I have put together ‘mastery booklets’ that can be used for independent study for pupils to use after a section of the course has been covered. They are designed (with past paper questions and the answers) for the students to complete themselves. This is to help them gain a deeper knowledge without impacting on teacher workload. All the teacher needs to do is record when the students have completed and annotated the booklet. I have split the 7 sections into the topics for the paper 1 and the paper 2. These could be used for cover work and revision before the exams. Hope they’re useful. Harret

I have put together a complete system of resources that will allow staff to easily record and monitor the required practical aspect of the new GCSE science that is replacing the old ISA coursework. The resources include Whole Class Practical Tracker, Pupil Cover Sheets for Each of the Practicals and an 'On-The-Day' Practical sheets (again one for each practical, for the teacher to use in class during the practical to record the Apparatus and Technique (AT) skills that each pupil has to be competent with. All of the resources compliment each other, use the key coding for assessment to reduce workload and make things easy. This is just the instructions with some screen shots to see what and how it works. I have mirrored the A'Level AQA Practical Assessment for the AQA GCSE, it just seemed logical so that the systems are similar. The resources outline will be bundled together and can be purchased from my store page. Enjoy.

Since the declaration that GCSE Science pupils wont be able to use equations sheets in future exams, I have been thinking of a system that will help them learn the equations and help staff in facilitating that learning. I have devised this. It is supposed to be used as a starter / plenary for pupils to go over and over and try to implant the equations over time. I will use it in every lesson, parrot fashion for success! This is not board specific as they all will need to learn them, and can be used for the current legacy GCSE students too as a revision resource. This demo only has the questions for 'Resistance' questions, but you will get a good idea of what the paid product will be like. The GCSE PHYSICS Electricity Equations full can be found in my store. It has questions on Units Questions, Resistance (R=V/I), Power (P=E/t), More Power (P=IV), Even More Power (P=I^2 R), and Electrical Energy (E=VQ). There is another demo and full powerpoint on Energy Equations on my page. I have used the template for my ABCD cards for this endeavour, but you don't need those to utilise these PowerPoints. Enjoy.

This is a free demo of the 29 quick quizzes I have compiled for the AS AQA new Biology course. Each quiz has 10 questions of varying difficulty and then the answers. The paid version of the PowerPoint contains 29 quizzes spanning the whole AS course with questions and answers and an integrated results sheet to record the results from your class and a handy macro will rank them in order depending on their average through the quizzes. From the menu screen you can skip to any quiz and return back to the menu. Great for starters, plenaries and revision throughout the year. This demo will give you an idea of the quality of what you will get.

It has questions on SI units, Gravitational Potential Energy, Kinetic Energy, Efficiency, Power and Specific Heat Capacity. These take some time to make, but I will group the other equations together as I have for the energy equations. I have used the template for my ABCD cards for this endeavour, but you don't need those to utilise these PowerPoints. Be patient, I'm going as fast as I can. Enjoy.

I have taken the free AQA Assessed Practical tracker and have improved it. I have added the AT (Assessed Techniques) definitions and added which AT's are assessed for each practical . These marks for the AT's are collated in an overview sheet that shows how each student has performed in each assessed practical but also an overview of how they are doing for each AT. I've tested it with my class and it seems bug free...

This demo only has the questions for 'Acceleration' questions, but you will get a good idea of what the paid product will be like. The GCSE PHYSICS Speed Equations full can be found in my store. It has questions on SI Units Questions, Speed/Distance/Time (v=d/t), Acceleration (a=v/t), Force?mass?Acceleration (F=ma), Kinetic Energy (KE = 1/2 m v ^2), Wavelength/Frequency (v=ƒ λ) and Momentum (p=mv) HIGHER TIER Only. There are another demos and full powerpoint on Energy Equations and Electricity Equations on my page.

This spreadsheet can be used to collate the ISA grades for Core, Additional, Biology, Chemistry and Physics ISA's. The sheet will calculate the grade achieved from the 2015 AQA grade boundaries. It will also do a count to show how many pupils have achieved A* - G in each piece. There is enough space for 250 pupils in the core and additional and 150 for the triple science. The grade the pupil gets will RAG change colour with regard to what their target is. Enjoy and I hope it helps. If you like have a look at some of the other spreadsheet resources I have in my shop.

