CP6 Radiation Summary Lesson

(0)
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.

2015 to 2016 GCSE AQA Additional Science Revision Calendar
martinblake1martinblake1

2015 to 2016 GCSE AQA Additional Science Revision Calendar

(1)
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.

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.
Working Waves Revision Pack OCR G635

Working Waves Revision Pack OCR G635

(3)
For OCR Applied Science A-level - Working Waves External Assessment unit G635. In this pack is a large (very large) powerpoint covering each statement in the specification (one statement per slide generally). The optical fibre stuff gave me a headache so apologies if I'm missing anything. I've also included some exam questions interspersed with the relevant markschemes for revison purposes, taken from Exam papers 2011 to 2014.
