I am a science teacher in Liverpool and have been head of department and senior leadership. I have put resources on here that I know will be beneficial to both individual teachers and middle managers. I'm aware of the time constraints and the resources are to reduce workload as well as inform.

This is lesson 4 of a set of 7 lessons that cover 4.6.2 of the new GCSE AQA Biology curriculum. It follows the Oxford book chapter 14 in its chronology.
Each lesson has an interactive PowerPoint, a pupil worksheet(s) linked to the work in the PowerPoint and a linked past paper question with mark scheme (the Publisher original of the worksheet is also added so you differentiate accordingly should you wish). The PowerPoint has a starter that leads on from the previous lessons learning. The student worksheet incorporates the learning in the lesson. The worksheets can be used to show progress and/or be cut up and stuck in books to avoid unnecessary diagram drawing etc. and use the time for deeper understanding.
The lessons can be bought individually or as a bundle for the lot.
This is lesson 2 of a set of 10 lessons that cover 4.6.3 and 4.6.4 of the new GCSE AQA Biology curriculum. It follows the Oxford book chapter 15 in its chronology.

I have put together a complete system of resources that will allow staff to easily record and monitor the required practical aspect of the new GCSE science that is replacing the old ISA coursework.
The resources include Whole Class Practical Tracker, Pupil Cover Sheets for Each of the Practicals (8 required practical sheets) and an 'On-The-Day' Practical sheets (again one for each of the 8 Chemistry practicals), for the teacher to use in class during the practical to record the Apparatus and Technique (AT) skills that each pupil has to be competent with in Chemistry. This bundle covers the 8 required Chemistry practicals for the Combined Science and Chemistry GCSE's
All of the resources compliment each other, use the key coding for assessment to reduce workload and make things easy.
I have mirrored the A'Level AQA Practical Assessment for the AQA GCSE, it just seemed logical so that the systems are similar.
I have bundled these resources so that it is more cost efficient.
If you wish to see how the bundle works and see some screenshots then the instructions are a free download on my page.
Enjoy.

This resource contains 29 quick quizzes I have compiled for the AS AQA new Biology course. Each quiz has 10 questions of varying difficulty and then the answers. There is a linked excel sheet to record results and instructions as how to link the PowerPoint to the excel sheet (can be used without linking to the excel sheet as a stand alone resource too).
The PowerPoint contains 29 quizzes spanning the whole AS course with questions and answers and an integrated results sheet to record the results from your class and a handy macro will rank them in order depending on their average through the quizzes. From the menu screen you can skip to any quiz and return back to the menu.
Great for starters, plenaries and revision throughout the year.

Since the declaration that GCSE Science pupils wont be able to use equations sheets in future exams, I have been thinking of a system that will help them learn the equations and help staff in facilitating that learning. I have devised this. It is supposed to be used as a starter / plenary for pupils to go over and over and try to implant the equations over time. I will use it in every lesson, parrot fashion for success!
This is not board specific as they all will need to learn them, and can be used for the current legacy GCSE students too as a revision resource.
This demo only has the questions for 'Acceleration' questions, but you will get a good idea of what the paid product will be like. The GCSE PHYSICS Speed Equations full can be found in my store. It has questions on SI Units Questions, Speed/Distance/Time (v=d/t), Acceleration (a=v/t), Force?mass?Acceleration (F=ma), Kinetic Energy (KE = 1/2 m v ^2), Wavelength/Frequency (v=ƒ λ) and Momentum (p=mv) HIGHER TIER Only.
There are another demos and full powerpoint on Energy Equations and Electricity Equations on my page. I have used the template for my ABCD cards for this endeavour, but you don't need those to utilise these PowerPoints.
Enjoy.

This demo only has the questions for SI units questions, but you will get a good idea of what the paid product will be like. The GCSE PHYSICS Energy Equations full can be found in my store. It has questions on SI units, Gravitational Potential Energy, Kinetic Energy, Efficiency, Power and Specific Heat Capacity.
These take some time to make, but I will group the other equations together as I have for the energy equations. I have used the template for my ABCD cards for this endeavour, but you don't need those to utilise these PowerPoints. Be patient, I'm going as fast as I can.

This AQA Additional Paper Analysis Tool will collate the 'mock' results and using the actual grade boundaries will give a grade for a) the whole paper, b) individual grades for the Biology, Chemistry and Physics aspects and c) will show the levels of progress the student has made.
This has been invaluable as a monitoring and intervention tool to target individuals and classes that are falling behind.
The screen shots to see how this looks when populated can be downloaded free from my page.
These are traffic light cards designed by myself as ever other ones I could find were not good enough. These were originally for science but can be used for any subject.
I have attached the template PowerPoint which can be used with these. I have a set of 30 made and laminated that are a superb resource for starters, plenaries and in class assessment to show progress in the lesson. I have set it up fot 10 questions, but you can add more easily.
The two sheets are supposed to be printed back to back so that the colours match on both sides.
This easy chart will allow you to assess the risks with your practical and use the advice on the chart to plan accordingly.
Useful for all staff who teach science and who need to show how they have assessed the risk.
