Revision summary sheet for C9, crude oil & fuels for AQA GCSE Combined Science Trilogy. Covers crude oil & hydrocarbons, fractional distillation, cracking and combustion.

Students watch the demo of group 1 metals reaction with water, writing down their observations, then write the equations for these reactions and answer questions on them. Stretch task of writing symbol equations.

Revision sheet covering the acid-related topics from Chemical Changes. (Does not include any extracting metals/electrolysis content from this unit)

Students use the information in the table to find out about the different rock types and fill in the table. I followed this up with: 'Write a guide for a Brownies/Scouts/Guides group to explain how they can decide whether a rock is sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic.‘ Stretch task: do this as a flow chart.’

Summary sheet for revision of waves topic light section, covering reflection, refraction and dispersion. Used with a mixed-ability Y8 but could work with most years.

Used with low ability Y7.

Revision summary sheet for AQA Activate Energy Part 2 - includes heat transfer (conduction, convection and radiation), work done and simple machines, along with some science skills.

Revision sheet with answers for triple/separate Chemistry Only content from AQA GCSE Chemistry, Chemical Analysis topic. Includes flame tests, flame emission spectroscopy/flame photometry, metal hydroxide, halide, carbonate, sulfate.

Students arrange the models of the atom into a timeline and add the statements that describe each model. They can then use this as a scaffold to demonstrate their learning, e.g. by recreating the timeline in their book or writing ‘The Story of the Model of the Atom’. Or they can stick it straight in their books if they have 1 copy each - I laminated because a) I wanted to use the resource again, and b) I wanted my low ability group to draw the timeline themselves to embed the knowledge). Used with a low-ability Y10 group for both atomic structure and radioactivity topics to help them visualise the development of the atom - I played this video to help them (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4Us5PTb4J8), could also be used with the information sheets or as a revision activity. Stretch: blue boxes contain either an evaluation fo the model or information on how it was developed (e.g. cathode ray tube, alpha scattering experiment). These could be omitted and students asked to write this information on post-it notes instead. I have tried to organise the boxes in a way that minimise the time taken to cut out.

Students look at various food labels and find out how much protein, fat (including saturates), carbohydrates (including sugars), fibre and minerals are in each product.

Table used with Y10 to research renewable/non-renewable energy resources and their advantages/disadvantages.

Activity used with Y7 class for a lesson on the menstrual cycle - I used this with the information sheets as an information hunt acitivity, but could work with laptops, a video or as a cover work activity with textbooks. Challenge questions to print on the back, differentiated gap-fill version included.

Scaffolded worksheet that shows students how to answer questions on melting/boiling point and link these to structure and bonding. Includes examples for giant covalent, ionic, simple molecular and metallic. Students use their new skills to answer 4 real past exam questions. Good for revising C3 (Structure and Bonding).

Electronic structure diagrams for the first 20 elements, up to and including Calcium. Feel free to use in any of your resources, either commercial or personal.

Basic lesson on how to balance equations (with worked examples), conservation of mass, and state symbols in symbol equations.

Homework I made for Y7 as a revision of our cells topic. Covers microscopes, plant VS animal cells and specialised plant cell example (root hair cell).

I created this workbook for my students when studying atmosphere (composition of the early and modern atmospheres, greenhouse effect, global warming & climate changes, carbon footprint and atmospheric pollution). I have tried to include concise, clear notes for students to refer to, and some practice questions. There is a section for students to write down key definitions (most of these are indicated clearly within the text). I hope it is useful for you!

Answers on the back of the sheet, print in A3.

A team challenge I created for my Y9 group at the end of C1 and C2, to recap both topics and to finish off the year. You could also use it at the start/middle of Y10 to recap what they have already done from GCSE. The challenges include making a model atom out of copper wire and mini marshmallows and modelling halogen displacement using lego bricks - you may wish to change these activities if you don’t have the resources to hand. The image I used in the corridor was a C1/C2 summary sheet (from TES). All images on the Element Zoo sheet are CC0 (free for commercial use, no attribution required). Enjoy!

Sheet to be used with an information hunt/research activity on polymers.
