Edexcel 9-1 for the new 9-1 GCSE
As I believe there will be a CORE PRACTICAL question on this years exam, I have designed a lesson to allow students to review and evaluate the core practicals over a series of lessons
I have tried this lesson with top set and managed to get through around 3 core practicals each lesson - I have reviewed answers to the common questions and allowed students to draw diagrams when appropiate and write methods
This is what i do in my lesson:
I set up SEVERAL DEMO’s of the same 2 CORE PRACTICALS (2 per lesson)
I place a MARKET PLACE CORE PRACTICAL GUIDE NEXT TO EACH CORE PRACTICAL - ATTACHED
I divide the class in two (1/2 per core practical) - 15 minutes per station
I ISSUE the students with a feedback sheet (spec points on what they have to hit - knowledge, maths and skills) - ATTACHED
I allow students to fill in this first
I then issue the students with a question sheet - ATTACHED
I ask students to visit that station and complete the questions/tasks/drawings/equations (all answers are found on the MARKET PLACE CORE PRACTICAL GUIDE)
I then ask the students to switch - 15 minutes
I ask students to be seated
We review the content/questions for each core practicals
Then continue like this for several lessons untill all CORE PRACTICALS have been completed
Then the students sit a mock exam (FREE ON MY SHOP) only on CORE PRACTICALS to help them get used to the questions asked
A mock exam will be give after this batch of lessons - something different when you start revision
FOR THE MOCK I USED SEE
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/edexcel-9-1-combined-higher-chemistry-core-practical-revision-lesson-mini-mock-11844337
IT IS FREE
CAN BE USED FOR ABOUT 5 LESSONS
OVER 89 SLIDES
ACTIVATE - SHOWING HOW THE PRACTICAL IS SET UP AND THE KEY PIECES OF INFORMATION
DEMONSTRATE - ALLOWING STUDENTS TO VISIT THE STATIONS AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS AT EACH STATION
AFL - CHECKING ANSWERS (ALL ANSWERS PRESENT) IN LESSONS AFTER EVERY 3 CORE PRACTICALS OR 2 DEPENDING ON ABILITY
QUESTIONS ATTACHED TO ALLOW STUDENTS TO WORK INDEPENDENTLY OR AT THEIR OWN PACE (THEY ARE THE SAME QUESTIONS AS IN THE POWERPOINT - SO ALL ANSWERS ARE IN THE POWERPOINT) Can set as homework or use in a revision lesson.
BUNDLE INCLUDES:
CORE PRACTICAL MARKET PLACE GUIDES
TECH LIST
FEEDBACK SHEET FOR STUDENTS
QUESTION SHEET FOR STUDENTS
POWERPOINT EXPLAINING ALL CORE PRACTICALS AND ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS
