogy specification
Contains 1 slide of activities to complete for the C9 Chemistry of the atmosphere topic
I give these out at the end of each topic and also before holidays for exam preparation.
I have made the boxes equal sizes so that they can be blown up onto A3 card to create revision cards for intervention/ starters/ plenaries
Maths skills and RPAs are incorporated when appropriate
More of these on the way for all AQA units, RPAs and maths skills. Feedback welcome

This resource is 3 A4 pages of revision activities for the 6.1.3 OCR Manipulating genomes topic
Top features include:
QR code for useful videos
QR code to questions on Seneca
checks key terminology
*Checks ability to draw key diagrams
Links to other parts of the spec where appropriate
The activity is designed to check that students have an understanding of the topic and encourages independent working. I advise my students to use notes or a textbook before asking the teacher if they do not know the answer.
Each side takes students roughly an hour to complete. I have used as homeworks, support sessions, revision lessons private study tasks and printed on card and cut to use as revision cards
All other topics available. Please note, answers not yet available but are in the pipeline!!
