This task is designed for students to work backwards and reduce their notes for revision. Around the outside of the page are the key facts and information that are needed for the topic. Students need to condense these and/or find out more about these and make notes in the white space. Finally students then need to highlight the keywords and put then in the box in the centre.
The format is designed to convince students that they do not need to make pages and pages of notes and instead can put all their notes on the back of a post card.
This task is great followed up by a loop card activity to test knowledge or apply straight to some exam questions.

A list of the various objectives for each of the topics in the C1 AQA Core Science Unit.
Students can show progress against what they know about a topic at the start and then at the end of a unit. This can then be used to produce a personalised revision programme for the student.
Alternative way of being used, is to print on stickers and use in books
Topics covered include atomic structure, limestone etc.
The idea works that students should know the foundation building blocks around the edge of the page.
The task therefore is to work inwards and begin to summarise these key points in the middle, only focusing on the things they have forgotten.
The final task is to get this all on to a postcard - their revision notes to take away! This makes it all manageable for the student.
This is one topic only and the full unit can be downloaded as a complete file.
Revision loop card activity for Additional Physics. Students need to cut out the cards and then sequence them so that the question on one card matches the answer on the next one. If the student get them correct, it will form a loop.
The answer sheet is also provided so that you can quickly check response and identify any mistakes made by the student(s).
A great activity to challenge students - who is quickest; to assess students and highlight misconceptions.
Loop cards include questions about:
atomic structure, bonding, ionic, covalent

Loop cards include questions about:
Relative atomic mass, relative formula mass, percentage mass
A short scheme of work that looks at the period table and then makes some materials like pykrete (concrete that is made of ice) and then some plastic (from milk). A great way to expand and make links to real world.
Articulate game. Can be used as a starter, plenary or challenge/quiz game.
The student selects a card about the topic studied and has to describe the words using words, picture/diagrams or actions. More points are awarded for not using words or diagrams!!
Great for competition! A fun an interesting game that really engages the students!
Remember to have some rewards for the best action and winner!
Great plenary, starter or revision activity.
A student is given a card and has to describe the word without using any of the three words given or the actual word.
Students can then make their own versions too as great revision too.
Additional Chemistry AQA - Acids and Electrolysis Keyword and definition bingo.
This contains a set of questions and a pack of pre-made cards. This can be used as a starter, plenary or revision activity.
This covers all of the key concepts in the unit. Other bingo games are available for the other units too.

Prediction Paper - GCSE Additional - Foundation - 2016
This paper consists of new questions that have been designed around previous examinations.
These assessments are produced after mapping questions from previous years.
This includes a mark scheme.
Great for revision and discussion.
This booklet supports a series of lesson and is designed for Entry Level/SEND students to allow them to access the key elements of science. If used in a mixed ability class, these booklets allow students to keep pace with the rest of the class whilst personalising the challenge and support they require.
The booklet is part of a series of booklets with a variety of tasks including matching keywords and definition, scaffolding, extended answers, research and a lot of practical work with matching results tables/graphs.
Some of the diagrams have had to be removed for copyright.
