This is a lab report frame with colour coordination of variables and goes through the full process. If a pupil follows all the steps they can achieve a level 5 in AF 3,4, and 5. Good for lower ability, really has helped my students a lot.

I lead through a heart dissection with pupils dissecting hearts in pairs. They have to take measurements and compare left/right sides and arteries/veins filling in this worksheet. This leads them to write conclusions about the differences between left/right sides and arteries and veins.

In this ICT lab based lesson pupils search for information about metals and non-metals of their choice. Website links are provided. They then use the information to produce a summary table about the differences.

This is a worksheet to be completed by pupils when they are searching the internet during the 8.2 topic. They have to search using different search engines and complete information for any relevant website they click on (includes bias, reliability, fact or opinion). This sheet should show progression as they improve during the unit.

This is a colouring and labelling activity where pupils have to label a life line which is to scale adding key vocabulary (childhood, adolescence, fertilisation etc.). It is differentiated into three different levels.

This is a spreadsheet where pupils calculate their water use in one day and then compare it to other countries. They count the number of times they shower, wash their hands etc and put the info in the table. A pie chart is drawn and there are further questions about usage in other countries.

This is a quiz with questions that can be used to check pupils understanding of the Elements and Periodic Table topic. They can be used one at a time as Hinge Point Questions during the lesson or at the end of topic to diagnose as a class areas that should be revised in more depth. Each question is designed to probe a specific common misunderstanding/misconception.

Here is the link to the upd8 website with the pupil activity. Pupils complete the activity in groups where they decide who they would like to give face transplants to. I assess my pupils in AF1 for this, they complete the word documents attached, there are 2 levels.

I tell my puils to research a particular dog breed. I give the poster frame for those who need it. They then answer questions for AF2 on the worksheet which has a level ladder.

This is a homework booklet to be used in the unit 8E. It focusses mainly on APP skills as well as some recall questions. It does not include marks as I only give comments.

Pupils take coloured pieces of paper of each of the nutrients. they pass to stations for each part of the digestive system with instructions. They cut the fats, proteins, and carbohydrates with scissors labeled with names of enzyme. In the small intestine they push the pieces through holes in a box labelled blood. In the end they deposit the fibre in a toilet (i draw it on the desk). The second document is an evaluation of the model, i use it in KS3 to assess for AF1.

These are two spreadsheets I have made for tracking in KS3. One is by unit which allows you to put in NC grades e.g. 4+,4-,3 for various pieces of work in a unit aswell as effort grades (in my school this is 1 to 5). The other one is by criteria where you only put in NC grades for pieces of work for up to 6 criteria. At the end it gives averages for each criteria, the 6th one has a 50% weighting. With either spreadsheet just hide any columns that you don´t need. The golden rules sheet is something I made for the staff who had lass experience with Excel.

This is a quiz with questions that can be used to check pupils understanding of the Heat Transfer topic. It covers heat vs temperature, conduction, convection, radiation and an intro to the EMS. They can be used one at a time as Hinge Point Questions during the lesson or at the end of topic to diagnose as a class areas that should be revised in more depth. Each question is designed to probe a specific common misunderstanding/misconception.

This worksheet gets pupils to describe the differences between inhaled and exhaled air. They have to draw a graph of the data and draw the particles too as a challenge.

I ask my pupils to make a cell model for homework. In class they complete this sheet to evaluate the model. It has a level ladder and questions.

This is a quiz with questions that can be used to check pupils understanding of the Metals topic at Key Stage 3. The concepts included in this quiz are - Periodic table - Properties of metals and non metals - Alkali metals - Reactions of metals - Elements/mixtures/compounds These questions can be used one at a time as Hinge Point Questions during the lesson or at the end of topic to diagnose as a class areas that should be revised in more depth. Each question is designed to probe a specific common misunderstanding/misconception.

Pupils complete the activity from the upd8 website. They then answer questions individually on the worksheet. There is a level ladder and the questions increase in difficulty.

Pupils do the upd8 activity to learn about the differences between diamond (an element) and moissanite (a compound). I got them to make models of diamond and moissanite atoms with cocktail sticks and plasticine. They evaluated the models for AF1, the worksheet has questions for AF2.

I put these cover sheets on pupils' lab reports when they hand them in and tick the statements they achieve. There is space to put the level they get and a teacher comment as well as improvements for the next piece of work. VERY useful please download. I modified a resource I found on TES named something like APP I can checklist but I cant find it now. Thank you to the person who did that and contact me if you see this.

Here is a challenge homework sheet I prepared for my Year 6 class for the inheritance and evolution topic. They choose one idea and make a poster or leaflet to show their understanding of the topic. This could be used as a challenge/extension for higher ability pupils.
