I have used this for homework, but there is no reason that it couldn’t be used in lessons. I have included the word document so that you can edit the resource as you wish. The pdf is also there for quick printing.
Or just use some of the questions – copy them onto ShowMyHomework or Office/Google Form quizzes. Ready made plausible answers and fully explained for immediate feedback. The files are also saved separately should you wish to upload the files to make any online testing more realistic.
Students can write their answers on the front page. Easy marking for teachers, but lots of exam question exposure for students. This resource will give you more time to spend on the feedback and where students have made mistakes.
I have used this to build confidence with my students, but also as part of continually revisiting earlier parts of the course that I have taught. Repetition, repetition, repetition!

I use “quickkeyapp” on my iphone to mark the work (see bubble sheets at the end of the resource), but you do not need this app. Just get the students to write a,b,c,d or e as their answer.
Extremely easy to mark and therefore giving you more time to spend on the feedback.
#SLOP - shed loads of practice
There are 20 questions - some multichoice.
Easy to mark, but makes students think about how current and potential difference behave in series and parallel circuits.
Answers are fully annotated to help explain if students get the question incorrect.
I have used this as homework and been able to quickly mark the work as a starter activity. Students can do some question level analysis using the front page to record where they made mistakes and consequently set their own targets.

#SLOP - shed loads of practice
This resource comes with 20 multiple choice questions on the topic of Nuclear Decay Equations and Half-Life. Primarily aimed at GCSE / iGCSE students, but could equally be used as a reminder for A Level students.
The topics of the questions are as follows (on the front page of the exam style paper):
• Labelling atom
• Alpha definition
• Beta definition
• Particle names
• Periodic Table
• Neutron facts
• Alpha/Gamma compare
• Alpha decay

• Half-life graph
• Using data – activity
• Half-life from data
• Half-life from data
Questions are given with 5 choices of answer (A,B,C,D,E). Each answer is “plausible”, which makes the student think and allows misconceptions to be discussed quickly. A great way to assess learning in a non-threatening and fun way. I have used this to build confidence with my students, but also as part of continually revisiting earlier parts of the course that I have taught. Repetition, repetition, repetition!
Students can write their answers on the front page. Easy marking for teachers, but lots of exam question exposure for students. Feedback from teachers is that it is extremely easy to mark and therefore giving more time to spend on the feedback and where students have made mistakes.
Extensive answers are provided – giving the full working / method where required. The answers provide a step by step method so that students can identify exactly where they have gone wrong.
The word document is included so that you can edit the resource as you wish. The pdf is also there for quick printing.

The resource has primarily been made for AQA Science. As with most topics however, each exam board will require the same knowledge – physics is physics. Always consult your specification.
v2 - u2 = 2as
Starts with the equation followed by a worked example.
All 8 questions are multiple choice to allow for quick diagnosis and marking. They require application of using and rearranging the equation to find the solution.
Builds confidence as students can choose from possible options and get quick feedback when the answers are shared.
Each question has a full method, step by step, focussing on the strategy of how to tackle these questions.
BUG - Box, Underline and Go (and check) and also step by step guidance where students follow good habits that they can check in the reflection activity at the end.
PDF for quick printing provided and Word document for editability.
Can also copy and paste questions into Microsoft Forms / Google so self marking as a homework activity.
