This a Chemistry resource aimed at KS4 (and upper KS3) with 6 different concept maps for students to complete. It includes 1. Atoms, Elements, 2.Development of the Atom, 3. Development of Periodic Table and 4. Groups 7 and 0, 5. Group 1 and Transition Metals and 6. Mass, size and Electronic Structure. Check out a free one (Development of the Atom) to try before you consider buying the full resource at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/development-of-a-model-of-the-atom-concept-mapping-worksheet-12191441 It gives students incomplete concept maps for them to complete and complete ones to check against. The complete ones have images to aid memory. It is based on AQA but can be used by other boards. It can be used in 1 lesson, but is better over a series of revision lessons, given as a graphic organiser, homework or as a plenary. The resource contains sheets for more or less able and answer sheets for students to peer or self assess.

This is a fun but educational Firework / Bonfire night resource aimed at KS3 and KS4, which teaches safety, flame tests, flame emission spectroscopy, energy stores, data handling and wavelength drawing. The lesson lasts approx 1 hour, longer if you do all the activities. It’s fun but educational. It contains: Technicians Notes/Ordering/Links to Hazcards Lesson Plan Answers to questions for self/peer marking. Student method and results table sheet Learning Objectives-related to the specification (just in case management suspect you are having fun for no good reason). (KS3/4) Safety Activity-Students are asked to suggest the precautions that need to be taken when carrying out this practical. (KS3) Practical-Simple flame test of 6 metal solutions (KS3/4) with method sheet and questions Energy Stores-Students have a fill in the gaps and a list of the energy stores to help them (KS4) Flame Emission Spectroscopy-This is a lining up activity, where students need to recognise which line is which metal. Asking the students to label each line with a letter to prove it (KS3/4) Waves-This simple activity asks them to judge the wavelength of waves to show the colour (KS3/4) Data-This activity is to test their evaluation skills using data on the metal salts they have just used and their inclusion in a firework.(KS3/4) Please check out my shop with free and paid resources at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Thank you and enjoy.

This resources consists of photographs and exam style questions with a completed graphic organiser helpsheet. This is aimed at AQA students to encourage them to practice exam style questions on required practicals anytime during the lesson. The questions are specifically generic so they can be asked about almost any of the practicals and consequently they do not need to go next to any particular one, producing over 400 combinations of questions with images. The questions are colour coded for different levels with Red-Hard, Orange-Medium and Green-Easier (one could say differentiated, but one would be stretching the truth). Also included is the required practical placemat (worth a whole £1!) to help your students answer the questions on the display. Suggestions for Activities: I generally sit my students round the display and then ask them to chose a question and I (or another student) choose a practical or vice versa. Then we discuss the answer as a class or nominate another student or practical or question, (or stick them round my board and let the display soak into their minds through osmosis / diffusion or ask a question as a plenary) The set of images and questions can be printed smaller and students and given to groups of students who turn them face down and turn two over, an image and a question, which they then answer. This game works well and makes the question and required practical more random (like the exam). Font size is set at 80 pt so that it can be seen at about 10 feet away (Approx 72 pt per 10 ft of distance is the rule) I hope you find this resource useful Thank you for reading this far.

This booklet covers the Ecology topic at KS4, but maybe suitable for some KS3. It contains 15 pages where on each page is a keyword and definition, an image, example and some simple questions and a simple extension question. It also contains a Power Point which circles key points to show the students where to look in their booklets and help them understand the ideas and processes. Also included are two interactive activities, one on population changes in an ecosystem and one on land use and effects on food production. These activities are simple, but challenge the student to give reasons for their choices. This booklet also has project activities on each page for students to work on home at. All the information is there in the booklet so that at the end they have a complete booklet to take home and hopefully revise from.

It is designed to be used with KS4, but may be used with higher ability KS3. It covers all of AQA’s glossary of key terms and working scientifically that links with the required practcials. It cover approx 40 of the keywords associated with the Required Practical part of the course. Terms covered: Accuracy, calibration, data, error, measurement error, anomalies, random error, systematic error, zero error, evidence, fair test, hypothesis, interval, precision, prediction, range, repeatable, reproducible, resolution, resolution, sketch graph, true value, uncertainty, validity, valid conclusion, variables, categoric, continuous, control, dependent, independent, risk, hazard and control. Included are an Animated Power Point where each box appears in order. A colour coded Power Point (for editing) and PDF version and black and white versions. There are three versions, one based around Osmosis to be used during Biology required practicals and one based around Thiosulfate to be used during Chemistry Required Practicals and one based around IV Characteristsics. To see a basic version of this (but with no examples) click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-required-practical-graphic-organiser-placemat-aqa-12449119 To see how they are used check out the free Osmosis Required Practical (but with this resource taken out): https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/osmosis-required-practical-lesson-with-instructions-for-home-use-12181019 Please also check out the free IV Characteristics Required Practical (but with this resource taken out): https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/i-v-characteristics-required-practical-lesson-12199364 Designed to help students understanding of key words and as a help sheet to answer questions on the Required Practicals/How Science Works part of the exam. It can be given to students as a helpsheet/placemat when planning/analysing required practicals or as a homework aid/help sheet or placed on the wall as a large Poster(s). It is also numbered so that students follow the correct order when planning the practicals.
