International Baccalaureate Environmental Systems and Societies ESS A checklist for each topic based upon the specification. I use give these to students for both learning and revision purposes. Topic 1: Foundations of environmental systems and societies 1.1 Environmental value systems 1.2 Systems and models 1.3 Energy and equilibria 1.4 Sustainability 1.5 Humans and pollution Topic 2: Ecosystems and ecology 2.1 Species and populations 2.2 Communities and ecosystems 2.3 Flows of energy and matter 2.4 Biomes, zonation and succession 2.5 Investigating ecosystems Topic 3: Biodiversity and conservation 3.1 An introduction to biodiversity 3.2 Origins of biodiversity 3.3 Threats to biodiversity 3.4 Conservation of biodiversity Topic 4: Water and aquatic food production systems and societies 4.1 Introduction to water systems 4.2 Access to fresh water 4.3 Aquatic food production systems 4.4 Water pollution Topic 5: Soil systems and terrestrial food production systems and societies 5.1 Introduction to soil systems 5.2 Terrestrial food production systems and food choices 5.3 Soil degradation and conservation Topic 6: Atmospheric systems and societies 6.1 Introduction to the atmosphere 6.2 Stratospheric ozone 6.3 Photochemical smog 6.4 Acid deposition Topic 7: Climate change and energy production 7.1 Energy choices and security 7.2 Climate change—causes and impacts 7.3 Climate change—mitigation and adaptation Topic 8: Human systems and resource use 8.1 Human population dynamics 8.2 Resource use in society 8.3 Solid domestic waste 8.4 Human population carrying capacity

Power point about the periodic table, involves the alkali metal demo to introduce the idea of trends and patterns

Form breaks down each section and helps students to peer assess another's work. Huge time saver! Each section has tick boxes to help students keep track of marks and also allows you to quickly assess how each students has performed in each area. Also useful for modelling or using as a teacher marking criteria. Easy to edit/adjust for specific practicals/experiments. The experiment covered here is reacting limestone with hydrochloric acid. My specific template is aimed at the IB MYP however it applies to all KS3 science curricula.
