Match sure your KS3 Science students 'master' all the key ideas they need before they start on their GCSE journey. It will support conversations with students to what they have to do to improve/next steps as well as your report writing and parents evenings. This PLC is already formatted with the statements/Can do/key idea statements all you have to do is add numbers: 1) can not do yet (red) 2) nearly there (orange) 3) mastered (green) 4) Away/absent for the lessons covering the key idea so need to catch up (grey) This resources covers all Biology, Chemistry and Physics topics, as well as working scientifically and other key skills (EG: graph drawing, calculations and maths skills, homework quality). You can also edit/add sections to suit your own teaching needs.

A cut and stick 'Earth' that when put together adds a bit of class to a boring drawing in the exercise book. It is quick and easy to put together and can be printed on A5 (so 2 pages to one piece of A4). When it is complete the Earth folds over as do the layers in the these amazing interactive notebook foldable This resource contains the Earth model to cut out, extra questions, instructions to how to complete the model and a brief research lesson plan. Follow me on twitter @TJohns85 and thanks for looking. Have you seen my foldable Volcano with 3 interactive layers? https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/create-a-foldable-cross-section-of-a-volcano-fully-interactive-with-3-layers-worksheet-and-answers-11428601 SEE MY OTHER RESOURCES PREMIUM + FREE IN MY TES SHOP https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/TRJ

AQA Synergy combined science GCSE ,(8465) required practical and skills PLC: The Synergy content broken down into 'can do' statements. Teachers can RAG rate student progress to highlight strengths and weaknesses on this already formatted spreadsheet. All you have to do is put a number in and it will change colour automatically, saving you time and effort. Included is 3x required practical booklet for the biology, physics and chemistry required practical and a general scientific skills PLC tracker. PLC trackers are included for the synergy required practicals, building blocks, transport over large distances, interactions with the environment, explaining change, building blocks for understanding, interactions, movement, guiding spaceship Earth and key skill areas, Each section has coloured coded outcomes to differentiate biology, chemistry and physics. This resource should help you track student progress until they master each element of the Biology trilogy specification. The tracker will support written reports, inform students of the next steps and could even be used at parents evenings to inform parents of progress.

Questions for all of the required practicals that can come up in paper 2 AQA (including triple content such as ions) answers are on the bottom

A loop game that covers all of C2 AQA can also be used for a cut and stick exercise. Apologies for a few of the errors - see the comments for he corrections. i will get round to updating it soon. See my other foldables and shop here and me follow on twitter - @TJohns85

A booklet which contains all the practical requirements for Biology, Chemistry and Physics (so can also be used for Trilogy) . In goes through the ATs and includes space for direct feedback to students. SEE MY OTHER RESOURCES PREMIUM + FREE IN MY TES SHOP https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/TRJ

Students cut out the sheets and take in sticking the 'window' pane down so that the reactions, reactants and product strips can slide up and down with their exercise books. Activity can be used to self assess knowledge, peer assess each other and then write the word equations down on the accompanying worksheet table. For extension work - encourage learners to extend their learning by writing word equations.

20 ideas that range from investigations to one off lessons to making Christmas as scientific as possible. Ideas include how to brighten up your room/lab with science themed decorations, investigate factors that effect poor old Father Christmas from doing his job. Most ideas are linked to Chemistry and Physics but would be appropriate for any teacher of any specialism to use throughout the keystages.

Follow Harre Pota as he undertakes various experiments in which the reactivity of metals is investigated. Includes practical details. Instructions are all on the powerpoint and there is a table sheet for students to fill in their answers for differentiation.

Follow Harre Pota as he undertakes various chemical reactions as a series of practical investigations. Instructions are all on the powerpoint and there is a table sheet for students to fill in their answers. Practicals can be set out at stations around the room and given a time limit on each one to prevent overcrowding.

The resource contains 10 teacher led demonstrations some of which students can also do, all focussing on the gas pressure laws (Gay-Lussacs, Boyles and Charles) and their relationships. The powerpoint also includes data students could plot to further understand the relationships. I have also included the foldable that students can use to further discover the relationships between temperature, volume and pressure. This can be used in conjunction with the powerpoint lesson ideas. I hope you find it useful especially if you a non specialist or you find yourself teaching this new area of the Physics curriculum.
