Suitable for all students in particular, SEN, EAL/ESL, Dyslexic and struggling spellers. Each bookmark consists of at least 30 key words related to the topic, some with additional guidance and tips. There is also an SEN/EAL equivalent with the phonetic equivalent next to it. Simply print these out double sided and cut out. Then have students glue them in on the TOP, LEFT HAND PAGE of their exercise book, this means that the bookmark will be accessible throughout the the life of their exercise book - photographs of how to do this are included.

This activity is designed to force deeper thinking at all levels, forcing students of all abilities to make links between concepts they have encountered over the course of the topic. This is a highly engaging activity for all which draws on both literacy and content. Each word has a point value ascribed to it, depending on level of difficulty. Students then construct sentences linking as many of the words as they can in a single sentence. They tally up their word score and then move on to producing another sentence. etc. Instructions on how to use the activity with a set of dice is also included. Always ensure that students have access to glossaries or text books so that they can challenge themselves to find the meaning of new terminology or concepts. This is best carried out in pairs, where students can discuss and share ideas. This has been designed specifically for the new GCSE Physics content and has been used for the first time with Year 9 in 2016. Some of the words/concepts include: Eureka Can, Solid, Sublimate, Vibrate, Liquid, Gas, melt, energy, inter-molecular etc.

Written for the new 2016 specification on the particle model. The activity consists of two worksheets, one for foundation and one for higher. The student is provided with visual prompts and then asked to write down facts relating to SHC. Activity is best done in pairs and as a way to demonstrate learning. This type of activity fosters deep learning at all levels and should be used alongside reference material like text books or glossaries to gain maximum benefit.

Designed for feedback at the end of the acids topic, personalised targets or as personalised homework tasks. From Level 3 to gifted and talented. Each set has a number of activities suitable for that level. I usually print these on standard ASDA or Avery labels (3 x 7 65mm x 40mm) but they work equally well on paper.

95 Questions and answers focusing on the Thermal Transfer section of the P1 exam (more topics will be published later). There are 2 pdf files - one with a 4 x 2 layout and the other with a 5 x 2 layout. Topics include: conduction, convection, radiation evaporation, condensation, kinetic theory Changing the rate of energy transfer animal adaptations and energy transfer the vacuum flask insulating houses and u-values payback time solar panels specific heat capacity

This bundle includes: 95 x flash cards, rotation square activities, word searches, revision cubes, Cornell Note activity, comic, routemap etc. that I’ve put together over the years. There really is something for everyone in here.

Activity Time: 45mins GCSE Power 15 Questions and Answers most of which focus on calculations, converting units and re-arranging equations. Each question is differentiated by difficulty (most difficult have 4 smileys while easiest have only 1 smiley face). The activity focuses on P = E/t and P = I * V - to further differentiate you could supply students with model answers. I usually give different abilities different numbers of Smiley's to collect, so a lower ability student would have 6 while a higher would have many more. There are 3 files in this resource, a colour version, black and white version and the answer key.

Growth Mindset Posters for you to print and display. Encourages resilience and effort.

These activities work best in pairs and I've found that they are very good at building resilience and independence. The students are given the problems and answers, but are asked to show their working out and meta cognitive processes - teaching them how to problem solve and apply their ideas.

Suitable for middle to higher achievers. Over 50 Questions with answers. This resource is made up of a trifold brochure with many energy related questions. Give students the question brochure, tube map and "sites and station" leaflet. As a virtual tourist to London the students aim to visit as many attractions as they can. They choose a station to start at and a site that they wish to visit. For each station along the way they answer the corresponding energy related question. Full instructions given.

A range of growth mindset and motivational displays.

Multiple choice mini assessment consisting of 18 questions. The answers have been designed to cover any misconceptions. Can be used as is, or used in conjunction with the free "quick key" app, which allow instant feedback and data analysis.

Ideal activity for all abilities as feedback tasks, revision or homework. Students are given a category (route) that the teacher feels they need the most work on. Students use the tube map and the station brochure, to guide them through the stations and present them with the relevant questions. Differentiate by giving lower achievers a set of cue cards (included) or allow some revision using the revision cards (included) beforehand. Higher achievers can follow the challenge route. This resource includes: - Tube map - Revision Cards - Cue cards - Brochure of stations with questions - Answers

Objective: Understand the process of diffusion within the cell and the factors that affect the speed of diffusion. The activity draws on ideas of SOLO taxonomy hexagons, Tony Ryan's Thinkers' Keys and other strategies that focus on deeper thinking and conceptual links. The resource is made up of a double sided Trifold leaflet with some activities more challenging than others. I have included each page as a separate file so that it can be previewed more thoroughly for inspection before purchase.

Objective: To understand that metals need to be extracted from ores To understand the properties and uses of metals and alloys Suitable for higher KS3 students or KS4. This is resource consists of 2 activities. The first is a Jeopardy worksheet where students are given the answer and they come up with the question, the second is a learning grid that asks students to find relationships between words. Instructions for link word Students placed in groups of two and given a relevant piece of text. Working as a team, using glossaries, text book, internet etc. students then force a relationship between as many of the words as they can by making coherent sentences with their chosen words.. They can either:- 1. Write an sentence using the two words that clearly explains how they are linked 2. __________________ is linked to _______________________ because _____________________________. 3. ________________ is linked to ________________ an example is ___________________________________. 4. _______________ is similar to _____________ because __________________________________________. 5. ____________________ is different to _________________ because ___________________________________. 6. We can use ________________ to ____________________________ because _____________________________. To differentiate the task the words carry a number score. A high ability student would have a far higher score than a lower ability student. This forces the higher level student to choose words that have a higher value ie more difficult to make connections to. Encourage students to use as many words as they can in their EXPLANATION as they will be added to their scores.

Objectives: To perform calculations relating to KE and GPE To improve math skill through metacognition activity To understand the relation between Kinetic Energy, GPE and Conservation of Energy. Differentiate through the activities, some of which are simpler than others, or through group work or task choice. This magazine-type activity has always been a firm favourite with my groups. Working in groups or as a longer homework project it is designed to get students thinking about energy in real terms and the importance of correctly showing mathematical method.

Objective: Understand the differences and similarities between specialised cells. Understand the adaptations of specialised cells. Understand how to build a content rich paragraph. The fact builder is suitable for higher ability KS3 and KS4 students. Used in conjunction with textbook or other reference material it forces students to clarify their thinking before writing, as well as encouraging their interaction with text. There are 5 fact builder worksheets, all similar to the one displayed, including: - red blood cells, sperm cells, root hair cells, leaf cells and muscle cells I have included the Power Point file and the pdf should you wish to tailor them to your students. Instructions: Students use their text books to find out about the adaptations, design and function of the cell in question. Students choose 5 of the most important keywords and write it in the space provided Finally students answer the question incorporating the keywords they have identified.

This comprises 2 activities. The first resources asks students to construct their own crossword using the questions provided (they need to find the answers to the questions as well). The second is a collection of KS3 Word searches on cells.
