New AQA GCSE Biology 9-1 Specification, printable active revision card activities. All content in here so suitable for individual sciences, trilogy, higher or foundation. My particular version is aimed at single science higher tier, can be easily adapted to suit your trilogy or foundation students.
I have grouped together all topics 1 to 7 active revision card activities, to give a great value complete revision pack for the entire GCSE content for students. Helpful for teachers as guidance to the specification. The largest topics were produced in two parts, giving you a total of 10 documents in your bundle, each part is being offered separately. Students are welcome to buy directly to help with their own revision, can help to understand the content a little easier - use together with your class notes and revision guide.
Teachers - help your lessons along to outstanding, I have seen very quick progress in my own students since I started using this format, students love them and are very willing to try. They are so useful and versatile, - revision cards, starters or plenaries, support mats, instructional material in the flipped classroom.
This lesson is the second lesson of the new AQA Biology and Trilogy 9-1 specification (topic 1).
It covers an introduction of animal, plant and bacteria cells.
Each lesson provides take away learning card(s) so the students can keep a record of the content for that lesson, this lesson provides activities to meet the following outcomes.
Describe the structure of animal, plant and bacterial cells.
These lessons have a basic presentation, which can be made to look more engaging with free pictures from the internet which I cannot sell due to copyright, however the teaching from the lessons can be outstanding when customised to your own school/classes requirements and used together with my other suggested documents (also attached).
My lessons contain all of the elements to make an outstanding lesson. I include with this lesson a free copy of my templates and student/teacher agreement, which I use to allow teaching to be outstanding on every level, including many of my own ideas not sold in any other toolkits or publications. I have taken feedback on my outstanding lessons to incorporporate the outstanding features into every lesson, that actually extend beyond the classroom.

These slides help pupils gain the skills and experience required for the 11+ Verbal Reasoning and Non- Verbal Reasoning papers. These were put together in the GL assessment style, although can also be good practise for any reasoning style papers. There are a range of activities to build skills and expertise from match ups to investigations, including a mastery task at the end which can be used as a timed activity. There is plenty here for a 1 hour lesson/workshop, good for 1:1 or classroom.
Contains: Numeracy, Literacy, Related Words, Make 2 new words, Related Words, Shapes Relationships, Reflection/Rotation, Sums.
I hope this will help teachers, pupils, and parents tutoring their children through the 11+.

New AQA GCSE Physics 9-1 specification. Four tarsia activity puzzle documents included on; energy, electricity, particle model, atomic structure. Each one produces a different shape, there is one domino, one triangle, a rhombus and a standard parallelogram.
My students have loved these activities, they are fun to work on in pairs, they guide the students to revise the particular key words etc that I know they will need to recall, and used together with my support mats (a large print out of my active revision card activities), the students can look up anything they are unsure of (they can quickly go over the content again).
OR a useful marking free homework - at a glance check the student have correct shape, can be peer marked by posting up the solution on the board.
You will require the free tarsia software downloaded to your computer, simply google it and install, if you would like on your school computer your computer technicians should be happy to help.
