GCSE Science Metacognition - learning how approach science exam questions - extended response

(3)
This is a free example that forms part of a huge pack of resources to teach a module using metacognitive approaches to science exam questions. Aimed at year 10 / core science. Metacognition, which includes ideas such as learning to learn and developing thinking skills, can be applied to the way students tackle examination questions. This scheme of learning and accompanying lessons and resources,for science skills, breaks down the different types of questions that students meet and supports them to find learned strategies that work for them in how to tackle those questions. Each skill comes complete with a powerpoint, worksheet and mark scheme. The resources are based on AQA materials but the skills are transferable across other exam boards. All three sciences: biology, chemistry and physics, are covered. This free example covers extended response questions and gives the scheme of learning for the whole set of resources. If you like what you see why not try the full pack? Professor Bunsen resources are tested in school and make GCSE science engaging and exciting. Most importantly it could save you and your school time! The accompanying worksheet allows students to practice and for you to give feedback and help them to improve. The answers are included to help the busy teacher or non-specialist.
