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
CLICK AND LOCATE PART OF THE POWERPOINT TO HELP FIND CORE PRACTICALS EASY

149 defintions that can be printed out and given to students or can just be used for teacher purposes.
The separate science defintions are separated out - not to get mixed in with the combined defintions
All defintions have been compared to the exam mark schemes
Really good feedback from the students and higher students prefer to have this list to use for revision purposes at home.
I have been using it for mini tests in class
