Information sheets for a marketplace/information hunt activity on metals, polymers, ceramics and composites. Designed for OCR 21st Century C4 (Material Choices) lesson on Choosing the Right Materials.

'Guess Who' worksheet for Y7 lesson on plant and animal cells. Students identify the organelle from a description of its function. Based on AQA Activate - B1, Cells - 1.2, Plant and Animal Cells (p16 of Activate 1 textbook). You could also ask students to identify which type of cell the organelle is present in, and offer an extension task to write a paragraph explaining the differences between plant and animal cell structure. Feel free to edit to suit your learning objectives and share!

I laminated and cut out the images/names/functions of different organs of the digestive system then asked students to assemble a whole digestive system with correct labels. I used this as a competition by splitting students into 2 teams, with the winners being the first to assemble all the images and labels correctly. I created this according to the AQA Trilogy GCSE specification but you could edit it to use keywords from other specifications e.g. duodenum. You could also use it with AQA Activate 2 (year 8).

Information sheets to be placed around the room to answer questions. I then followed this with the ‘Chase the Elements’ activity available here on TES by another author.

2 worksheet with questions of increasing difficulty on electrolysis half equations. Version 2 has a few trickier questions, including writing half equations from scratch. Answers on P2 of each document.

Students draw the particles in each state and fill in the gaps to describe the properties. Used with a low ability Y8 class.

A worksheet to help students practice identifying independent, dependent and control variables. Includes answers.

A card sort about diamond, graphite, graphene and fullerenes. One slide is scrambled, the other unscrambled to be used as either an answer sheet or an information source.

Revision summary sheet/mat for Electrolysis - created with AQA GCSE Chemistry C6 topic in mind. Including Electrolysis Equipment, Changes at the Electrodes, Predicting Products of Aqueous Solutions, Extraction of Aluminium and Electrolysis of Brine.

Students research the periodic table using laptops (or information sheets) and fill in their sheet, then produce a leaflet on the periodic table and atomic structure. You can easily change the ‘demonstrate’ task at the bottom of the sheet or add another question. Created with OCR 21st Century Science Topic C2 (Chemical Patterns) in mind but would work for other specifications or could be easily adapted. (The preview is cropped but the actual document has borders!)

A summary sheet for revising all sections of AQA GCSE Physics P1 - Conservation of Energy. Including Changes in Energy Stores, Conservation of Energy, Energy and Work, Gravitational Potential Energy Stores, Kinetic and Elastic Energy Stores, Energy Dissipation, Energy and Efficiency, Electrical Appliances and Energy & Power. Each box ties in with a double-page spread in the textbook. I used a 9-question diagnostic quiz to start the lesson, with a question for each box topic, and students started their revision with the areas they got wrong/were least confident in.

Calculations worksheet used for AQA Trilogy Energy Changes unit - calculating bond energies. Please note there is no answer sheet included.

Information booklet which gives students guidance on how to: Draw even scales Draw lines/curves of best fit Describe & explain a trend (including identifying strong/weak/positive/negative correlations) Plot range bars Interpolate/extrapolate Calculate gradient Write a linear equation I have these out on the tables every time students are drawing a graph to serve as a ‘self-help’ guide in the first instance. Used with Y7 up to Y11.

Revision mat/summary sheet for C5 Chemical Changes (AQA). Includes questions on reactivity series, metals & acids, extraction of metals, acids & bases, salts (& naming salts), acids & alkalis, neutralisation, dissociation, pH, and strong and weak acids.

A3 revision summary sheet covering sound waves, hearing & the ear, light waves, reflection, refraction, colour and the eye.

Worksheet questions on calculating efficiency of an appliance. Questions are graded and increase in difficulty (no rearranging/converting, converting units, rearranging equations and converting units, 2-step processes). An answer sheet is included for self-marking/correction. Used with mid-ability Y10 for P2 - Sustainable Energy on OCR 21st Century, but works with most specifications. Some questions at the end combine the power equation with the efficiency equation.

This activity includes an information sheet which shows students how to complete dot-cross diagrams, and lots of examples to practice with. Answers in a separate file.

Selection of activities for teaching about the earth’s early atmosphere and how it changed, including a storyboard with answers, cloze activity with answers, and 2 exam-style questions (short questions or a 6-mark) with suggested mark schemes. Covers 4.9.1.2 of AQA GCSE Chemistry (the earth’s early atmosphere).

Revision summary sheet (with answers) for AQA GCSE Chemistry, Chemical Analysis. Covers pure & impure substances, paper chromatography, gas tests and testing for positive + negative ions.

2 worksheets on addition and condensation polymerisation, with answers.
