This contains 41 sheets of retrieval practice exercises for the GCSE AQA Combined science syllabus. I have tried to put in at least one question form each section but some may have been missed. Each sheet has 5 questions - biology, chemistry, physics, skills and required practical. There are 41 sheets in total. At the side there is a grid to log the date and tick off what they have revised. This is using retrieval techniques to embed learning and make recall in exams easier. The key here is to get the pupils to retrieve the information regularly as per the grid and using their brain not a book. I have pulled questions from a variety of sources and written a lot myself. If you find any errors I’m sorry. They are new so not been checked over in use yet.

This is a revision mat on pretty much the whole synergy topic. There are answers sheets too. I have only just made these this week for a paper 1 mock so please proof read them and let me know if there is anything that needs changing. I will update them if I find any issues.

First lesson of 12 that I have produced for the GCSE fundamentals of Biology. I can upload others if wanted. Please review and leave suggestions for improvements. Thanks.

This is a really striking display. I find KS3 and KS4 kids never link the productions of digestion to the enzymes and to the food tests. It shows the food sources, the polymers they contain, the monomers they are broken into, what they are used for in the body, which enzyme breaks it down and where the enzymes are produced, the reagents used and what a positive and negaive test looks like. The clear to read display is great for retrieval exercises when teaching this topic. Key words like monomers, polymers and enzymes are represented with pictures to make recall easier. I have attached a photo of my display that I did when I first made it. Took me hours to cut up so I’ve made this a no cut display now. It needs print each of the 21 sheets on A4 and get it laminated. The first slide is the headings…I’m afraid these will need a whizz with the guillotine but then it’s ready to put up in minutes. It really looks great up.

A Synergy topic on a page for revision. Use throughout the topic to draw that section in their book when the work has just been covered. Then they can use retrieval to put their own together. Verbal conversations to expand or apply using exam questions.

I use this at the start of each topic. I get them to write the lesson titles in at the start as it helps them to see the big picture of the topic. Each lesson they add a few key words from the lesson. I refer back to this grid if they can’t do the “do now” the following lesson as they need to go back to the revise section on the grid.
