This is for 20 APP resources that cover areas about investigations, plotting graphs, analysing data and risk assessing. They cover Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9. They are all practical based activities (either experiment or using data) and they each take a whole lesson. Print them out on A3 yellow paper so you can easily locate them in student's books. Each APP task is write in boxes on one side. Other side is success criteria, teacher and student somment boxes. Very easy to mark, just highlight the criteria students attained.

Our department made them a priority.

I made this lesson after teaching microscopy, fingerprint analysis, chromatography and density to Year 7. I linked it with Jack the Ripper and the students had to justify who the culprit was. Great fun and helped me to get an Outstanding lesson observation. Let me know what you think!
