A revision poster on Algebra – adding, subtracting multiplying and dividing summarising the key-points on; • Algebraic terminology to include variable, coefficient, constant, term etc. • BIDMAS rule reviewed. • Evaluating algebraic expressions with examples • Adding and subtracting examples • Multiplication examples (basic, with 1 term, with 2 terms, with single and double brackets etc.) My students stick this revision poster/chart into their exercise book at the start or end of the chapter content delivery. In mathematics I use the revision poster to get students to understand why using this math skill is important in the real world, the definitions of terminology and I give students worked examples (step – by – step). The resource size is perfect for printing off, illuminating, and putting into students’ journals. If I have students struggling with some of the basic content of algebra, I ask them to take this poster out and we revisit the examples.

A safety in the laboratory lesson I use this generally with Year 7 and 8 students (also good for any Year 6 open days in your school). It covers; identifying risks in a laboratory common pieces of equipment how to lit a bunsen burner and safety and roaring flame use

OCR Gateway Science (Grade 9-1) Specification Suitable for Year groups 9 - 11 It summaries the key concepts on all the B2 topics to include B2.1 Suppling the cell , B2.2 The challenge of size. Triple/separate content not included. I usually get my students to add on this criteria Practical detail also** not included**: see my GCSE practical summaries. This revision resource: Students must fill in keywords missing It assess their understanding Forms the backbone of their revision Student have always found these posters helpful

Biology B1 Revision In our department we would consider the points on these knowledge documents as the fundamentals on what students NEED to know for this topic. It does involve a lot of rotate learning from the pupil; but they can be creative in how they revise with this information. Teachers can then follow up with recall and application questions. These documents are a great success with our students. Hope they help your students.

Follows the OCR Gateway Science specification *Suitable for * Year groups 9 - 11 Combined students - triple content not included This resource; useful closer to examination times I print three slides per page in a handout format; it is photocopied as a booklet for the students I will spend a lesson going through key concepts relating to the topic, inform students on past exam questions relating to the topic. They annotate. This lesson is very teacher lead but students love this type of lesson right before the exams.

This is an excellent assessment resource that my department used for internal examination with our Year 13’s - It was their December mock examination. I created all three papers using past examination papers dating back to the 2006 specification. My reasoning for creating these assessments from old material a) my students had completed all the current AQA papers and the majority had completed the specification before this. The 2006 - 2011 spec. questions posed a new challenge for my students even the meticulous students. **Student feedback: ** My meticulous students were so thankful for these questions as it really challenged them especially the Paper 3. My weaker ability students found it very challenging but it served as a great indicator for students needing further intervention support. *The resources: * A Powerpoint with the paper 1, 2 and 3 mark scheme; on slides 2, 20 and 38 you will see the papers question breakdown. I printed these for my students and got they to record their marks per question. At the end of the marking students analysed areas of strength and weakness. Paper 1 - students need to have studied Chapters 1 - 10 to answer these 7 questions - time allowed 55mins Paper 2 - students need to have studied Chapter 11 - 21 to answer these 6 questions - time allowed 55mins Paper 3 - students need to have completed core practicals, completed past exam questions on practicals to complete this paper - time allowed 55 mins
