I am relatively new to selling resources on TES, so if you like something, please review it! I am constantly updating and developing new resources - I like to concentrate the majority of my time on developing scientific skills through the use of practical work and application - conveniently this sits well with the new GCSE. I also am involved in developing schemes for the new GCSE (at my school) so will post anything I can to help others in this area.

Resources developed as part of a *BIG PRACTICAL*. These are designed to practice a skill - usually using a preliminary investigation - then a full investigation write up. These are tailored toward the way the new GCSE (2016 on wards) is designed to test practical skills as well as context.
First lesson
Resources: Rate-of-reaction-practical (+ppt)
Practical: Pupils complete a preliminary testing three concentrations of HCl on calcium carbonate and collect gas using inverted measuring cylinders.
Activity order: Intro, demo, should be able to complete preliminary practical and write up to preliminary conclusion.
Second/Third lesson
Resources: Rate-of-reaction-practical (+ppt)
Practical: Pupils complete a full practical testing three concentrations of HCl on calcium carbonate and collect gas using inverted measuring cylinders. Complete repeats and exclude outliers to calculate mean.
Activity order: Make any changes to the method necessary from previous prac (e.g. my pupils decided they were going to use larger measuring cylinders). Complete prac and write up.
Complete revision on P4P5P6 for current OCR twenty first century additional science.
Covers all topics.
Can be used for students or as a class PowerPoint.
Specifically tailored to the style of OCR exam questions.

First lesson
Resources: Reduction-Reactions (+ppt)
Practical: Pupils complete a practical looking at the reduction of iron in iron oxide using carbon on a match.
Activities order: Starter looking at the reactivity series and the order of metals. First section looks at those found in their natural state and not in compounds. Then move on to look at those above hydrogen and below carbon using practical.
Second
Resources: Electrolysis (+ppt)
Practical: Electrolysis of copper sulphate solution - simplistic
Activities order: Introduction the meaning of the term 'lysis' and linking it to electrolysis. How ores are processed to get compounds ready for electrolysis. Electrolysis of sodium chloride and aluminium oxide as examples.
Introduction to interpreting and making molecular formula. Used for KS3 or introduction to GCSE.
Differentiated in to bronze silver and gold sheets.
Really useful resource - please review :)
A test split into triple and combined with a mark scheme covering the basic information and questions encountered in the new curriculum. These will be available for different topics and in bundles.
Enjoy and please review :)

A Worksheet containing all the Physics equations that need to be memorised and those that just need to be applied.
Spaces where pupils should fill in units and rearrange to find different terms.
Appropriate for a number of different exam but designed to cover incubation periods on the new approved OCR twenty first century specification from 2016 on wards.
Covers data analysis and justification of incubation periods of a number of different diseases.
Also looks at maximum, minimum and ranges of incubation periods and a small amount on the ethics of quarantine.
Differentiated in to bronze, silver and gold sheets.
Basics looking at the equations for combustion and comparing them.
Practical based on using a Bunsen Burner to heat water, air hole open and closed. Practical details are on the ppt.
Sheet then looking at the evidence and observations of the two types of combustion (Differentiated in to bronze, silver and gold).
Application looking at a car.
Challenge task looking at the impacts of carbon monoxide.
Complete revision on B4B5B6 for current OCR twenty first century additional science.
Covers all topics.
Can be used for students or as a class PowerPoint.
Specifically tailored to the style of OCR exam questions.
This is a unit (4 lessons) for filling the AQA required practical although can be easily used for other specifications. The method used are the recommended practical methods published by AQA. The lessons are as follows:
1) Denisty of regular objects
2) Density of irregular objects
This has been designed as part of a year 9 scheme of work which have been fully undated to cover the new AQA specification, change in assessment objective weightings and mathematical requirements.
Please leave a review of these resources
Covers Hydrocarbons, fractional distillation, cracking, polymerisation, and the two methods of ethanol production and how they link together - often higher level questions.
I have put together a list of exam specific key terms and phrases taken from exam mark schemes.
These were given to a class to learn tested like a spelling test and dramatically increased their mock grades.
This has a full list of the equations with units and symbol equations. The equations are separated into those that need to be learn and those that need to be applied.
Also included is the same equations on quiz cards, the terms on the front of the card and full equation with units on the back. Set with just the terms on the front for pupils to fill in themselves if you wish.
I have done a similar set for Physics AQA on my resources. :)

Activity comparing bacterial growth using normal plasters and those using nano particles. Describing graphs, explaining whether the graph has enough evidence to support a conclusion and experimental design.
Differentiated bronze, silver ad gold.
Skills based double sheet - designed as a homework but could be adapted.
Bronze, silver and gold differentiated to three different levels.
Looks at reading graph in different experiments.
Developing important skills for the new GCSE
Activity looking at inheritance from both parents and it's random nature.
Pupils build marshmallow animals called REBOPS - developed from another resource, this is for a KS4 lessons.
Perfect really for year 9/10 low to mid sets.
Instructions for building the parents are on the ppt
Pupils build offspring of the parents using a dice to chose the genes that are inherited.
Sheet differentiated silver and gold and killer challenge cards.
Activity looking at unicellular organisms, mainly amoeba and euglena. The ways they reproduce, similarities and differences.
Differentiated in to bronze, silver and gold.
