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 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.
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.
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.