I have created an assessment analysis tool that can be used for any test up to 20 questions in length. The Excel sheet is primarily designed for science but could be redesigned for other subjects. A sheet is used to enter the year, title, question type, question marks and question description. All of these will be used to generate a report. The report will have individual information about a students progress in the test. The data generated will be - Total, %, Residual, Level (9-1), Levels of Progress and Progress label. Depending on how well students did for individual questions, the report will highlight which areas (where a student achieved 50% or less of the marks available) students need work on to get them to standard. The test is broken down into the individual science aspects so that staff, pupils and parents can be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of individuals so that areas can be addressed where the standard is below what is expected. I have attached the instructions for the sheet that shows how the sheet works and examples of the generated Mail Merge report. This sheet will not only inform staff, pupils and parents but save time for the staff and be an invaluable tool in identifying areas to help pupils reach their targets.

This is screen shots to show what my AQA Additional Paper Analysis Tool looks like when populated. the tool will collate the 'mock' results and using the actual grade boundaries will give a grade for a) the whole paper, b) individual grades for the Biology, Chemistry and Physics aspects and c) will show the levels of progress the student has made. This has been invaluable as a monitoring and intervention tool to target individuals and classes that are falling behind. The actual sheet can be purchased from my page.

This easy chart will allow you to assess the risks with your practical and use the advice on the chart to plan accordingly. Useful for all staff who teach science and who need to show how they have assessed the risk.

Bespoke resource that was originally written as a science project based curriculum for year 7. It could be used in primary for a project based activity that should take at least 10 hours to complete. It covers ecology, food chains, fossils, predator prey relationships. classification and adaptations of animals for survival. Lesson plans, PowerPoints, & worksheets are all included. There are some simple practicals (like making a fossil included). My pupils loved this project.

Here are 10 logic puzzles that can be used in science or maths. They can be used as starters,plenaries or homework. The idea was for them to be used to get the students to think logically and work through to see the process in a fun way. The snooker ball may need to be explained to some students as they might not know the values of the coloured balls.

18 science glossaries for different parts of the curriculum. They were originally designed for KS3 but can be used earlier or later depending on ability. These can be used for reference or spelling homework or starts to topics. Chemistry - Acids & Alkalis, Atoms & Elements, Compounds & Mixtures, Reactions of Metals and Simple Chemical Reactions. Biology - Cells, Environment & Feeding Relationships, Food & Digestion, Plants & Photosynthesis, Reproduction, Sound and Hearing & Variation Physics - Electric Circuits, Energy Resources, Gravity & Space, Space & Beyond, Particle Theory and Speeding Up

These are the student cover sheets that describe which AT (assessment techniques) that will be assessed for each practical. The grading criteria is the one that is used in the official AQA Biology tracker and my own improved tracker that is based on the AQA tracker (you can download it free from my page). The sheets are generic and in Word format so that you can amend or add your school crest on if needs be.

These are traffic light cards designed by myself as ever other ones I could find were not good enough. These were originally for science but can be used for any subject. I have attached the template PowerPoint which can be used with these. I have a set of 30 made and laminated that are a superb resource for starters, plenaries and in class assessment to show progress in the lesson. I have set it up fot 10 questions, but you can add more easily. The two sheets are supposed to be printed back to back so that the colours match on both sides.

This bundle consists of 5 reproduction in human and plants worksheets... 1. Male & Female Sexual Organs Label 2. Fertilisation & Implantation 3. Development & Birth 4. Menstrual Cycle 5. Reproduction in Plants The sheets suitable for KS3 and KS4 (maybe KS2 high flyers. The sheets are colourful and can be used as a stand alone resource or to be cut up and stuck into books to avoid wasting time drawing unnecessary diagrams.

This is lesson 3 of a set of 7 lessons that cover 4.6.2 of the new GCSE AQA Biology curriculum. It follows the Oxford book chapter 14 in its chronology. Each lesson has an interactive PowerPoint, a pupil worksheet(s) linked to the work in the PowerPoint and a linked past paper question with mark scheme (the Publisher original of the worksheet is also added so you differentiate accordingly should you wish). The PowerPoint has a starter that leads on from the previous lessons learning. The student worksheet incorporates the learning in the lesson. The worksheets can be used to show progress and/or be cut up and stuck in books to avoid unnecessary diagram drawing etc. and use the time for deeper understanding. The lessons can be bought individually or as a bundle for the lot.
