This is a Blooms taxonomy based around questions asked in Science lessons. It is aimed at KS3 and KS4. It has examples based on the States of Matter topic covering the hierarchy with examples of each for students to aim for. It can be used by students when answering questions or doing analysis. It can be used as a place mat during lessons or enlarged for classroom display or included in Power points when doing a question in that style.

Updated with answers. This resource is aimed at KS3, but can be used with KS4 (and some KS2). It asks about key phrases and whether they are true or not in all or just some situations. This can be done as a whole class with white boards, or printed on sheets (on desks or around the room) and students add a tick on to show their opinion. It can also be fond as part of a Misconceptions in Science CPD package at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/science-misconceptions-cpd-12237121 I have now produced my first overcoming misconceptions lesson, it can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/overcoming-forces-misconception-of-normal-and-newton-s-3rd-law-lesson-12210726 For more free and paid for resources please check out my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Please comment.

This is list of 9-1 GCSE grade descriptors based on the type of question that is being asked. It can be used to assess a students understanding by looking at what type of question a student can answer. It is in order of grades and is divided into the main areas that questions are based on: The grade descriptors are 1. Diagrams or Symbols, 2. Uses-Real world or Scientific, 3. Interpreting Data from a Table, Graph or Diagram, 4. Variables, Required Practicals and Working Scientifically, 5. Science Knowledge, Ideas, Models, 6. Science Processes-Recognising, Explaining, Understanding or Applying and 7. Calculations. I have used these to produce a revision sheet for Periodic Table and Atoms from the latest AQA paper.

This is a COVER lesson that can be given to students for home study. It follows the KS3 AQA Enquiry Processes (skills rather than knowledge) so it can be given off topic as a cover lesson or used yourself. It includes: A large main activity sheet (please print both sides onto A3) with an answer sheet if they get stuck (or the supply teacher does…) A simple Power Point to guide the class through the activities A straight forward lesson plan with lesson objectives etc. All files are editable. Hope you find this useful next time you have a colleague off (or you need a cover lesson to hand in if you’re not in for any reason.) Most of us know that one of the most difficult parts of being a science teacher was being told by your HoD when you arrive, “Miss/Mr X is not in today can you plan his/her Period 1 lesson” (And you haven’t planned yours either!) So here it is, hopefully a lesson that can be given to the supply teacher, with hardly any modifications. Depends on how this is received I may produce some more of these. Feel free to check out my shop for more free (and paid) resources: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Please comment if you have found this useful, it will spur me on to produce more.

This updated chemistry KS4 lesson asks 9-1 graded exam style questions and provides model answers covering symbols, balancing equations, naming compounds and more. It lasts approx 1 hour. It contains keyword helpsheets for students of lower ability. It encourages students to use keywords and link concepts together. All the other revision lessons are available individually, but for all the revision lessons as a bundle at a reduced price click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/atomic-structure-and-periodic-table-revison-pack-12193157 I am currently going through the 2018/19 Chemistry exam papers to create a grade descriptor based on what would be asked in the exam. I will also be updating my resources with levels based on these. More soon.
