This is a revision checklist for the Year 1 syllabus for AQA Psychology. I usually give this to students before the Easter break to help them keep on top of their revision for their mock exams (hence the Easter theme!)

These are essay card templates for AQA Psychology. I find this helps students to plan their essays more effectively, getting the balance between AO1 and AO3 correct and developing their PEEL paragraphs. Some also find it useful as a revision resource, planning out essays for each topic in rough from memory.

Classic Blockbusters-style game with 25 true/false questions covering the whole topic. Fun way to end the scheme of work and help students revise. Be sure to enable content in order for the game to work when you start the powerpoint

A resource made up of eight cards with each of the glands in the endocrine system and eight information cards with their respective locations and hormones they secrete. Quick match-up activity which works great as a starter or consolidation.

I created this resource as a way of getting my Y12 students to practise their exam technique. It has a variety of exam questions (mostly Research Methods, but also Psychopathology, Memory, Social Influence and Biopsychology) all applied in the context of the Tiger King documentary on Netflix. They loved it and no previous knowledge of Tiger King required in order to succeed!

This is a presentation for Y2 of the AQA Psychology A Level. It features the key issues with the validity and reliability of diagnosis and classification of schizophrenia.

A series of 10 multi-colour icons (A4 size) with details of different career pathways and areas you can go into with a Psychology degree. The different pathways are: Law and Forensics, Advice and Therapy, Computing, Media/Marketing, Sports Psychology, Education, Business/Industry, Management, Healthcare, Research. Each icon has a bit about the different careers, alongside specific job titles and an estimated average salary. These were originally created for our upcoming sixth form open evening as a way of luring in prospective students! It helps to battle with the idea that if you study Psychology you have to become a psychologist - by helpfully displaying the different routes you can go once you have graduated. Great for display boards in classrooms, powerpoint presentations and information booklets.

This is a workpack that I use for students alongside my powerpoints to help them through the Schizophrenia topic of the AQA Psychology A Level. There are 31 pages fulfilling each of the specification points, with boxes for students to copy down information for both AO1 and AO3, alongside matchup activities and past paper exam questions. I find this invaluable for helping to structure their notes and understanding how to evaluate. I print one for each of my students at the start of the topic (A3 paper made into an A4 booklet) and find it invaluable as a resource, saving them time and helping them to stay organised and digest content.

This is a workpack I created for the Issues & Debates topic of the A Level AQA Psychology specification. This has 30 pages of content, with space for both AO1 and AO3, in addition to space for links to the key approaches and some practice past paper questions as well. It is formatted for A4 paper but I make it in to a booklet (printed on to A3 paper and stapled in half) so students have a topic per double page. Feedback from students is always positive, they find these really help to structure their learning and keep their notes neat for later revision.
