Can be used as a homework or cover lesson (or as a class activity) for exam technique purposes and consolidation of this all-pervasive concept. Potential answers included for ease of marking. Can be used for all specifications.

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.

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.

two worksheets, one for Biology students and one for Higher tier combined students, differentiated to 2 levels (hence 4 worksheets in total). AQA references: Biology: 4.5.2.4 (temperature) and 4.5.3.3 (water level control)/combined: 4.5.3.7 (thyroxine) and 4.5.3.2 (blood glucose) Edexcel references: Biology: 7.10B (temperature and water level control)/ combined: 7.3 (thyroxine) and 7.14 and 7.14 (blood glucose) Useful for consolidation of the term 'negative feedback' and revision of examples encountered in the course. Also has a real life example (thermostat) and relates negative feedback to their own feelings for re-enforcement. Model answers included.

Includes lesson plans, teacher notes and resources for both higher and foundation tier for the new specification GCSE chemistry. Modelled on the AQA sequence, but would work for other boards (Edexcel and AQA references included). All activities are fully differentiated and suggested home works are included. LESSON 1: starts with a story 'five create an atmosphere', where the students listen and complete a table to give an overview of atmosphere evolution. They then take 'part of the puzzle' and produce a drama in groups (alternative activity suggested for the shy). The drama is peer assessed LESSON 2: students develop their mathematical skills by producing graphs to compare the early and today's atmosphere LESSON 3 AND 4: students are developing campaign materials for an environmental movement about green house gases and their reduction. There is an opportunity for them to present their work LESSON 5: a market place activity to develop knowledge of atmospheric pollutants, followed by an exam technique activity

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.

The first lesson is an information gathering exercise to define specific heat capacity and use specific heat capacities to calculate energy required. In the final activity, they are given varying levels of support (according to ability) to devise a method for determining specific heat capacity of copper and iron, as a group activity. The suggested homework here supports this and is for the students to research a method into how they would find the specific heat capacity of certain methods. this is in preparation for the following lesson. The second lesson is to carry out this investigation, as a required practical and has been differentiated according to practical ability (you may prefer other forms of differentiation). The aim is to produce a graph, that is to be assessed at the end of the session. Extension tasks are included, at different levels of ability

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.

The first lesson is about review of solubility of salts rules (with a song) and the required practical for qualitative analysis for AQA - this has been differentiated and organised according to practical ability of the students and reducing resource use (e.g. microchemistry is used), but you may prefer to organise it a different way. The second lesson focusses on the results of testing and associated equations, including ionic. Here the students are given substances and have to create questions for a class quiz, the quiz being done at the end of the lesson. The substances have been chosen to give to students of different ability and potential examples are included, if you prefer a more teacher led lesson. The third lesson is Flame Spectroscopy. Suggested home works are included, including 'chemical analysis lift the flap', which is sold separately. Opportunities for exam technique are included, with a focus on command words.

Please note, that this resource is included in the lessons for chemical analysis that I have created, if you prefer to purchase whole lessons. Instructions included in the resource. Based on new specification for both AQA and Edexcel chemistry courses, but would work for other exam boards (specification references are included). The students use the correct colours for precipitates formed with chemical analysis tests, cut out the flaps and insert them into the correct spaces. Differentiated to three levels of difficulty. I thought it might be good for them to stick the completed resource on the inside of their chemistry book, although it is best printed on A4 for ease of manipulation on its creation. Could be used as a home work, in a revision or cover lesson.

Ideal as a homework. Differentiated to lower, middle and higher abilities, each with a progress question of more difficulty. There is also a mixed worksheet, where all levels are present, if you prefer to use this one. The questions include chemical analysis testing, balanced symbol equations and ionic equations. Suitable for all exam boards. Answers are included for ease of marking.

Developed for the new specification AQA exam board, but would work for other exam boards. Higher tier lesson are also available (which has the added lesson for fertility treatment) The menstrual cycle lesson starts with 'menst side story' where the students complete a table and then go on to make a cartoon based on knowledge gained. The second lesson requires the students to take on the role of the hormones (or other characters) to develop their peer teaching skills. Resources are fully differentiated and there is opportunity to explore exam command words. Suggested home works are included as well as required resources and potential alternative activities.
