Speed, distance, time lesson. Literacy and numeracy focus. Could change the journey to one which would be relevant for students elsewhere in the country. <br />
Information needed for the dictogloss activity is at the back of the powerpoint.<br />
Differentiated equation practice adapted from another TES user - thank you!<br />
Please leave comments and suggestions for improvement.
<p>Active lesson, ideal for low ability students. Introduces what a salt is, how to identify an acid, alkali and salt from their names. Perfect for students who may find the pattern for naming salts difficult to spot and follow.</p>
<p>The capital ‘I’ on each page stands for ‘initiative’. This is the skill I asked the students to focus on in the lesson - to use their initiative to look at the information to help them with each task etc.</p>
<p>Follows full logic for how to name salts from basics of how to spot acids and alkalis. Two steps to the lesson:<br />
Step 1. How do you identify acids, alkalis and salts from their names?<br />
Step 2: How do you name salts?</p>
<p>Plenary tests:<br />
Can you find the acid, alkali and salt in word equations?<br />
Can you identify the salt made from a acid and alkali?<br />
Can you identify the acids and alkalis that are needed to make a specific salt?<br />
Can you write a full word equation for neutralisation reactions?</p>
<p>Lesson covers the whole of the ‘4.7.3 Biodiversity and the effect of human interaction on ecosystems’ topic in AQA GCSE Biology and Trilogy Combined Science Specifications.</p>
<p>Flow chart links all the ideas together and makes the relationships between cause and consequence clear.<br />
Analysis of colour coding of the flow chart supports students to understand the topic and how to use colour in their revision.<br />
Focus on 6 mark answers; how to plan and write them.</p>
<p>Lesson on wind and insect pollination. Focus on literacy skills, working on describing, explaining and evaluating the differences between wind and insect pollination. Differentiated text to learn about the two types of pollination (version 1 and 2). Writing support. Suggestion for starter and plenary.<br />
Rated outstanding by an Ofsted inspector.</p>
<p>This PowerPoint contains all the Physics Equations for AQA Trilogy Paper 2. The format is written as question and answers for easy quizzing. Triangles are given to support rearranging, and silly ways to remember the equations are given.</p>
<p>This document is animated so is perfect as a tool in class to support students to learn the equations and quiz students. It works well in a live lesson as you can bring up bits on the slide one at a time and get students to say / write a comment to say what is coming next - e.g. what the equation is or what the units are. It could also be used to make flash cards or a display.</p>
<p>On one slide the question is all written in the format as given in the exam (components of the equation in alphabetical order). On the next slide, the equation is given as in the specification, the scientific notation for the equation, the rearranged versions, a triangle to support rearrangement and a mnemonic and image to aid recall. Higher tier only formulae are identified. This document provides this for all the equations in paper 2.</p>
<p>Four tables summarising carbohydrate, lipid, protein and nucleic acids. Aim: reducing confusion over the different bonds and molecules. Used as a summary document to support student revision. Students used the sheets to make their own revision cards.</p>

<p>Mindmap of all the topics for Biology AQA. Shows students what the course involves. Students can use it to tick off the topics they have covered in class or revised. Useful for getting students to think about links between topics and modelling the uses of mindmaps.</p>
<p>Chemistry homeworks.</p>
<p>Designed using ideas from the maths PRET homeworks. Small chucks. Literacy, memory, video, exam practice and stretch tasks included.</p>
<p>I will be using them as revision tools for homework. Therefore they cover a broad range of topics within a homework to support spaced learning/revision.</p>
<p>‘teacher’ files have answers in. ‘smh’ files do not have answers in.</p>
<p>Two lessons (both in the same PPT) which develop student science skills and understanding of exothermic and endothermic reactions. Differentiated group work included.</p>
<p>Lesson using SOLO hexagons to link together digestion, circulation and breathing to explain why heart rate and breathing are are affected by exercise. It is designed for a long lesson/double. Independent. Need a textbook/laptop/dictionaries for research alongside the tasks. Includes a differentiated key word writing frame for final task.</p>
<p>Mindmap for AQA Trilogy / Synergy content for electricity. Students can add their own images around the text to help them to revise the information.</p>
<p>The AQA Energy topic can be confusing for students as there are lots of equations. Some students find it challenging to see how the equations are related, including their links to the core of the unit: stores and pathways. I’ve seen students feel demoralized - ‘<em>oh not another one</em>!’. This resource aims to tackle that.</p>
<p>This resource aims to increase the clarity of this topic for students, and it links to equations in later topics too, thus increasing students’ synoptic understanding. It can be used at the start of the topic to show the road map for the learning ahead, or at the end as a review, or as a poster for the classroom, or placemats that students can use during the lessons. Or any other way you see fit!</p>
<p>There are three pages in this resource and a PDF and PowerPoint version have been included. The PowerPoint it easy to edit to remove equations. You can delete ones you don’t want to introduce to your students yet, then introduce them back later when you are ready to. The third slide is useful as a reference sheet throughout Physics.</p>
<ol>
<li>Energy Stores and related equations</li>
<li>Energy Pathways and related equations</li>
<li>Quantities, Units and Conversions involved in the topic</li>
</ol>
<p>This resource is designed to show students how the equations link to the overall concepts of the stores and pathways. It supports students to see where the equations have come from and how they link together.</p>
<p>It can be used to model how to create effective revision tools using colour to clarify ideas.</p>
<p>I hope you find it useful! My email is included in the downloads. Please get in touch if you have any questions about the resource.</p>

<p>Mindmap to summarise bonding. Makes similarities and differences clear. Excellent for modelling mindmaps and supporting student revision. E.g. they can use the mindmap to make revision cards or answer questions.</p>
<p>Mindmaps showing how ideas in the disease topics for AQA link together. Excellent for modelling mindmaps and for students to use as a resource to answer questions.</p>
<p>Specification points for separate science only. I am using it with a separate science class which I am teaching the separate science aspects of the course too. It has supported the students to see how their separate science lessons link to the content in their other lessons which focus on the content in the combined science course. The students change the score on the confidence tracker as we cover content in class and they revise it.</p>
<p>AQA communicable disease and defence mindmaps.<br />
One overall mindmap of all AQA biology topics too. Students can tick off each topic as they revise it, as they do with a RAG sheet.</p>
