Everything you need for a lesson on insulation that incorporates work on calculating means and drawing conclusions. Students carry out an investigation on insulation material using different materials around beakers of hot water.
For those struggling with assignment 6.3 here is a worksheet on mirrors to help them achieve the merit. I have done a similar one for lenses http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/Concave-and-amp-Convex-Lenses-BTEC-6-3-low-ability-6427448/
Who is it for?
This is an assessment based upon the new national curriculum on acids and alkalis suitable for KS3 but could also be used at KS4 for a pre-topic assessment.
What is included?
This resource is a carefully designed, 30 question multiple choice quiz, that assesses depth of knowledge.
There are two ways to use the resource.
Firstly, it can be manually marked within a couple of minutes, by students.
Secondly, it can be marked using the free Quick Key App for android and IOS. Data is collected within seconds using the teacher's mobile phone or tablet, and results visible immediately as well as consolidated in an Excel Spreadsheet. The data in this form is exceptionally useful, teachers are able to assess progress in a matter of minutes, and address misconceptions immediately. I've been using this app for a very long time and can't recommend it highly enough.
Feedback tasks can be generated in either little report forms or as a whole class spread sheet that can be RAG rated by outcome.
See the video tutorial here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0XcUHc09Qc

Feedback Tasks related to this assessment will be available by 14 November and can be found at my shop. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/heelis

YOU WILL NEED ACCESS TO OXBOX CHEMISTRY BOOKS.
Jigsaw puzzle of a simple plant cell. Good to use as a starter or as a re-enforcing activity for SEN students. The two folders contain (1) the jigsaw (2) the completed diagram
For use with Thermal Transfer. A set of labels to be printed off with student targets. I use these as a marking aid for target setting at the end of each topic. Students then use the following lesson to do the individual target tasks that have been set. Ofsted sorted!

Ready to go lesson, everything included even the homework labels. Lesson is very student driven and is based on Learning Logs to provide evidence of progress.
Students use the literature to make notes and then rewrite it using the connectives. I have found this an extremely effective way of teaching them to extract relevant information from text and rewriting it in their own words.
This is a checklist adapted from the new AQA physics spec. I use it as a marking aid at the end of the topic and tick off the outcomes achieved. They are then given reflection (D.I.R.T.) time and assessed again. My students are finding these exceptionally useful.
