I am a Science Teacher with 25 years experience and love producing resources. As one of my HoD's remarked "Your lesson plans and resources are outstanding, if only you could teach as good as your resources." Chemistry is my main subject, but have an interest in Pedagogy, especially CASE (Cognitive Acceleration through Science Education) and misconceptions and how to overcome them.

This resource is a booklet with lists of misconceptions, strategies for overcoming them, and quizzes for ascertaining main misconceptions in Forces, Electricity etc.
Update: Want to test how many Christmas misconceptions your students have? Try this new free quiz here:
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/christmas-quiz-free-misconceptions-12448241

It is research based, but written in a practical way and focuses on the use of models, analogies, CASE, interviewing and other strategies.
The most useful part I believe is the lists of misconceptions and a comprehensive index of keywords to help you find the common misconception for that topic/keyword.

Thank you for making it is one of my most downloaded resources.
