MCQ for the new A-Level spec

This is the first lesson free, so you can judge the quality of the work and decide if you want to buy the full scheme for £9.99. For a cheap pre-release version of the full scheme see https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/edexcel-topic-1-key-concepts-in-chemistry-new-spec-2016-scheme-of-work-11331154

I have taken the spec, write learning objectives and sorted them in to lesson blocks. and then worked out the number of hours I think it would take to teach. The ideal situation has worked out as a year 3 plan, taking out all the practicals and setting a lot of homework has worked out as a 2 year ("Oh ****, why didn't they tell us earlier") plan. Chemistry can be found at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/2-and-3-year-gcse-plan-for-new-2016-aqa-combined-and-separate-science-chemistry-11322526 I'm using this as the basis for the SOWs I'm writing Atomic Structure and the periodic Table can be found here https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/aqa-atomic-structure-and-the-periodic-table-full-scheme-of-work-for-new-gcse-2016-spec-11317289

This is part of a full scheme of work https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/aqa-atomic-structure-and-the-periodic-table-full-scheme-of-work-for-new-gcse-2016-spec-11317289 In the full scheme of work for the new (teaching from 2016) exam spec. These are the resources I will be using in class so will be constantly updated and improved as they are taught. Any feedback is welcome! For a FREE sample lesson see http://tinyurl.com/hqok5h6 Discount Bundles and Versions for AQA, Edexcel and OCR are available, and it’s clearly stated which bits are needed for combined or separate science. This is designed so you have to do very little in preparation for the lessons. I hope you will enjoy the free time this gives you and your students will benefit from well thought out and detailed resources. Everything is clearly explained and all answers are provided so non-specialist can teach with confidence. Student self-assessment sheets; I have used these successfully for years in lesson and OFSTED and SLT love them! They show clear progression for students, which can be easily seen by anyone who looks at the books. There are links to resources that students can use at home to improve their understanding if they do not feel confident in a topic. Starter’s; these are designed to give cumulative learning, within a structured format. Each lesson (apart from the first) starts with five questions about content they have covered in previous lessons. This gives students a chance to review knowledge on a continuing basis (hopefully) leading to deeper learning. Homework’s; most of these are on line, so you just have to set it for your class and it gets mark automatically. Otherwise there are investigations and activities that require very little marking from you, allowing you to enjoy your weekend. End of topic tests; have been written to match (as close as I can) the style of the new exam papers. There are foundation and higher versions, each lasting 45 minutes with fully explained answers. The questions have been clearly and thoughtfully laid out to allow students to show off their knowledge to the best of their abilities,. The question ramp as you go through the paper and through the question and a number of maths and multiple choice questions have been included. Estimate grade boundaries have been included. Worksheets; these have been made to accompany each part of the lesson; you can either use the slides or give out the scaffold to help students who need it. PowerPoints; have embedded video clips, so you don’t have to find them, answers to all questions and engaging graphics. These have been designed with a clear/non-cluttered style to be friendly to students who have low level of literacy

4 Sheets, separate sheets for combined and separate sciences, with and without units. I use the ones without units to test students on how they have learnt them To accompany this I have full schemes of work available.

for revision, Chemistry and physics also available

This is a free sample lesson so you can see the quality of the SoW. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/aqa-atomic-structure-and-the-periodic-table-full-scheme-of-work-for-new-gcse-2016-spec-11317289 Any custom work you would like to to undertake or any corrects please get in contact via TES or Twitter. Feedback and corrections happily received!

Version for chemistry and physics are avalible

This experiment can be heard to do in class sue to lack of resources, but is frequently asked about in exams. I have made a videos of the experiment and students have to draw the graph from the video. The video has no sound Full sheet with differentiated questions coming soon...

I make video of most of the demos and practicals that I do in class and post them on YouTube, to try and make these for useful for the teaching community, I've uploaded silent versions here so so you can embed them into your PowerPoint. The clips are on YouTube, ad-free and noise free so you can add you own special magic touch without worrying about ads or disruptions. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7O6CcKg0HaH888fPYQ3w3hZudBSgV63m My YouTube channel has lots of videos to help students with GCSE and A-Level Chemistry and Physics You cannot upload these to any public website, but can be used on VLE's for internal student use only. Covering -Convection -distillation -thermochromic properties of zinc oxide -measuring rates of reaction by loss of mass (makes a great graph skills lesson)

This is a booklet I use to teach my class these topics, it is a collection of resources by other excellent TES authors collated into a booklet. I just hand this over (after a long lecture on responsibility and ownership of learning) and I spend the lessons with people who need help. Those who are more capable can fly ahead and start revision for June. I have used this over several years, it has always been very successful, occasionally you need to remind students to stay on track, but otherwise lessons are focused and enjoyable to teach. Covering; Marie Curie (1867 -1934) Background radiation The Discovery of the Nucleus Nuclear Reactions Radioactivity Maths Modelling radioactive decay Half-Life Graphs Half-Life Maths Using radioactivity – selecting the appropriate source Carbon Dating Dating rocks Nuclear Fission Nuclear Fusion Evidence for the Big Bang – Red Shift Using telescopes to look into space The Life Cycle of a Star

I give this to my year 12 class and quiz them on it, used as part of a larger lesson plan here-https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/naming-ionic-compounds-and-writing-formula-11071245

Booklet of activities that covers the whole topic. I print this out as an A5 booklet and get students to stick that in their books then work through it over multiple lessons. I tell them it must be completed by the date of the end of topic test, but they can work through it at their own pace and pick which activity they do each day. You could print this out as A4 work sheets, or use it digitally. You hand this over and all you need to do is check they are working in lessons. It does look a bit chaotic, as everyone is working on different things. A large range in activities is included. I have analysed the impact on student achievement this style of learning has and my preliminary data is showing am average of 0.5 grade increase per student. This took me a very long time to produce and I'm not charging for it, if you re going to use it please do not remove the footer or the links to my YouTube channel. I am offering it for free to get more traffic to my site. I reused two resources from the TES an they are included as originals here as well - thank you to the original authors
