Huge pack of resources to teach a module on thinking skills and metacognitive approaches to science exam questions. Aimed at year 10/11 double or triple scientists. The resources focus on skills and contain examples from biology, chemistry and physics. The questions selected can usually be answered from the information in the question meaning this work can be incorporated into teaching without worrying too much about where you are in the syllabus. Mark schemes are included. Metacognition, which includes ideas such as learning to learn and developing thinking skills, can be applied to the way students tackle examination questions. This scheme of learning and accompanying lessons and resources,for science skills, breaks down the different types of questions that students meet and supports them to find learned strategies that work for them in how to tackle those questions. Each skill comes complete with a PowerPoint, worksheet and mark scheme. The resources are based on AQA materials but the skills are transferable across other exam boards. All three sciences: biology, chemistry and physics, are covered. Connections and tick boxes Data in tables Graphs Data in bar and pie charts Comprehension and application Command words Complicated diagrams Extended response questions Professor Bunsen resources are tested in school and make GCSE science engaging and exciting. Most importantly it could save you and your school time! The accompanying worksheet allows students to practice and for you to give feedback and help them to improve. The answers are included to help the busy teacher or non-specialist.
