Made using the AQA Trilogy specification
Contains 1 slide of activities to complete for the C9 Chemistry of the atmosphere topic
I give these out at the end of each topic and also before holidays for exam preparation.
I have made the boxes equal sizes so that they can be blown up onto A3 card to create revision cards for intervention/ starters/ plenaries
Maths skills and RPAs are incorporated when appropriate
More of these on the way for all AQA units, RPAs and maths skills. Feedback welcome
This resource is differentiated by task and also by time to be spent on each.
Red activities = hardest,
Orange = medium demand
Green = easy
The stars represent the time to be spent on each ( I change this depending on the ability of the group/ student e.g. each star represents 2 minutes)
I usually display on the board and students work on A3 or print for lower ability classes.
Could cut up and use as flashcards
The pictures were printed laminated and passed around for the students to examine.
You could also give students board pens to mark on the forces and ideas
