Updated to include a Chemistry version on Thiosulfate and a Physics based on IV Characteristics This organiser is designed to help students before, during or after the required practical activites. It is designed to be used with KS4, but may be used with higher ability KS3. It covers all of AQA’s glossary of key terms and working scientifically that links with the required practcials. It cover approx 40 of the keywords associated with the Required Practical part of the course. Terms covered: Accuracy, calibration, data, error, measurement error, anomalies, random error, systematic error, zero error, evidence, fair test, hypothesis, interval, precision, prediction, range, repeatable, reproducible, resolution, resolution, sketch graph, true value, uncertainty, validity, valid conclusion, variables, categoric, continuous, control, dependent, independent, risk, hazard and control. Included are an Animated Power Point where each box appears in order. A colour coded Power Point (for editing) and PDF version and black and white versions. There are three versions, one based around Osmosis to be used during Biology required practicals and one based around Thiosulfate to be used during Chemistry Required Practicals and one based around IV Characteristsics. To see a basic version of this (but with no examples) click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-required-practical-graphic-organiser-placemat-aqa-12449119 To see how they are used check out the free Osmosis Required Practical (but with this resource taken out): https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/osmosis-required-practical-lesson-with-instructions-for-home-use-12181019 Please also check out the free IV Characteristics Required Practical (but with this resource taken out): https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/i-v-characteristics-required-practical-lesson-12199364 Designed to help students understanding of key words and as a help sheet to answer questions on the Required Practicals/How Science Works part of the exam. It can be given to students as a helpsheet/placemat when planning/analysing required practicals or as a homework aid/help sheet or placed on the wall as a large Poster(s). It is also numbered so that students follow the correct order when planning the practicals.

Now with a PowerPoint This booklet covers the Variation and Inheritance topic at KS4 . It is also suitable for some KS3 students. It contains 13 content pages where on each page is a keyword and definition, an image, example and some simple questions and an extension question. This includes a classification activity where students classify using the domain system and the normal system and compare the two. All the information is there in the booklet.

This KS4 AQA Required Practical covers the planning, carrying out and magnification calculations with 9-1 graded exam style questions. it lasts approximately 1 hour. The ppt carries the students through all aspects of the practical including safety, method and calculations. It finishes with exam style questions individually graded to assess students. Resource includes: ppt to guide the students through the practical (with answers and examples) Student method/practical sheet that follows the slides Apparatus list for technician Learning Objectives on each slide linked to AQA specification If you would like to see a free sample similar to this before you buy, the Osmosis one is free here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/updated-osmosis-required-practical-planning-with-graded-with-9-1-exam-style-questions-and-answers-12181019 All the biology practicals are available as a bundle here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/all-biology-planning-practicals-with-graded-questions-and-answer-12220999 If you just want the questions and answers, they are available as a bundle here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/biology-required-practical-worksheets-with-graded-9-1-exam-style-questions-and-answers-12181051 Please comment if you have found this useful If you would like more required practical resources (or any other resources) free and paid, please check out my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Thank you.

This KS3 biology resource can be used as a homework, end of topic revision sheet or cover lesson that has questions related to animal and plant cells and reproduction, microscopes, fitness and diet. It has over 40 questions linked to Bloom’s taxonomy and Multiple Intelligences. Teacher’s can choose activities or homeworks for the class linked to ability and/or learning style, or let students choose themselves!

This is a booklet that students can complete at home about the science behind the corona virus (covid 19). Each page contains keywords, diagrams, explanations, questions and extension activities and now project activities such as research and making posters/leaflets. It explains the different types of microorganisms that cause disease and the effects on the body. It explains how our body fights disease caused by viruses (and bacteria) and how a drug/vaccine may be developed. It is aimed at KS3 11-14 year olds, higher ability Y5 and 6 and lower ability KS4. The document comes as a pdf for the students to download from your server, or as a ppt for you to make any changes or add any extra task sheets to keep our students learning during this time.

I have now added a sheet explaining how this can be done at home by students themselves. This KS4 Biology resource is a two lesson resource containing a ppt to take students all the way through the Osmosis Required Practical. It includes a student worksheet (blank one and one with model answers) and 9-1 graded exam style questions with model answers adapted from AQA past papers to test their learning. It is the complete package for the osmosis required practical. This resource comes with: 32 ppt slide to project in lessons Word and pdf versions of the students sheet and question sheets. Answer sheets to allow the students to self or peer assess. Each sheet assesses student’s skills in interpreting the data, remembering the Health and Safety and suggesting ways of improving the experiment. Key concepts covered are variables, types of errors, risk assessment etc Questions have been adapted from AQA past paper questions to help the students become familiar with the type and style of questions asked. Each question slide has Blooms Style Learning Objectives for whole class focused learning. On the top right hand corner of the sheet the students can identify areas where they need to improve so that teachers can easily see which section they are having trouble with.
