Hello everyone!
I made this page for all iGCSE scientists for their Physics exams.
The resource includes all the formulae and equations needed for Paper 1 and Paper 2, and also includes the UNITS that students need to learn.
I wasn’t able to find anything suitable for the new scheme, so I borrowed a layout idea from a previously available resource on here and made my own page from scratch.
Included in the download you’ll get the colour version and the black and white version.
Enjoy it - I hope it helps you!
This is a table containing the majority of chemical formulae that students will come across in GCSE.
I use this table for both my Chemistry GCSE students and my BTEC Applied Science students to get them used to the chemical formulae and their written names.
I also challenge my higher ability Year 9s with this page.
On the second page the table has been completed: This page I use for a card sort for pairs of students.
The second page can also be used to create revision cards by folding them on the middle line and gluing them together.
Have fun and happy learning!
This is a bulk-pack of the 4 most popular and useful resources for Chemistry.
4 step-by-step 'How to guides' for the 4 most important chemistry calculations in GCSE:
- Calculating the percentage composition of a molecule
- Working out the empirical formula of a compound
- Calculating the mass of reactants and products
- Calculating theoretical and actual yield
Each resource includes exercises that the students can try themselves.
I hope this helps you too!
Use this resource to schedule the new iGCSE 9-1 Biology Curriculum over 2 years.
This provides the Learning objectives for Double (Paper 1 only) or Triple Biology (Papers 1 & 2).
The roadmap shows how to timetable and schedule it all into the terms while leaving adequate space for revision.
Hope it is helpful.
I also have resources that summarise chapters onto single A3 pages to assist students with their learning; please check out my available resources. :-)
This resource is a collection I have made over the years of 12 GCSE Chemistry questions for students to calculate the mass of reactants and products.
Use this resource to assist students through the calculations, or as a piece of homework to ensure they understand the work.
Questions can be used in tests, as starters, as plenaries, etc.
This is a gem of a resource: it has 36 elements of the periodic table: their symbol along with their name.
This will assist students to learn the names and symbols of elements quickly and easily.
An extension to this could be getting students to put the elements in order, or to place the elements into their groups, or, for older students place the elements into their combining power sets.
Have fun!
This is a summary sheet I made for my students using the Pearson iGCSE Student book: the questions in each box inspire students to summarise the work that they need to know for this section.
I am gradually adding the other Chapters as I go along, including the Biology and Physics chapters.
I would print this A3 sheet double sided. It would also be good to pop it onto a coloured sheet, then you can make each subject (Bio, Chem, Phys) a different colour to easily refer to them in class.
This is a bundle of A3 summary sheets I made for my students using the Pearson iGCSE Student book: the questions in each box inspire students to summarise the work that they need to know for this section.
THis resource includes the first two chapters of each of the Biology (Section A: Life Processes and The Variety of Living Organisms) and Chemistry (Section A: Kinetic Theory, Diffusion, Atomic Structure) topics.
I am gradually adding the other Chapters as I go along.
I would print each of these topics on an A3 sheet double sided, so that the same topic is on a double-sided sheet. It would also be good to pop each double sided-sheet onto a coloured A3 sheet, then you can make each topic (Bio/Chem) a different colour to easily refer to them in class.
I know how frustrating and time consuming it is to try to find resources for your students.
I have downloaded all the Biology Sample Papers and Exam papers issued by Edexcel for the 9-1 Papers along with their markschemes and placed them on TES for you.
I have no copyright on these and they are freely available elsewhere, as well as through Edexcel as individual downloads that you need to save one by one, I just felt it easier to put them all in one place for you, as a single download.
With sensible names.
I will keep updating this download as the years go by for you.
If you would like other resources, please do check out my shop.
I have summary sheets, A3 pages of in-class summary activities and even the whole curriculum onto question-and-answer revision cards so that your students can quiz each other as lesson starters, or make their own cards at home to aid their revision.
At last! All those little specialised cells for both plants and animals on one card sort!
This card sort has the name, structure, function and a picture of each specialised cell that students need to know for KS3 and GCSE.
I use this resource for both my Year 7s and for my Year 10 Applied Science BTEC group - because these same cells are present in the curriculum for both groups.
The resource can be used in oodles of different ways;
- Students can sort and stick in. Perhaps even get them to research and add appropriate colours to the different parts.
-You can make 'pair sets' (one between two students), laminate them and use them over and over for starters or plenaries.
-You can clip and place onto a slide for students to pair up for games of splat (put picture and function of cell and students need to put their hand on both when the name of the cell is said).
