Please feel free to modify this lesson for your own use but do not upload it to TES as this is my work. A PowerPoint that will run for a whole lesson with accompanying worksheet. Aimed at low ability/confidence students. I’m using this following lockdown so I’ve built it assuming very limited knowledge/retention of C1. If you have a higher group, this will probably be too easy for them! This lesson is followed by lessons on each type of bonding in more detail. Recaps Basic atomic structure Groups and periods Group 0 Introduces Why atoms form bonds Types of bonding Provides practice for Identifying bonding types Explaining why bonds form Explaining why group 0 are unreactive

Try before you buy: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/aqa-b1-must-know-facts-revision-tool-12257712 Bundle of grids with some really fundamental, must know questions to aid students’ revision. I have been using these with students and have had really good feedback from them and seen an increase in assessment scores. The way I use them is to give it to them and give them 10 mins to try as many questions as they can independently. They then get another 10-15 with their revision guide/talking to others. We self-assess then they get exam questions to apply their newly refreshed knowledge. Some units have 2 versions - 1 for separate (triple) and 1 for combined.

A simple mat for the AQA Food Tests Required Practical with a Cloze passage and a results table.

A differentiated worksheet I made for students to practice drawing ions and identifying charges on ions ready to move on to ionic bonding. Suitable for all chemistry and combined science exam boards.

Really simple worksheet with sentence starters for writing methods for the Required Practical. No frills on this one - simple and clean! Fully editable.

AQA 8461 Biology AQA 8464 Combined Science (Trilogy) A fun loop game for revision of unit 4 (Bioenergetics). Instructions included. You can make this a fun competition between classes or challenge a class to beat their best time on a later date! 48 cards

AQA Biology 8461 AQA Combined Science: Trilogy 8464 A fun loop game to revise unit 3 (Infection and response). Two versions included, one for separates and one for combined. Instructions included. You can make this a fun competition between classes or challenge a class to beat their best time on a later date! Separate has 52 cards (roughly 2 for each student) Combined has 42 cards

AQA 8461 Biology AQA 8464 Combined Science (Trilogy) A fun loop game to revise unit 2 (Organisation). Instructions included. You can make this a fun competition between classes or challenge a class to beat their best time on a later date! 51 cards - enough for roughly 2 per student

AQA Biology 8461 AQA Combined Science: Trilogy 8464 A fun loop game to revise unit 1 (Cell biology). Two versions included, one for separates and one for combined. Instructions included.

AQA Biology (8461) 10 Sets of 22 cards, each with a keyword on. Also includes a spinner to make. One set will cater for 2-8 students. Students work in teams of 2. They spin the spinner and look at the unit it lands on (eg. Unit 1). They have 30 seconds for partner A to describe the words to partner B. If partner B guesses correctly, the team scores 2 points. If partner A skips a question, the team scores -1 point. You could set a 2 round limit or higher if time allows - the length of time the activity takes will also depend on how many teams you have per set of cards. Based on the board game, Articulate.

AQA Biology 8461 (more suited to higher level) A single sided synoptic question sheet - links multiple units of work together. The exam questions are rarely about just one unit of work, so this is a “big picture” approach to revision. The big numbers in each box refer to the AQA unit. Questions included on: global warming photosynthesis transpiration carbon cycle selective breeding vaccination monoclonal antibody production

AQA Biology 8461 (more suited to higher level) A double sided synoptic question sheet - links multiple units of work together. The exam questions are rarely about just one unit of work, so this is a “big picture” approach to revision. The big numbers in each box refer to the AQA unit Questions included on: heart structure and function specialised cells - muscle cells microscopy organisation cell cycle meiosis and mitosis stem cells and differentiation blood blood vessels osmosis kidney function and kidney problems diabetes genetically modified organisms
