This involves the students plotting some given results on a graph, identifying variables, extrapolation from a line of best fit and evaluating their work. This task is suitable for KS3 students at level 3-7, however this could be adapted for KS4 students.

These are the resources for a unit on the periodic table, atoms, mixtures, purity, chemical reactions, Harry Potter potion lesson, exothermic reactions, endothermic reactions, catalysts and reactions of metals. QM stands for Quality Mark which is a levelled formative assessment based on scientific skills. In the powerpoints I use: -Yellow boxes- to show the students what to write in their books. - Blue boxes- for tasks that the students should do. LA after a powerpoint's name means it is for Low Abilities HA after a powerpoint's name means it is for High Abilities I do not own all of the content in these resources, no copyright is intended, any offending resources will be removed.

I have been through the specifications for the new AQA Science qualification covering Biology (8461), Chemistry (8462) and Physics (8463). This resource pack contains just the CHEMISTRY, but I have also posted the others too separately to make it easier for you to get just the part you need. All the attached resources are either AQA documents or my shortened version of them. I have converted the PDF specification into word documents so that they are easier to use and then extracted smaller parts from these specifications to make them easier to quickly reference. For the Biology, Chemistry and Physics I have extracted from the main specification the required mathematical skills for each science, and the new required practical's. For the required practical's I have made a shortened version to be used as a quick reference. For the other sciences click the links below: BIO https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/new-aqa-biology-2016-onwards-scheme-of-work-required-practials-and-maths-11339330 CHEM https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/new-aqa-chemistry-2016-onwards-scheme-of-work-required-practials-and-maths-11339898 PHYS https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/new-aqa-physics-2016-onwards-scheme-of-work-required-practicals-and-maths-11339902

This is a worksheet I made to help my students to practice the graphs skills required for the ISA controlled assessment, I've also included questions that regularly come up on paper two. This sheet has been done in the context of testing how temperature affects the viscosity of oils however this could easily be adapted to suit other investigations. I intend on uploading a mark scheme for this after I have delivered this lesson.

This activity is about getting the students to think outside the box and to design a new item based on a new material that has an unusual property. I usually start the lesson by showing the students a youtube video on Accidental Discoveries by gzfraud. Which gives the students an idea of how many discoveries were made by accident. Then presenting them with the scenario shown on the Powerpoint. D30 is a product which uses the unusual property of ‘turning sold when hit’ to create a range of protective wear that can take large impact without it or the item its protecting being damaged. This activity is perfect for end of term as it can fit anywhere in a unit and provides a fun yet scientific end of term activity. The students enjoy it best when its done as a competition. This may also be appropriate for STEM days.

Just a quick spread sheet that shows each lesson title in each unit in AQA's new (accredited in 2016) courses for Biology (8461), Chemistry (8462)and Physics (8463). This could be used as a route through the GCSE used to inform planning, I actually made it to tick off the work covered so far so that whoever picks up my classes knows what they have already done. The required practical's are highlighted in orange. The triple science content is bordered in blue.

This is a newer unit that I have created from numerous resources, and includes: Rock Types- igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. The Rock Cycle Properties of materials metals and non-metals The Reactivity Series Displacement and reactions Extracting metals from their ores Matching materials to their properties. QM stands for Quality Mark which is a levelled formative assessment based on scientific skills and understanding of modelling concepts In the powerpoints I use: -Yellow boxes- to show the students what to write in their books. - Blue boxes- for tasks that the students should do.

This is an amalgamation of several TES resources I have collected over the years, I have combined them together to make a checklist for revising C2 additional chemistry that can be easily printed as a booklet (only 3 pages)
