A lesson with lots of board tasks to prepare students for either an end of unit test or revision for the final exams. Each set of tasks attempts to tackle a small number of the Edexcel 9-1 specification statements for radioactivity. Useful to spot gaps, and also to fill them in. I found the lesson went extremely fast. All the tasks are timed appropriately with a disappearing clock.

A consolidation AQA P2 lesson on F=ma, v=d/t, a=(v-u)/t, d/t graphs, v/t graphs used in a successful lesson observation with a class of 31 students at mid to high grade ability. Order of Business: *The formulas, units, abbreviations *Describing motion on v/t graphs *4 Group activity using worksheets (slides 18 to 25 print back to back). Students complete the front page. Worksheet activities differentiated by science group (Newton, Darwin, Einstein, Hawking) *Science Groups change to number groups and share answers on reverse of worksheet as experts. Calculate distance on v/t graphs Plenary Question NB/ You may wish to change the example problems on the worksheet/ppt to include your name instead of mine.

A grade laddered lesson with lots of calculations with practice exam questions at the end. Order of business... Starter - match the energy type Draw energy transfer diagrams Calculate energy conservation Calculate efficiency Use Sankey diagrams Exam questions Print slide 22 or the attached worksheet files

Each sheet is a simple keyword definition task with 10 keywords, which can be used as either a starter, plenary, or homework task. Useful cover activity as well. A bare bones sample is available for free for some of the units. Topics are: Acids and Alkalis Cells Chemical Purity Chemical Reactions Disease Ecosystems Electricity Elements and Compounds Energy Food Force Gas Exchange Genetics Matter Motion Photosynthesis Pressure Reproduction Rocks Skeletal System Space Waves also an excel file with each list included for the teacher. If there are any errors, please comment.

What you get for your money: A revision calendar from 1st Sept to July 2015 AQA Science A Core & Additional content statements in a numbered list for each unit. As the title suggests, a simple excel revision calendar for year 11 2015 to 2016 cohort. It includes all the AQA content statements and works on the basis that students study one statement from each discipline a night. It provides structure for students who simply don't know where to start, tells them what to revise and when. Useful from the beginning of the year, but if you're coming to it later, adjust the dates/statements to match the time left. AQA exam dates and holidays are marked on, and obviously can be changed to suit timeframe needs. ALSO, if the calendar isn't for you but you are looking for a complete microsoft friendly list of AQA specification content statements for core and additional science, then this is for you; just copy and paste. Best printed on A3 but will fit on A4 double sided, if you don't object to small font.

A powerpoint lesson on the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram, Binary Stars, and nuclear fusion.

A straightforward lesson on power equation, running costs and power ratings with lots of calculation practice. There is a supporting powerpoint and a worksheet differentiated D to C/C to A included which provides further examples.

A consideration of how the sun is powered via nuclear fusion. Can be used with interested students, A level students, or a high ability GCSE class.

A powerpoint about measuring distance in space. Covers radar, cepheids. supernovae, red shift. Includes worksheet

Supporting Powerpoint for OCR A. Includes notes on: dynamic vs static electricity movement of electrons and ions. conductors and insulators Conventional current vs electron flow Showing a plasma ball is optional and not on the specification but its weird and cool and the students like it. This also applies to the Van Der Graaf Generator if you have one.

A trio of DART activities for GCSE physics, but could be used with higher level earlier years.

These are just simple homework sheets to help with definitions. More to be added as I do them. I found they worked well at the end of a unit and just reiterated some of the main keywords expected at KS3. Obviously these can be catered for different classes and abilities. Hope they help. If you have any suggestions, leave a comment. I can take it *sob.
