Great plenary, starter or revision activity.
A student is given a card and has to describe the word without using any of the three words given or the actual word.
Students can then make their own versions too as great revision too.
Articulate game. Can be used as a starter, plenary or challenge/quiz game.
The student selects a card about the topic studied and has to describe the words using words, picture/diagrams or actions. More points are awarded for not using words or diagrams!!
Great for competition! A fun an interesting game that really engages the students!
Remember to have some rewards for the best action and winner!
A set of three planning cards that support students through the necessary steps to complete a successful investigation.
Steps include:
- Forming a hypothesis
- Research
- Method
- Variables - Independent, dependent and controls.
- Risk Assessment
- Conclusion
- Graphs
These can be printed on A1 sheets to make as a classroom display. They can also be printed as A3, laminated and then students can use post it notes to complete.
This is designed to familiarise students with the how science works terminology and format for laying out a clear practical.
3 questions per card, with answers. These can be used for a quiz for the whole class or several sets printed for students in small groups.
Topics include: limestone, atoms, periodic table, alkanes, alkenes, cracking, auxins, hormones, nerves, reflex, energy, energy resources, waves and much more.
This booklet supports a series of lesson and is designed for Entry Level/SEND students to allow them to access the key elements of science. If used in a mixed ability class, these booklets allow students to keep pace with the rest of the class whilst personalising the challenge and support they require.
The booklet is part of a series of booklets with a variety of tasks including matching keywords and definition, scaffolding, extended answers, research and a lot of practical work with matching results tables/graphs.
Some of the diagrams have had to be removed for copyright.
A great task that can be used as an assessment tool for a starter, mini-plenary or revision task.
This works best when students have pre-made cards to select answer, voting kits or white boards. Students can also complete as a quiz in the back of their books.
Covers: ionic, covalent, ions, metals,
A very easy to use multiple choice quiz where students can show their answers on whiteboards, by holding up pre-made cards with A-D on them or write answers in their books.
This covers the C1 AQA Science-A unit. Other quizzes for the other topics are available on the TES too.

Core Chemistry (AQA C1 Foundation) Prediction Examination Paper for 2016
Based upon previous examinations in core science this paper has been produced as a prediction of the main topics that are likely to appear.
Included is a 50 mark, 1 hour assessment and mark scheme.
This is ideal to be completed as an extra assessment, revision paper or homework task.
This paper consists of new questions that have been designed around previous examinations.
The assessment is produced after mapping questions from previous years.
This includes a mark scheme as a separate document.
Great for revision and discussion.
Prediction paper for additional chemistry based on previous examinations.
Contains new questions and mark scheme.
Great as a revision tool, homework task or in class assessment.

The loop cards can be used as tool for assessment of prior learning, progress and revision. Students need to match the question on one card with the answer on another card, like dominoes.
The answer sheet is given at the end of the document.
This is good to do a pace and challenge activity.

A set of multiple choice questions that can be sued to assess students either as a starter, plenary or revision task.
Works best with voting kits, pre-made flash cards or whiteboards. Also students can record answers in back of books.
Covers: atomic structure, electrons, protons, neutrons, orbits, nucleus, mass number,
Covers the main topic areas and keywords from the AQA specification.
This can be used as a whole class activity or these can be printed as double-sided cards for students to use in small groups. The aim of the task is to select the question that the least people got right when asked the same question. Who therefore can get the lowest score is the winner. There are a few pointless answers in there too.
Great for challenge and to really extend the most able while also supports other students with reinforcing keywords.
AQA Chemistry Further Additional (C3) Revision Flash Cards provide a great resource to support students with learning the key ideas. They can print these off or use on a phone. They have a question and then the answer on the next slide. Great for final revision.
Topics covered include: periodic table, group 1 and group 7, reactivity, balancing equations, transition metals, hard and soft water, ion-exchange, water cartridges, limestone, moles, exothermic, endothermic, energy from fuels, bond energies, energy graphs, activation energy, production of ammonia, production of hydrogen
