Notes for the AQA A-level Applied Science course for pupils. Unit 2 Energy Transfers Unit 8 Medical Physics I have recently updated both booklets as there were a couple of mistakes in the equations, something that happens when you work too late into the night! Thanks to those of you who have posted comments if you want any other resources please send me a message via TES I will then email you my other resources I have made over the years.

Christmas Key Stage 3 Science Lesson. This lesson is aimed at Y9 students. It uses a displacement reaction between silver nitrate and copper to form pretty silver crystals on the copper wire bent into a Christmas tree. Fun, educational and should get you through the last week before Christmas hols!

<p>This presentation and worksheet will help students get to grips with some of the working scientifically terminolgy. This includes collaborative structures, matching keyword games, HSW past exam question quiz. The powerpoint and matching worksheet are great for Year 11 revision of these skills or can be used at any time, or even as a great cover lesson as all of the answers are there so a non-specialist should be able to deliver this lesson. It will help students get to grips with some of the keywords needed for the required practicals.</p>

<p>Designed for AQA GCSE Physics , combined specification or Physics GCSE*<br /> This resource contains information handout sheets for each of the required practicals for Combined Science, which contain all the students need to know and then a matching worksheet to test students understanding and recall. There are matching mark schemes for each of the worksheets. These are great for revising the required practical techniques with students in preparation for the exam or nice summaries and homework/plenary tasks after completing the tasks with students during the teaching of the course.<br /> Practicals covered include:<br /> 1, Specific Heat Capacity<br /> 2. Investigating factors affecting resistance - both length and resistors in series and parallel are covered<br /> 3. Investigating IV Characteristics<br /> 4. Determining densities of regular, irregular shaped objects and liquids.</p> <p>*COMING SOON - I will add the PHYSICS ONLY required practical - Investigating thermal insulators for paper 1 and also Required practical sheets for Paper 2 practicals.</p>

Revision lesson resource for AQA C1 Atomic Structure revision lesson and A3 double sided worksheet to accompany the PowerPoint and provide students with a comprehensive set of revision notes. The lesson contains several different tasks breaking the lesson up or you or your students could cherry pick from the activities to address those areas that need improving.<br /> <br /> This lesson works well when collaborative learning structures are used for the tasks.

This lesson contains a number of collaborative learning tasks which cover the main topics for revision of the B1 Cells topic. There are worksheets to accompany some of the tasks. My students thoroughly enjoyed this revision lesson. There is also a Next Steps worksheet (print in A4) designed for students to use once they have identified their areas for improvement, they cut out the tasks they need to work on and stick in their books and complete (there is a mark scheme on slides 3 and 4 of the next steps for students to peer or self assess their answers to each task.

<p>AQA GCSE Biology 9-1 Paper 2 Revision Picture quiz - 50 questions, suitable for Combined and Triple courses, foundation and higher.</p> <p>Resources<br /> Print out slides 6-55 (preferably in colour) and stick up around the room, or show as a powerpoint slide quiz.<br /> Printout quiz sheet (slides 2-3) and give it to each student.<br /> Printout answers (slides 4-5) for peer marking</p> <p>Lesson plan<br /> Students tour the room and answer the questions on their sheet, or show questions as a presentation on the board.<br /> Students then swap sheets and peer mark as the teacher goes through the answers.</p>

<p>50 Question Picture Quiz for AQA GCSE Physics Forces Topic (higher and physics only questions are highlighted so can easily be adapted for combined)</p> <p>Resources<br /> Print out slides 6-55 (preferably in colour) and stick up around the room or show as a slide show.<br /> Printout quiz sheet (slides 2-3) and give it to each student.<br /> Printout answers (slides 4-5) for peer marking</p> <p>How to use<br /> Students tour the room and answer the questions on their sheet OR you can show each question and give students time to answer.<br /> Students then swap sheets and peer mark as the teacher goes through the answers.</p>

<p>A fun quiz to help students recap the topic of Respiration. There are four rounds; 1. Respiration, 2. Anaerobic Respiration, 3. Effect of Exercise, 4. Fermentation. Each round consists of …<br /> A. Say what you see<br /> B. Definition<br /> C. Complete me<br /> D. Picture<br /> E. Exam question<br /> Number crazy (for this round print the sheet at the end of the powerpoint so students can select the correct answer which corresponds to a number).</p> <p>I have used this for Higher ability Year 8 and GCSE students so useful for all age ranges. It includes a starter conundrum and some true/false questions if you have time for a plenary. Hope your students enjoy!</p>

<p>This lesson was used for an interview (I got the job!) but can be used to teach the Specific Heat capacity practical. This resource includes, PowerPoint, guided lesson plan, method for the practical for both high and mid to low ability (mid to low guides students through the calculations), past paper graded questions which includes a application question for homework for high attaining students.<br /> The lesson plan details step by step on how to deliver the lesson and the resources required.</p>

<p>A picture quiz, including 50 questions on the Particle Model of Matter topic and Atomic Structure topic, suitable for higher and foundation triology students (it could also be used for Triple physics as you could easily add some questions to cover the extra content. Great for Year 11 revision or end of year revision when these two paper 1 topics have been completed.</p> <p>Resources<br /> Print out slides 6-55 (preferably in colour) and stick up around the room<br /> Printout quiz sheet (slides 2-3) and give it to each student.<br /> Printout answers (slides 4-5) for peer marking</p> <p>Lesson plan<br /> Students tour the room and answer the questions on their sheet.<br /> Students then swap sheets and peer mark as the teacher goes through the answers.</p>

<p>A set of Question and swap cards for Paper 1 physics, each topic has 36 cards with a question and the full answer to help students improve their recall of important facts for the Paper 1 Physics examination. Here are a couple of ways you can use these cards as revision activities. I would suggest printing and laminating the cards so they last.</p> <p><strong>Topics covered:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Atomic Structure cards</li> <li>Electricity</li> <li>Particle model of Matter</li> <li>Energy</li> </ul> <p><strong>Question and Swap - Collaborative Structure</strong><br /> They can be used as class sets, give each student a card -all students stand up and raise their hand.</p> <ul> <li>Walk around the room until you find someone with their hand up - partner up and put your hand down.</li> <li>Ask your partner your question.</li> <li>Praise their answer and coach if necessary. Your partner will do the same with their question.</li> <li>Thank each other, swap cards and raise your hand and walk around the room to find another partner.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Pick a Card - Play as a table of 4 students</strong></p> <ul> <li>Person 1 asks person 2 to pick a card</li> <li>Person 2 picks a card and ask the question to person 3</li> <li>Person 3 answers the question</li> <li>Person 4 praises person 3 for their answer, recap it and say if it is right or wrong, mentor person 3 if they are incorrect.</li> <li>Everyone praises person 3 and then they swap roles.</li> </ul>

<p>This lesson contains a powerpoint, worksheet and past exam question to guide students through the history of the atom and how the model has changed over time. It provides opportunity for students to improve their technique to extended response questions. It is important that you read the notes for each slide as many of the slides deliberately contain just pictures so students do not experience cognitive overload and are required to listen to the information you give them before completing each section of the worksheet. There are built in opportunities for peer and self assessment too.</p>
