I am a chemistry teacher, I spend lots of time making resources and decided to share them here on TES. Most are free or have free sample versions, but the best and most detailed ones that I'm particular proud of I sell for around £2-£5.

This is the full resource pack for an assessment for KS4 students who are studying limestone, building materials, matching properties to uses, thermal decomposition and method writing.
The resource pack comes with several parts;
1. PowerPoint presentation to introduce the task.
2. Word document printout for the students to stick in their books.
3. Word document printout with a level ladder on so that the students can self/peer assess the work.
4. Excel spreadsheet that can be used to automatically generate extended written feedback including improvement strategies for the teacher to give the students.
A guide on how to use this resource can be freely accessed at
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/the-automarker-11191496
5. Word document printout writing frame to assist students who may benefit from additional help with this task.
This is based on an old AQA Chemistry Exam Paper. This task is good for training students to answer long questions i.e. 6 mark questions at GCSE, or preparing students from writing pieces of coursework that require method writing skills.
This task is suitable for students at Grade E-A*, however I have removed some of these grades so that you can use the old or new grading system.
This is the free version of an assessment for KS3/KS4 students who are studying space, satellites, how distance from the sun affects the temperature of the planet.
I have also produced a resource pack available to purchase from TES at

2. Word document printout for the students to stick in their books.
3. Word document printout with a level ladder on so that the students can self/peer assess the work, there is also a column so the teacher can tick off the achieved criteria.
4. Word document containing a mark scheme.
5. Excel spreadsheet that can be used to automatically generate extended written feedback including improvement strategies for the teacher to give the students.

6. Word document printout writing frame to assist students who may benefit from additional help with this task.
7. JPEG images showing a hand-drawn versions of the graph, this may also be useful for students who aren't confident in starting to plot graphs.
This is based on an old Badger Task. This task is rather tricky and would probably be best for high ability KS3 and KS4. The graph plotting could be done on computers.
This task is suitable for students at Grade 3-8 however I have removed these grades so that you can use the old or new grading system.

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 PHYSICS, 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.

I made this spread sheet for my department to help keep track of how well the current year 10s (leaving July 2017) do on their coursework that is due for submission March 2017.
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.
