Update: Lowered the price if you have to teach this topic at this time This resource of the different electrical models has moving parts to show the students how the model works if they were to see it in real life. It talks about the sweets/matches model, water models (radiator/waterfall), delivery model (coal to Power station) and the ball bearing (chains/rope/dominoes) model and now the Traffic in a City Model. Each model has an animation and asks the students what each part represents and how they can adapt the model to show series/parallel or higher voltage. I have added a worksheet on each model so that students can evaluate each model on how good it is. A master worksheet for adding your own model and a sheet for students to come up with their own model to help their understanding. If you want an animation that shows what happens in a circuit that I made for free (so you can see how bad (or good) my animation skills in powerpoint are, click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/understanding-electricity-voltage-and-current-12450133 For more resources free (and paid), check out my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Please comment if you have found this resource useful.

This updated Biology resource now has individual 9-1 graded exam style questions to assess students levels. It is used with KS4 and is designed to ask questions on Working Scientifically and the Maths calculations that are involved. These exam style questions with model answers are adapted from AQA past papers. They are normally used post practical as assessment / revision / homework, but can be used during as well or a cover lesson. This contains all the Required Practicals in Biology in one place: Osmosis, Decay, Enzymes, Field Investigations, Food Tests, Microbiology, Photosynthesis, Plant Response and Reaction Times. It also includes the Required Practical Graphic Orgainser helpsheet (worth £1) that will help the students answer the questions in these resources. Each required practical resource comes as a 5 Power Point slide to project in lessons and a PDF version for printing. It has two sheets of questions and two sheets of answers allowing for students to self or peer assess. On the top right hand corner of the sheet the students can identify areas where they need to improve so that teachers can easily see which section they are having trouble with. Each sheet assesses students skills including interpreting the data, calculations, remembering the Health and Safety and suggesting ways of improving the experiment. Key concepts covered are types of error and rarer ones such as validity, reproducibility and repeatability. Each question slide has Blooms Style Learning Objectives for whole class focused learning.

This Chemistry resource is aimed at KS3 (or lower ability KS4). It last an hour approximately and has 4 group challenges and a whole class challenge at the end. It includes audio instructions from the Periodic Table Master who challenges the students to solve his fiendish clues and try to escape where none have done before. Please use this resource responsibly as it’s a bit scary. If you want a less scary version try: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/fun-periodic-table-and-elements-lesson-12194324 It includes: Lesson Plan with ideas for how to increase the atmosphere in the room (it doesn’t need a lab) Clues for students to find elements, their symbols and their position on the Periodic Table in terms of periods and groups. It also uses their knowledge of reactivity of groups 1 and 7 for solving some of the clues. Sound of the voice of the Periodic Table master to increase the realism. An evaluation at the end to judge which parts of the escape room (curriculum) they found easy/hard. Please comment. I hope you find this resource useful. Thank You.

This resource contains keywords, images and definitions (see below for all 60 keywords covered). It is aimed at KS4, but can be used with upper KS3. The resource can be used as a matching activity, a booklet for revision or display (more uses described below). It can be used in several ways: As a whole class activity: The Power Point version is animated so that it puts the image on first, followed by the keyword, then the definition. In this way, students can be shown the image and asked what the keyword is, then are asked what the definition is. The Interactive Power Point has all the keywords linked to the slide with that definition. It also contains a back to the previous slide button so that you can back to the word you were discussing. The Interactive Keyword Power Point at beginning has all the keywords on the second slide. Click to link to that slide, then click the Home button to go back-Use when referring to certain words that students have difficulty with. As a display around the room. Printed smaller and given to the students as a keyword booklet or Graphic Organiser to revise from. Memory game: Printed smaller and cut out, turned over and the students turn a card over and ask the other students in their group to give the definition when given the word, or vice versa. Cut the titles off and the image, place them all around the room, give the student one piece and ask them to find the other two parts tjhat go with it. The presentation has all the keywords in order of when they are mentioned in the AQA Specification. The Keywords are: Atom, Element, Chemical Symbol, Periodic Table, Compound, Chemical Reaction, Energy Change, Chemically combine, Proportion, Formula, Word Equations, Symbol Equations, Balanced, Ion, Half Equation, Ionic Equation, Separation, Filtration, Crystallisation, Distillation, Fractional Distillation, Chromatography, Purification, Chemical Properties, Model, Electron, Plum Pudding Model, Alpha Particle Scattering Experiment, Nucleus, Nuclear Model, Orbit, Protons, Neutrons, Charge, Relative, Isotopes, Atomic Mass, Nanometres, Percentage Abundance, Energy Levels/Shells, Electronic Structure, Groups, periods, Atomic Weight, Metals, Mendeleev’s Periodic table, Non-metals, Noble gases/Group 0, Trend/Pattern, Alkali Metals/Group 1, Halogens/Group 7, Molecule, Displacement, Aqueous, Salt, Solution, Transition Metals, Density, Hardness and Reactivity. *New Keywords added: Atomic Number, Mixtures, Physical properties, Scattering and Shielding Please comment with any suggestions for improvements or other ideas for resources. I hope you find this resource useful.

This is a lesson that explains to KS4 students the importance of Avogadro’s number and Moles. It gives definitions of the mole and Avogadro’s constant, that are important for exams. It is based around the OCR scheme of work, but will work on other syllabus for explaining what a mole is and how to use it in calculations. Contains: 15 page ppt slide inc lesson objectives, starter and plenary questions 3 pages of questions on Mole, Mass or Avogadro’s number Answers to worksheet for peer/self assessment. I hope you find this useful Please comment Thank you.

Please find most of the resources I have been making for the last 3-4 years. I hope you find them useful. They are mainly based on Mounce’s Greek and Van Pelt’s Hebrew, but can be used with any of the books out there. Please comment if you find these useful. Thank you.

This is a reward questionnaire to ask students the best way to reward them in the classroom. The second sheet can be used generically so that students delete from their sheet the rewards that they don’t need or like.
