This resource is a lesson focused on improving students exam technique when answering questions on Physics required practicals. For each required practical there is an explanation of how to carry it out, a long answer question looking at getting students to write methods, a diagram / model to help students write a method and an answer to each question. This resource includes:
1: A power point to lead students through the lesson
2: 4 slides on how to generally improve Science exam technique
3: A slide on key vocabulary to do with practicals
4: A questions looking at the resistance required practical
5: A questions looking at the density required practical
6: A questions looking at the stretching a spring required practical
7: A questions looking at the IR required practical
8: A questions looking at the SHC required practical
9: A set of questions for students to work through during the lesson
10: A version of the power point for students to use
This lesson is designed to take 1 hour. After taking to students generally about exam technique the lesson has been designed to go through content, get students to complete exam style questions then go through the answers with students which are integrated into the power point.
This resource can be used with individual classes or if you have a hall free to use, for intervention sessions with large groups of students. The structure of the lesson has been designed to enable students to work at a fast pace and reflect on their own progress throughout as well as giving the teacher the opportunity to spot any gaps in students knowledge
