These are based on the OCR spec, I give these to my students before each topic, they include a before and after self-assessment to check progress. The text book pages for the Pearson AS book, and resources that can help students if the miss a lesson or don't understand.
More will be added once I write them!!
4 Sheets, separate sheets for combined and separate sciences, with and without units. I use the ones without units to test students on how they have learnt them
To accompany this I have full schemes of work available.

A very popular worksheet with my students that I use for revision just before the exam
Fully supported by a video on my you tube site
https://youtu.be/aG4pMWXwbF0
This was a lesson I was observed and judged to be outstanding.
Before the lesson; the week before I set the home-work of watching and making notes from two videos ( https://youtu.be/7OEL6bupk8A and https://youtu.be/ZTwy8BYOhCs) In the lesson, there were 5 activities
At the start of the lesson students used one colour of post-it notes to indicate on the arrow where they were and at the end another colour to show the progress they had made. (Postits were up for the whole lesson)
Coloured cups were on tables so students could easily indicate who needed help and who didn't
This is the ultimate in differentiation, on one table I had students doing basis and extension work on the same table.
1-using textbooks
2-matching activity found on TES
3-badger task (not included due to copyright)
4-Edouzle calculations (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/distance-time-and-velocity-time-formative-assessment-for-gcse-inc-edpuzzle-link-and-asnwers-11151926 )
5-Extension from TAP
I give the relevant sheet out at the start of teaching a topic to help the students with their revision, if they miss a lesson, or if they want to work ahead.

I make video of most of the demos and practicals that I do in class and post them on YouTube, to try and make these for useful for the teaching community, I've uploaded silent versions here so so you can embed them into your PowerPoint.
The clips are on YouTube, ad-free and noise free so you can add you own special magic touch without worrying about ads or disruptions. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7O6CcKg0HaH888fPYQ3w3hZudBSgV63m My YouTube channel has lots of videos to help students with GCSE and A-Level Chemistry and Physics
You cannot upload these to any public website, but can be used on VLE's for internal student use only.
Covering
-Convection
-distillation
-thermochromic properties of zinc oxide
-measuring rates of reaction by loss of mass (makes a great graph skills lesson)
This is part of a full scheme of work https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/aqa-atomic-structure-and-the-periodic-table-full-scheme-of-work-for-new-gcse-2016-spec-11317289
In the full scheme of work for the new (teaching from 2016) exam spec. These are the resources I will be using in class so will be constantly updated and improved as they are taught. Any feedback is welcome!
For a FREE sample lesson see http://tinyurl.com/hqok5h6
Discount Bundles and Versions for AQA, Edexcel and OCR are available, and it’s clearly stated which bits are needed for combined or separate science.
This is designed so you have to do very little in preparation for the lessons. I hope you will enjoy the free time this gives you and your students will benefit from well thought out and detailed resources. Everything is clearly explained and all answers are provided so non-specialist can teach with confidence.
Student self-assessment sheets; I have used these successfully for years in lesson and OFSTED and SLT love them! They show clear progression for students, which can be easily seen by anyone who looks at the books. There are links to resources that students can use at home to improve their understanding if they do not feel confident in a topic.
Starter’s; these are designed to give cumulative learning, within a structured format. Each lesson (apart from the first) starts with five questions about content they have covered in previous lessons. This gives students a chance to review knowledge on a continuing basis (hopefully) leading to deeper learning.
Homework’s; most of these are on line, so you just have to set it for your class and it gets mark automatically. Otherwise there are investigations and activities that require very little marking from you, allowing you to enjoy your weekend.
End of topic tests; have been written to match (as close as I can) the style of the new exam papers. There are foundation and higher versions, each lasting 45 minutes with fully explained answers. The questions have been clearly and thoughtfully laid out to allow students to show off their knowledge to the best of their abilities,. The question ramp as you go through the paper and through the question and a number of maths and multiple choice questions have been included. Estimate grade boundaries have been included.
Worksheets; these have been made to accompany each part of the lesson; you can either use the slides or give out the scaffold to help students who need it.
PowerPoints; have embedded video clips, so you don’t have to find them, answers to all questions and engaging graphics. These have been designed with a clear/non-cluttered style to be friendly to students who have low level of literacy
