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.

Skills based double sheet - designed as a homework but could be adapted.
Bronze, silver and gold differentiated to three different levels.
Looks at experimental design and variables in different experiments.
Developing important skills for the new GCSE.
A resource based around the difference in the UK energy demand and supply at different times of day and year, and how it has changed over time.
Differentiation into silver and gold.
Please review if you like these resources.
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 summary that includes each Trilogy required practical. Each practical has pictures of the practical, method and variables. They also include key questions for each practical.
I have used this to summarise content and set test and quizzes for pupils to improve knowledge recall.
It contains all topic (in the same order as kerboodle) and cross referenced with the AQA specification.
Paper two also available.

Paper one and paper two revision questions for Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
Pupils used these as re-cap question and as the basis to build revision cards.
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) Chromotography of M&M dye
2) Chromatography and calculating Rf values
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.

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: The pH Scale (+ppt)
Practical: Test pH of everyday substances
Activities order: Starter looking at the pH scale and then practical, pupils then plot the position of the substances and then questions on strength of different substances.
Second
Resources: Neutralisation -- Titration (+ppt)
Practical: Basic titration like practical using measuring cylinders
Activities order: Introduction the meaning of the term 'neutral'. Re-cap of pH from previous lesson. Practical. Word equations looking at the formation of salts.
Third
Resources: Making-Salts-Prac (+ppt)
Practical: Forming sodium chloride salt and evaporating to form crystals
Activities order: Re-cap word equations. Practical and write up and use of heating equipment specifically looking at the importance of evaporation and mixing as processes involved in the method.

First lesson
Resources: Practical-investigation-writing-frame (+ppt)
Practical: Calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid - details on ppt
Activities order: Starter looking at the mass of a cake, look at recognising balancing equations, complete practical and planning part of the practical write up.
Second lesson
Resources: ppt
Practical: NA
Activities order: Line graph and pathway graded conclusion (the pathways will be different depending on what your school is using)

First lesson
Resources: bicarbonate writing frame (+ppt)
Practical: Pupils use tin foil to cover one test tube containing pond weed and use bicarbonate indicator to show photosynthesis (+respiration HIGHER). Practical procedure notes in PPT (consult health and safety or use approved procedure)
Activities order: Starter looking at the photosynthesis equation and the role of chloroplasts, Practical and write up for first practical.
Second/Third lesson
Resources: Distance writing frame (+ppt)
Practical: Collecting gas using a measuring cylinder and investigating the affect of distance of a lamp.
Activities order: Introduction to aim and prediction. Pupil should be able to complete practical independently give guidance and previous practical. Graph, conclusion and evaluation scaffolding also provided but may need to be scheduled for another lesson.
Two PowerPoints available with results as practical can be slightly temperamental.
This resource contains all lesson within the activate scheme of work for year 7 and 8.
I use this as a tick list and includes all the assessment elements we complete after each topic.
So handy to have in your planner!
Tick list for all lessons included in the kerboodle scheme including required practicals and our assessment elements.

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. There was a mistake with the equation in the given methods which has been confirmed by AQA so this unit is correct but does differ slightly from the published material. The lessons are as follows:
1) Label and compare plant and animal cells
2) Prepare and onion slide and calculate the size of one cell
3 ) Compare prokaryotic and eukaryotes
4) Calculate magnification of specimens

This is a free upload and is a sample of my other units.
