This is the 6th of my AFL strategies. Tarsia are an excellent and fun way of carrying out AFL. This is because the shape expected is generated if the correct answers are matched up. These are science tarsia and more of these will be added. Please leave feedback and rate the resources if you find them useful or have suggestions as to how they can be improved.

The slides are printed as 6 slide handouts and then cut. Lower ability can compare patients 1 and 2. Higher ability can compare all patients. Patients 3 to 5 pose challenging ethical questions. Use Blooms questioning to further differentiate (compare L4, Justify L7).

This is a lesson that was taught to year 7 where we looked at the tissues that make up an organ. A carousel-style practical was set up where there were different plastic organ models around the room and students had to identify the tissues in each organ. The organ system triangles can be printed for students to use. Feedback to rowan.savage@hotmail.com or contact me directly on TES.

This is a 2 part lesson sequence for B1 biology where in lesson 1 students research what diabetes and hypothermia are. They they then create a PowerPoint presentation to explain what homeostasis is and what causes these 2 diseases. In lesson 2 they complete their presentations plus present to the class. Presentations are assessed using a 10 point guide that assesses presentation skill and scientific understanding. Feedback to my TES inbox please.

This is a fun activity for lower ability groups that introduces pollution at GCSE. Cryptogram 1 is easier and cryptogram 2 is more challenging. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This covers LiAlH4, reaction mechanisms, relative reactivity of carbonyl compounds. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This is a set of revision resources for electrolysis GCSE that suit students with a variety of abilities. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

I came across the idea for lesson menus from a CPD session that I attended and have since put them into over half of my total lessons. I am putting together a series of resources to help more able students in the classroom and I will be adding to this series over the coming year. This resource has been used for a Year 7 lesson on the history of the cell. Please provide feedback to: rowan.savage@hotmail.com. I will amend this with suggested improvements later in the year.

This a question sheet for students and an answer sheet for a YouTube video from The Fuse School on acid rain. The link to the video is in the worksheets. There is lots of differentiation for lower ability through the use of a wordbank and gap fill activities. Differentiation for higher ability is through use of chemical formulae, open questions and use of keywords such as 'enzyme' and 'combustion'. AFL is carried out by getting students to peer assess each others work and giving a total number of marks. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This is a Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? revision quiz designed for Edexcel AS unit 1 inorganic chemistry that would suit all exam boards. There are a total of 15 questions that cover these topics: gas moles, calculating moles, polarisation, ionic bonding, halogen bonding, volume conversion, concentration conversion, group 2 carbonates and enthalpy of combustion. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This is a rates of reaction exam keywords glossary for GCSE that supports AQA additional science chemistry C2.4. Learning and applying keywords such as these has a positive impact on exam performance. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This is a lesson activity that I designed for my year 10 grade D-B class. The worksheet can be printed in A4 then photocopied to A5 and stuck in student books. Task boxes can ticked as students complete tasks. The Natural History Museum (London, UK) website is excellent. Feedback to rowan.savage@hotmail.com

This is an information sheet providing information on the bacteria involved in the nitrogen cycle. See my other resources for an exam tips handout that students can use as guidance.

This is a series of information sheets on the 3 main species of bacteria involved in the nitrogen cycle plus an overview of the cycle itself. Pupils may highlight keywords/ phrases and use this information to create a 6 mark exam question and mark scheme that another pupil answers. 1 mark should be for quality of writing.

I am putting together a series of AFL strategies and I will be adding to this series over the coming year. This strategy has made a great difference to my classroom teaching and can easily be made kinaesthetic using a question ball (e.g. small soft football or teddy). Please provide feedback to: rowan.savage@hotmail.com. I will amend this with suggested improvements later in the year.

These are a comprehensive selection of chemistry keywords that students use at KS3 and GCSE. I have taken a lot of time to create this resource so that each keyword is carefully linked to Blooms taxonomy, cognitive demand and grades. This is explained in detail in the comments document. These keywords as a display will not only improve literacy in science but also make students aware of the words that they should be using at a particular target grade. Please rate this resource and leave a comment.

This is a lesson plan and activities manned vs unmanned space travel. The YouTube clip is a trailer for the film gravity. Please leave a comment.

I have created an achievement wall that shows student work that has been peer assessed as well as marked by the teacher. Photos of my 2 displays are provided. These displays are changed relatively quickly once a half term or so. See my other resources for an activity that promotes peer and teacher assessment. These display letters are printed on A4 paper then cut and laminated. They are coloured according to levels - blue = 3, turqouise = 4, green = 5, orange = 6, red = 7, pink = high level 7 or 8. Please give feedback to my TES inbox.

This is one in a series of AFL strategies that I have put together. A photo is provided to show the equipment that I use. It works really well with clear Blooms-leveleld objectives and the number line (see my other resources). I have been using a question ball for some time now and here have tried to develop a variety of there kinaesthetic activities that can be used during question sessions. P.E. teachers within my school have made some excellent suggestions. I will be implementing these in the new year 2013. Feedback to my TES inbox please.
