Here you have everything for a revision lesson on Chemical testing. The powerpoint includes starter and plenary and explains the class activities. There are two card sort worksheets for pupils to complete to produce a summary of chemical tests. This resource is made for Cambridge IGCSE Syllabuses and includes testing from Chemistry and Biology units. There is a reference to past paper questions but I cannot upload these due to copyright. Exams that you can take questions from are: 2012 Summer Paper 1, Winter 2013 Paper 63, Winter 09 Paper 6, Winter 2010 Paper 61, Winter 2013 Paper 61,

This revision guide is 58 pages long. It is composed of closed questions that cover every point of the 2015 0653 syllabus for all three sciences. Pupils complete the revision guide by answering all the questions which gives them a summary of the whole course in one book. This is an essential revision tool and really helps pupils to structure their revision time and should improve their grades. This is the version for 2015 exams in June and November. 2016 version to follow. The price of this resource is set high because you can make as many copies as you like for the pupils in your classes. This is considerably cheaper than buying the required number of copies of any revision guide book. Please contact me if you notice any mistakes and I will edit the resource and upload a new version. PLEASE NOTE: THIS REVISION GUIDE DOES NOT INCLUDE ANSWERS/SOLUTIONS

This Powerpoint runs through the concept of energy flow in food chains, the role of decomposers and The Carbon Cycle. I have tried to make it as appealing lots of colours, images and animations. Written explanations are as simple as possible as a lot of my pupils are EAL learners. Key vocabulary is highlighted throughout. This PowerPoint is a great start to your lesson/planning. All you have to add is learning objectives and activities to suit your syllabus and class. All images used are credited in the Bibliography of the PowerPoint and those not mentioned are either taken by me or from Office Clipart for Mac/Windows.

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.

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.

Pupils have to summarise their learning in 140 characters like in twitter. They can include hashtag for key words. The resource can be printed and laminated so pupils can write with board pen. I put highlights of these on twitter #tweetplenary

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

This is a differentiated sheet where pupils have to order or fill in blanks for instructions of how to use a microscope. The extension would be to write instructions without this resource. Page 1 has the instructions in the correct order, I put them next to the microscopes. Page 2 the pupils have to cut out and put in the right order, Page 3 Pupils have to fill in the blanks with words provided.

A checklist pupils can use when writing lab reports. If they do everything they should get a level 5.

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.

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 an ICT lab based lesson where pupils find information about a chosen element and put this information in the net of a cube in a Word document. One piece of information per side of cube e.g. symbol, state at room temp, uses. There are several links to online periodic tables.

This powerpoint has signs with instructions to be displayed at 8 different stations in a carousel of experiments. The pupils have to do a simple experiment or observe what they see and decide if it is a physical or chemical change. In the notes section of the slide there is an equipment list for the station.