-You can keep the first column as a solid strip and only cut up the others (or do this with any column) to make it easier.
-If you haven't taught the topic yet, you can give them the cards, and a CGP book and get them to work out which card goes with which: that way also giving them some access to literacy within Science.
-Use it any way you can think of!
I find interactive learning is certainly the best way, and these cards facilitate the learning of students so that they can discover specialised cells for themselves!
This is a fantastic resource to round up the Year 7 Human Reproduction topic.
The resource can either be used as Quiz questions to save a bit of time; or as a board game if you wanted the students to have a bit more fun.
Use at the end of the topic and combine with other Quiz cards at the end of the Year for a full-year revision syllabus.
The final page has the board for the game; this should be printed on to A3 paper.
Instructions are included on the first card, as: "All players begin on the ‘Start’ square. Each player rolls dice to start and moves that number of squares. If landing on an instruction square (i.e. “miss a go”)-follow the instruction. If landing on a Q square, answer the question correctly to move the stated number of squares forward. If question answered incorrectly, stay where you are. First player to ‘End’ square who answers the final question correctly, wins."
If you print the first 3 question pages onto coloured paper and laminate, this will make them easy to combine with different colours for the end of year revision session to make them easier to sort back into topic sets afterwards.
Have fun!
This is a great game that matches questions about Ecology, the Environment, Cells and Living things to their answers-which are on other cards.
Great for end of topic quizzes and for student's problem-solving skills.
The above photograph shows more or less what the resource will look like when the game is complete and the cards are properly assembled into their loop. (This photograph is of another loop game – but same concept).
This resource contains a pack of 30 cards, and is great for a class of 30 or less pupils.
You can print the cards onto coloured paper and laminate them, you’ll only need 1 set per class.
Each card has a question on the top and an unrelated answer at the bottom.
The question at the top relates to an answer on a card elsewhere in the pack, and the answer on the bottom relates to a question elsewhere in the pack.
This game is excellent because students need to be able to answer each question to be able to locate the answer on another card, and they need to understand and be able to work out what the question would be for a particular answer to locate the question.
This is a subtle but effective way to teach students both content and exam technique: because the skill of knowing the answer in a test or quiz is never enough: they also need to be able to work out with what question the answer will be prompted.
Have fun!

A Card sort that has the names, functions and pictures of the different main organs within the body.
Can be used as starter, plenary, etc.
Students can use this resource in a variety of ways:
-Sort the cards in the three columns as given.
-Sort the cards and identify them according to the system they are in.
-Arrange the picture cards according to the approximate location of the organ from the top of the body downwards.
-In pairs, one could pick up a card and ask the other to find the two that match.
-You could put the parts on a slide with screen grabs and create a game of "splat" (where two students have to touch the parts that go with a particular word, i.e. "liver" - then hopefully they would touch the drawing of the liver and the function of the liver).
-Any other use you can think of!
I find this helps students to identify the organs once they move to playing with the body model. Sometimes in smaller groups, once they have sorted organs according to position, I'll give them the body model to do it there too. My students also love Splat as it is interactive and competitive.
Hi all!
This is a revision mat set I created to help my students summarise their work bit by bit to try to keep them on top of the enormous content of the new 9-1 2016 curriculum. Hopefully it will help with revision as it is a great little activity.
I contains a mixture of diagrams, calculations, questions, definitions, formulae that are needed and a touch of fun.
I will be adding further resources as I create them.
These mats:
Biology goes up to page 33,
Chemistry goes up to page 35,
Physics goes up to page 23.
All of the OCR textbook.
Keep me posted on how it goes! :-)
This is a resource is of back to back cards of chemical compound names and their formulae.
Print each page. Stick the pages back to back, and you'll be able to cut out the different circuit components to use as revision/quiz cards.
Great for spot-checks that students know the various different components.
This resource is very handy to quiz students on whether or not they know their circuit components.
These are easy marks in exam papers, and yet many students throw these marks away because they cannot recognise the circuit parts.
Print the pages out, align them, stick them back to back, and then cut out your very own set of quiz cards.
Have fun!
This is a summary sheet I made for my students using the Pearson iGCSE Student book: the questions in each box inspire students to summarise the work that they need to know for this section.
I am gradually adding the other Chapters as I go along, including the Chemistry and Physics chapters.
I would print this A3 sheet double sided, so that the first of the 6 sections for Biology are all on a double-sided sheet. It would also be good to pop it onto a coloured sheet, then you can make each section a different colour to easily refer to them in class.
