(1)
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.

Professor Bunsen Alpha Resources tailored to the United States NGSS. This resources is written for MS-PS1-1 and introduces a new character for the USA - Seaborg! Academic Standards - NGSS Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures Disciplinary Core Ideas DCI - PS1.A Structure and Properties of Matter Substances are made from different types of atoms, which combine with one another in various ways. Atoms form molecules that range in size from two to thousands of atoms. (MS-PS1-1). Each pure substance has characteristic physical and chemical properties (for any bulk quantity under given conditions) that can be used to identify it. (MS-PS1-2),(MS-PS1-3). The resources are written by a post-doctoral research chemist from the University of Oxford turned secondary school chemistry teacher. Fully resourced with Powerpoints, worksheets and lesson activities and key facts and opportunities for improvement and redrafting throughout.
