Match key words from AQA Living World module (ecosystems, tropical rainforests, hot deserts, cold environments). 2 differentiated versions for each topic. Aimed at KS4 students but 10-word version could be used with KS3. Answers provided.
Suggestion: print and laminate several copies to re-use in class for revision or summarising topics
2 versions of the same worksheet (one for higher ability) on the formation of meanders and oxbow lakes. ANSWER SHEETS INCLUDED.
Worksheet includes 3 tasks
Describing formation using diagrams as prompts
Explaining change in channel shape
Identifying true and false statements
A worksheet that asks students to explain how a colony of penguins can be used to represent solids liquids and gas in an extended writing paragraph. It then asks the students to consider the disadvantages of the model, before coming up with their own idea.
Comes with answers to the first two questions. The third question there will be many different answers to.
A lesson about an hour long. It covers the important definitions in Edexcel Astronomy 1.1 to 1.5,
It recaps the seasons from KS3 and discusses the key definitions
Onedefinition from the spec is left off which is the Prime Meridian. That is covered in a seperate lesson.
It comes with two differentiated worksheets which can be purchased separately:

This worksheet has students plot the route of three different objects. They must follow the instructions carefully. They then measure the scale diagrams to see final displacement.
Best for higher ability GCSE students and A level students.
update 2019: typo
A great extension sheet for both the AQA Forces topic and Space topics more generally.
Ask students to quantitatively and qualitatively consider the effects of gravity on some of the more lesser known objects in our Solar System.
Students are given a short description of two journeys. They are also given data in table form They then plot this graph onto distance time graphs.
They then answer some simple questions about the graphs. Good for low/mid ability.
This package talks the students through a model of solids liquids and gases. The states of matter are modeled as a house party. From sitting down for dinner (solid), to dancing (liquid), to running about the house (gas). The loudness of the music represents the energy.
The students are then asked to come up with their own model. Comes with a power point slide and model answers
Fun extension lesson. Students design a space ship. Suitable for all ages. I have had A level students designing artificial wombs in centrafuges to ks3 designing huge A2 sized space ships. Includes a power point and lesson plan
Introduction to push+pull factors in LICs for KS3. Clear tasks with handout and answers provided. Useful to have mini whiteboards available.
Objectives:
State push/pull factors
Explain why these factors cause people in LICs to move to cities
Introduces concept of transportation and deposition in rivers using geographical vocab and engaging images. Planned for KS3 or lower ability KS4. Handouts are included if you decide to use them for lower ability students. 2 sugggested plenaries for you to choose from. The lesson is all about learning the vocab so have mini whiteboards at the ready. Repetition is important - you might have time to add an extra activity where the students write their own quiz based on the vocab they’ve learned or do this as a starter in the next lesson.
Objectives:
Define the terms transportation and deposition
Describe the 4 processes of transportation
Explain why deposition occurs
This revision worksheet covers beaches (constructive/destructive) and formation of sand dunes, spits and bars from the AQA geography specification Coastal Landscapes - landmarks from deposition.
2 versions are included for higher and lower ability. Alternatively, to improve recall students could be given the easier version to complete first and then a week later/next lesson could attempt the harder version.
Answers included.
A level Particle Physics Revision Mat Topic 10 Edexcel
Covers all specifications points in the Physics Edexcel A level 2015 for the Space topic
Includes markscheme/answer guidance
This resource is on an A3 piece of paper.
This 13-question quiz tests knowledge and understanding for the whole of AQA Coastal Landscapes Unit. Questions cover the following:
weathering + erosion
sand dunes
bays
longshore drift
spits + bars
wave-cut platforms
constructive + destructive waves
caves, arches, stacks, stumps
hard+soft sea defences
Instructions inside the powerpoint:
You will be given 12 questions (one at a time) on pieces of paper that are shaped very differently.
You cannot receive the next question until your group has correctly answered the one you’ve just been given.
As you start answering more questions, you should be able to build up the jigsaw pieces that fit together in the shape of a A4 piece of paper.
When the jigsaw is complete, flip it over (you may need Sellotape for this bit) and complete the challenge task on the back
