Based on the AQA specification (references included), but would work for other boards. Worksheet 1 takes about 10 minutes to complete and introduces some important key terms for the Ecology module and introduces interdependence by way of a food web. Worksheet 2 takes about 25 - 30 minutes to complete and has graded exam-style questions for the students to complete for exam technique purposes. Both worksheets could be used for a homework, revision lesson, cover, catch-up (absent students) or as questions within a lesson.

Revision slides for students to complete. It takes a full lesson (suggested starter and plenary included). The students are given strict time limits to complete each card and it can be used either as a research lesson or as a teacher led lesson. My year 7 students found this topic very difficult, so I used it as a teacher led activity - they definitely found the topic easier at the end of this lesson. Colour coded for differentiation (red for lower ability; blue for middle ability and green for higher ability) so that you can select which students do which tasks, with opportunity to progress for 'red' and 'blue' students. Answers included for your convenience.

Based on the AQA triple course, but will work for other boards (AQA and Edexcel references included). The students have to complete a table about the production, properties , uses and examples of composites, alloys, polymers and ceramics. They then need to decide on which properties make a material suitable to particular jobs. good for: part of a lesson, homework, catch up sheet for absent students, cover, part of an independent project if lesson time is short. differentiation: 3 levels of difficulty, the easiest is suggested for foundation triple students, but could also be an easier worksheet again for higher students. The foundation sheet could be used for KS3 Suggested answers included in a separate document

Suitable for all exam boards I have tried to base questions around the type of questions that may come up in exams: method descriptions, method improvement, reliability, calculations, etc. concept revision slides and suggested answers are included. differentiation: to higher and foundation/easier levels timing for whole resource: easily 45 minutes Good for: revision, homeworks, cover lessons, absent students, exam technique lessons, plenaries or starters

Suitable for all exam boards I have tried to base questions around the type of questions that may come up in exams: method descriptions, method improvement, reliability, calculations, etc. concept revision slides and suggested answers are included. timing for whole resource: easily one hour Good for: revision, homeworks, cover lessons, absent students, exam technique lessons, plenaries or starters

This is a full lesson with prescriptive instructions, aimed at AQA and Edexcel specifications (references included), but would work for other boards. The main objectives are to research the information and to practice use of command words and general exam technique. The students are given exam style questions and in groups, are to research the information required to produce 'perfect answers' They then assess the answers given to different questions by others and make adjustments to the answers, as necessary. Exam questions are tailored to ability and there is a focus throughout on exam command words. The lesson ends with the students attempting to assign a grade to the exam questions they have been exposed to during the lesson and there is a suggested homework, where the students produce follow-up notes. Suggested 'indicative content' is included in the teacher notes, but are intended to guide the teacher, rather than for the students to compare given answers with. However, this could be used for this purpose, if you prefer. Also included is a slide that gives notes needed to answer the questions, if you are a bookless school. This may be projected up, depending on the layout of your classroom, or printed.

Groups work where students build a model of what happens at the electrodes, in stages, and then photographs each stage (example included at the end of the PowerPoint). This is to help them visualise how to build half equations.The student writes up their work, using their photographs, for homework. I got my students to put their home work on a revision card for them to keep for mocks and GCSE. The lesson and resources are differentiated to three levels of difficulty.

I used this lesson with year 7's - hint: the main mistake the higher ability students make is not reading the first part of the sheet, which contains the information they need to complete the task. There is a teacher -led part where an explanation is given on how to name sulphides, etc and then the students have a go. Then, another teacher lead part to explain '-ates'. The students then have a go. DIFFERENTIATION: lower ability: tasks in red boxes middle ability: tasks in blue boxes higher ability: tasks in green boxes/on separate sheet for second part of the lesson OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROGRESSION: student can go on the next level task and middle/higher ability students are given a challenge . Timings given in the lesson plan are approximate.

based on SMART KS3 course and AQA Biology course. References for AQA and Edexcel included. The students are given a task card, success criteria and information and develop a drama. The task card suggests the characters that might be needed, but you can ask the students to use their own characters if you feel this is best for them. As all the students will be doing the same topic, my suggestion is that they create and perform in the same lesson. All information is differentiated to four levels, so is suitable from lower ability KS3 right the way up to higher ability GCSE objectives: subject knowledge, creativity, collaboration, presentation skills alternative: the resources could be used to create a model/ story or whatever if you have some shy students

Based on AQA and Edexcel syllabi, but would work for other boards. Worked example and practice question(s) per sheet for all calculations in chemistry: RFM, the mole, mole and equations, mole and equations with volume of gases, concentration of solution, atom economy, percentage yield, titration calculations, strong and weak acids and bond energies. Includes all topics for Foundation and Higher combined course and the triple course (the course to which the topic pertains is put in the notes - if there is no note, it is for all students. Answers included for ease of marking objective: maths, revision/consolidation differentiation: the questions come in 2 levels of difficulty 'harder' and 'easier' good for: part of a lesson, e.g. starter; homework; as a set of revision sheets; cover; catch up for absent students
