Suitable for: Low Ability GCSE or KS3 This is an activity designed to reinforce knowledge on the basics of electrical circuits. The keywords have the phonetics in brackets for those who struggle with literacy. There are 12 key words in total, all with definitions in student-speak. This is suitable as a starter, revision, or as a main activity where students are then required to link some of the key words together in a sentence. Differentiate this resource by providing students with a textbook, glossary etc. Challenge students by asking them to choose 5 of the most important keywords and put them in a triangle rank of importance (3 at the bottom), (2 in the middle), (the most important word at the very top).

PLEASE VISIT MY MY SHOP FOR LOTS OF FREE AND SIMILARLY PRICED RESOURCES https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/heelis A Resource for my mixed ability groups with a focus on challenge and independence. Students select the questions they would like to answer - each has a point value, higher points are more difficult questions. Answers attached

This resource is a ready to go activity and should take approximately 40 minutes. It focuses on the advantages and disadvantages of using overhead and underground cables. Students complete a card sort and then produce a piece of extended writing. Mark scheme and instructions attached. Suitable for both higher and foundation.

Fully differentiated lesson on Atoms and Isotopes. Includes lesson plan, keywords, workbook and starter sheet. This lesson was judged Good with Outstanding features in a 2013 lesson observation and I've used it ever since. The A grade activity looks at the link between alchemy and isotopes and challenges students to apply their knowledge in an interesting and unusual scenario.

Suitable for higher tier GCSE Students Students read through the text on alpha, beta and gamma radiation and correct any mistakes. This is a good deep-learning activity forcing them to think and create their own cognitive links. I often use this in conjunction with a piece of text suitable for the level of the group, dictionaries and text books. It generates a lot of discussion so I would suggest pairing by similar ability. Answers are provided.

Activity time:30 -40 minutes In this kinasthetic activity students have to match the problems with the calculations and questions with answers. The final product is a large square. I usually get students to pair up in groups of similar ability and give them text books or their exercise books to help them. Excellent revision activity, but not suitable for very low ability students.

Suitable for all GCSE groups and higher KS3 Activity is designed to foster challenge in a fun and engaging way. The checkerboard is made up of a number of activities, each with a point value depending on difficulty. Students then choose the tasks they would like to do, however, teachers can control the level of challenge by assigning "total score targets" depending on ability. The activities force independent enquiry so it is always handy to have textbooks and dictionaries to hand if possible. Every time I have used this activity I am surprised by the enthusiasm and quality of work produced.

These 3 resources each form a large circular shape, ideal for group work. There is also space for students to show their calculations, corrections etc. This is a very useful for peer to peer revision/learning in a low stress environment. The answers are provided. This was made using Formulator Tarsia and the original files have been included if you need to amend.

Three activities with answers. Students work in pairs to match the questions with the answers and then show their calculations. This is a good resource for peer to peer learning and revision. Made with formulator tarsia

Suitable for KS3 and SEN GCSE students. Learning Targets - to name some forces, draw suitable forces arrows, describe types of forces There are three parts to the resource, - a comic strip explaining what forces are and how to draw force arrows - a newspaper template for students to complete, with instructions - a comic strip type activity to demonstrate that they are able to draw force arrows, name forces and describe them. This type of resource presents information in a more student-friendly manner than textbooks, so very suitable for the reluctant reader.

This resource includes 3 activities. Activity 1 Students analyse a distance time graph section by section. Activity 2 Students are asked to draw and analyse distance time graphs related to Polar Bear journeys. Activity 3 Jeopardy! Students write questions related to D-T graphs for given answers. Suitable for KS3 and KS4

Suitable to challenge higher ability candidates. Based on the game Jeopardy, students are given a list of answers to which they have to formulate questions relating to ultrasound. This activity stimulates deep learning, synthesis and connecting concepts.

Suitable for GCSE Students. The activity wheel has 8 activities linked to X-rays, their uses, dangers and properties. The wheel starts off with easier activities and become increasingly more difficult, suitable for E-grade to A*. Both a colour and black and white version are included. How to Use: 1) Teacher can allocate specific tasks to students 2) Teacher can allocate all the tasks to a mixed ability group and have them produce a joint presentation/poster 3) Students choose their own activities.

Designed to support students with evaluating, concluding and risk assessments. They can be used as: - bookmarks, - support sheets, - laminated self-help cards - marking aids

An engaging presentation ideal for flipped learning purposes or to use in class before a practical. The presentation focuses on these objectives: - What happens to GPE stores when an object is lifted - Why objects are easier to lift on the moon - Calculating GPE store changes - what causes a lifted object to have increase in GPE stores - how work done can be related to GPE

This magazine-type activity has always been a firm favourite with my groups. Put students in groups and have them work through the metacognition, calculations and understanding activities, or this can be set as a long-term homework. The key is to allow them to "get on with it" and source help from peers, text etc. At the end of the activity I usually do a peer assessment and then a directed feedback task.

Objectives: Understand types of energy and energy stores Understand how energy can be transferred between stores. Understand energy transfer diagrams This is a fully differentiated activity where students can choose their own level of challenge, allowing for low-threat, high-challenge. This activity has been run successfully as both an independent homework activity, or paired class work activity.

This resource is made up of "luggage tag" reminders for students on how to write conclusions, evaluations and risk assessments. A separate file is included for teachers to use as marking hacks during feedback. Great time saver. Can also be used to support those struggling with literacy.

A simple and engaging activity to encourage literacy, identification of sequences, identifying rules and completing simple patterns.

This resource includes 3 activities. Activity 1 Students analyse a distance time graph section by section. Activity 2 Students are asked to draw and analyse distance time graphs related to Polar Bear journeys. Activity 3 Jeopardy! Students write questions related to D-T graphs for given answers Highly engaging, in particular for reluctant readers!
