Tests all of the memorised knowledge required for the new AQA Physics GCSE.
They progress cumulatively throughout each topic.
Physics only (triple science only) are identified in purple.
Equations provided on the equation sheet are in bold and italic.
Designed to be printed onto a folded A3 sheet, or two A4 sheets stapled together, this resource provides a framework for a complete experiment from Hypothesis all the way to Evaluation.
The graph is plotted onto graph paper which is included in the printed sheet, along with a table for results which is flexible (there are a few blank columns in case your experiment requires ranges/calculated columns etc.
All of the prompts have been designed to be as open as possible, and the help sheet is designed to assist pupils who are unfamiliar with scientific process, or require prompting.
An all-in-one write up resource!
Developed to teach pupils how to revise, and to try new revision techniques, this resource structures each topic and provides the option for pupils to choose which type of revision activity is best for each section of each topic.
Instructions for a variety of key revision activities are on the rear of the sheet, so pupils can revise completely independently, given appropriate notes or other stimulus material (see my other resources for activities which result in a full set of notes!).
I have included the original publisher document so you can adapt it or create a version for your own subject.
