This is a full revision lesson based around answering a 6 mark question. -Review current understanding of key words and developing a vocab list to use in future answers. -Improve understanding of what an acid is and how it’s strength is determined. -Develop a strategy for approaching longer answer questions. -Use a mark scheme to assess model answers. -Develop an excellent answer that can also be used as a model for other topics. Resources include: -PowerPoint of the lesson including example 6 mark question. -Key words and definitions match up. -Model answers. -Mark scheme. Also available as part of a bundle with a Biology and Physics 6 mark question.

A series of questions to test recall for all topics on the AQA Trilogy Paper 1 for Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Questions come in blocks of 10, with either one or two sets for each topic. These are accompanied by a table for students to track their own progress. I am currently using these with all my GCSE groups. Students complete the same test at the start of each lesson and record their results. This is repeated until all the class are successful, I then mix up the questions and repeat the process.

This is a complete lesson for the displacement of metals based upon the reactivity series. It also includes revision and exam question practice. This lesson includes; - Bell work (2 x "explaining "exam questions with model answers) - Differentiated objectives - Basic method and results table for a reactivity series investigation - Model answers to the investigation with discussion

This is a complete lesson that helps students to independently research several effects humans can have on the environment. It includes; - Bell work (with key words) - Differentiated objectives - Group research and discussion - Practical investigation into acid rain - Developing prediction - Plenary

This is a complete lesson that investigates the growth of bacteria through practical work and analysing data. It includes; - Bell work - Differentiated objectives - Group discussion - Practical work - Risk assessment skills - Peer assessment - Data to analyse

This is a full lesson on the Impact of Smoking. It includes; - Bell work - Differentiated objectives - Guided demonstrations with questions - Interactive activities - Data to analyse - Guidance on writing a conclusion - Interactive plenary

This is a full lesson in which students investigate how to measure the two types of variation. It teaches them to distinguish between continuous and discontinuous variation before collecting data and presenting it as a graph. It includes: - Bell work - Differentiated objectives - Examples and task to identify continuous and discontinuous data. - Resources to measure variation in class. - Example data to use for graph drawing. - Hints and tips for graph drawing. - Peer assessment guide.

This is a full lesson that investigates how igneous rocks are formed with different sized crystals in them. It can be a stand alone lesson or follow on from another resource on the site that investigates the viscosity of lava. In this lesson; - Bell work - Objectives - Literacy activity to improve a description - Investigation into crystal sizes with worksheet - Applying understanding to a real volcano - Planning a further investigation into crystal colours

This is a full lesson that follows on from the structure of the Earth and investigates how igneous rocks are formed and how the composition of the lava affects the shape of a volcano. It includes; - Bell work - Objectives & Key words - Modelling igneous rock formation - Developing descriptions (including DIRT) - Types of igneous rock - Investigating the viscosity of lava - Applying findings to volcano shape I also have available the following lesson that investigates crystal size in igneous rocks.

An interactive activity where students pick a number to reveal a command word they need to define. This can be used with individual students, teams or whenever students are answering exam questions.

This is a full Carbon Cycle lesson with printable sheets and answers incorporated in the PowerPoint. The lesson includes; -Key word bell activity -Graded outcomes -Barrier game to describe the carbon cycle -Blank carbon cycle to complete to reinforce what they have learnt -True/False quiz to check understanding -Apply understanding to deforestation -Finish the lesson with key word bingo

Analysis of a graph showing the population changes in rabbits and foxes over time. The worksheet includes questions differentiated using Bloom's so could also be used to improve understanding of command words.

Students sort the images into a cartoon strip that shows how WBCs fight pathogens. They then match up the description with the diagram. I followed this up by showing my own description of how this happens without using keywords. Students then rewrote my description using better language.
