Science workbook- exam skills, independent learning & topic knowledge

(5)
I developed this workbook to use with high ability year 9, 10 and 11 in an intervention group to raise their attainment. The idea behind the workbook is to encourage independent learning and to prepare the students for exam questions to build their resilience.<br /> <br /> Topics covered in the workbook:<br /> Cells, tissues and organs <br /> Fundamental Ideas<br /> Energy transfer by heating<br /> <br /> The resources is easily adapted and i used basic power points to accompany the workbook to help cover the topic knowledge. The textbooks the workbook refers to is the AQA GCSE Core textbook and Activate 1&amp;2 textbooks. However these text books are not necessary as they are used as a resources for the students to use to research answers/ideas.<br /> <br /> The end of topic tests and mark schemes are taken from AQA and all credit goes to them.

Designed to be easy for students to use independently and to be very structured.<br /> <br /> Feedback welcomed<br /> :)

Think, Pair, Share Place mat (Simpsons)

(2)
I created this resource to help my lower ability students. The place mat is very effective as it gives the students more structure when given the task to work in pairs.<br /> <br /> I have used this with students with SEND and the students really respond to the structure and better quality work is produced. It worked especially well with students who have social, emotional and mental health difficulties as well as students with MLD and Autism as it gives them a clear structure.<br /> <br /> With this resource you can print it on paper and get the students to write on it and then stick it in their books as evidence of work or use it as a display to prompt students on what they need to do in 'think, pair, share'<br /> <br /> I have also used this recourse by printing it in A3 and laminating it so the students can write on it with a white board pen the it can be cleaned and used again.<br /> <br /> The recourse is easily adapted for example I made this with Homer and Marge Simpson characters but it can very easily be changed and more detail can be added or taken away to differentiate for different students. <br /> <br /> Feedback welcomed :)

High Frequency Word Map (Visual)

I use this high frequency word map with all my students in my intervention groups. I find this resource encourages the students to be more independent. Also the word map has a small image on each letter to enable those students who struggle reading to remember the sound of each letter. The vowels are in green boxes to help the students recognise them.

I also sometimes laminate this and write instructions on for my SEND pupils to follow.<br /> <br /> The resource is easily adapted (each one of my students has their name at the top of their task sheet) <br /> <br /> Feedback welcomed, please comment.<br />

Science activity booklet: topic key words, writing & engagement

(1)
I developed this short activity booklet as a tool to assist with an intervention group that I withdraw from science to work on their vocab. We use the library as a setting for the sessions so I have incorporated that into the activities.<br /> The resources main objectives are to get the students to familiarise themselves with some of the topic keywords as well as engage them in science as a subject. For example the story writing activity is designed to get them researching planets, space and aliens and to get their imagination working as to whether they think aliens do exist somewhere in another galaxy. It is also designed to link English and science together, working on the students reading, writing and comprehension skills.<br /> <br /> The pdf file has a few added worksheets within it.<br /> <br /> This resource is easily adaptable for lower/ higher ability students.<br /> Feedback is welcomed. Thank you<br /> <br /> *I did not create all of the worksheets in the resources all credit goes to those who made them.
