A lesson on Current for KS3 with practical activities included to allow students to determine how the current changes with series and parallel circuits. Rope needed to demonstrate how the current flows through a circuit and to show that the electrons are already present in circuit and don’t come from the battery. Can be used with some calculation questions to reinforce understanding for higher level groups.
Lesson on Health and the effects of Risk Factors such as alcohol, smoking, diet and exercise on Non Communicable diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Includes activities and discussions for students.
These questions can be used in the lessons or as a homework. Links directly to the AQA GCSE Objectives and are graded at Grades 4, 6 and 8. Answers are provided for self or peer assessment.
Excellent way to support students in their lesson notes.
KS3 Electricity Marking Stickers and Feedback Tasks covering the whole topic.
There are two different versions of the marking sticker and activities. These are designed for most students with a second version for a very low ability group.
Marking stickers: I will Red, Amber, Green each descriptor depending on whether the student has show evidence in their work that they have met this learning objective. The bottom part of the sticker is to tick if there are more generalised areas that students need to work such as presentation.
The activities match the learning objectives from the stickers. I normally print these as information booklets with two slides to a page. Students can then flick through to any task numbers that they were Red on in their marking sticker and complete the task as explained in the yellow boxes. This should close the gap for the students in their learning.

This resource includes two question revision pyramids aimed at Low ability and mid/high ability for Year 7 on the topic of electricity.
Answers are included on separate slides for peer or self assessment in lessons.
I normally give the students a set amount of time e.g. 20 minutes for them to complete questions of their choice to reach a total of 100 points. Different level of questions are worth different amounts of points. This means students can choose the low level questions and have more to complete, or can choose the more challenging questions and complete less questions.
It is a great revision tool for Year 7s and provides a challenge as students can become competitive to see who can get the most points. It is an engaging activity.
Differentiated questions for each lesson in the P4 Electrical Circuits topic for AQA GCSE Physics and answers to go with them. These structure strips are designed to be printed off and glued into students books down the margin and then either used throughout the lesson, or as a task after covering theory, the students work their way through the questions. Not all students will be expected to complete the entire structure strip as it depends on target grades. The questions link directly to the learning objectives and ensure the content is covered and allows students to stretch themselves. They could also be given as homework for consolidation or used for targeted revision. Students find these a great way to ensure they have met their objectives and it makes marking books easier.
The questions are split into three main groups:
Bronze (Red) questions are targeted at Grade 4
Silver (Amber) questions are targeted at Grade 6
Gold (Green) questions are targeted at Grade 8
Star questions are challenge questions.
Structure strips are included for the following lessons;
Electrical charges and fields
Current and Charge
PD and Resistance
Component Characteristics
Series circuits
Parallel circuits
Answers are included as a powerpoint presentation for all structure strip questions to allow self or peer assessment by students.

I created this worksheet as a support sheet for students struggling with drawing the structure of ions in preparation for drawing ionic bonds. This worksheet is best printed off on A3 and works to walk students through the steps involved in determining the electronic configuration of elements first as atoms and then when they form ions.
The layout is in a style that allows students to easily follow the process. Have used a similiar format in the past on calculation style questions in physics and students loved it!
