A set of three planning cards that support students through the necessary steps to complete a successful investigation.
Steps include:
- Forming a hypothesis
- Research
- Method
- Variables - Independent, dependent and controls.
- Risk Assessment
- Conclusion
- Graphs
These can be printed on A1 sheets to make as a classroom display. They can also be printed as A3, laminated and then students can use post it notes to complete.
This is designed to familiarise students with the how science works terminology and format for laying out a clear practical.
These lessons have been created for the New Combined Science Trilogy course and are linked to the new AQA specification.
Each lesson varies in its content and are sold individually but they are also available as a complete BUNDLE (see bundles and SAVE).
Lessons include:
- Lesson Plan β a clear overview of the lesson, links to specification, three main objectives, keywords, resources, starters, 3 main activities and plenaries. Ideas are also included for differentiation for lower and more able students.
- PowerPoint β with lesson objectives and keywords on each slide.
- Additional resources β printable sheets for starters/plenaries/investigations.
- Support sheets β guidance for demonstrations and practical activities
All of these lessons will be continually updated and so please continue to revisit these resources for the most up to date resources.

Revision loop card activity for Additional Physics. Students need to cut out the cards and then sequence them so that the question on one card matches the answer on the next one. If the student get them correct, it will form a loop.
The answer sheet is also provided so that you can quickly check response and identify any mistakes made by the student(s).
A great activity to challenge students - who is quickest; to assess students and highlight misconceptions.
Loop cards include questions about:
Electricity, voltage, potential difference, current, power, thermistors, series, parallel, ac, dc, resistance
Revision loop card activity for Core Physics. Students need to cut out the cards and then sequence them so that the question on one card matches the answer on the next one. If the student get them correct, it will form a loop.
The answer sheet is also provided so that you can quickly check response and identify any mistakes made by the student(s).
A great activity to challenge students - who is quickest; to assess students and highlight misconceptions.
Loop cards include questions about:
Heat transfers, conduction, convection, radiation, emitters, absorbers, specific heat capacity, density
This task is designed around the fact that students need to "learn" the key information. This therefore is given and the students need to learn it. They can make notes in the space inside, but by the end of the task can only make notes on a postcard/post-it.
This is based around study skills and making revision notes - you don't have to copy out the book.
Topics include: conduction, convection, radiation, heat transfers, waves, sound, reflection, refraction, energy, energy resources, solar, power station, national grid, transformers, power, electricity and more.
The idea works that students should know the core building blocks around the edge of the page.
The task therefore is to work inwards and begin to summarise these key points in the middle, only focusing on the things they have forgotten.
The final task is to get this all on to a postcard - their revision notes to take away! This makes it all manageable for the student.
This is one topic only and the full unit can be downloaded as a complete file.

Progress monitoring booklets for Additional Science - Physics P2
A list of the various objectives for each of the topics in the Additional Science Unit.
Students can show progress against what they know about a topic at the start and then at the end of a unit. This can then be used to produce a personalised revision programme for the student.
Alternative way of being used, is to print on stickers and use in books.
The idea works that students should know the foundation building blocks around the edge of the page.

This is one topic only and the full unit can be downloaded as a complete file.
The loop cards can be used as tool for assessment of prior learning, progress and revision. Students need to match the question on one card with the answer on another card, like dominoes.
The answer sheet is given at the end of the document.
This is good to do a pace and challenge activity.

This booklet supports a series of lesson and is designed for Entry Level/SEND students to allow them to access the key elements of science. If used in a mixed ability class, these booklets allow students to keep pace with the rest of the class whilst personalising the challenge and support they require.
The booklet is part of a series of booklets with a variety of tasks including matching keywords and definition, scaffolding, extended answers, research and a lot of practical work with matching results tables/graphs.
Some of the diagrams have had to be removed for copyright.

These Bread and Butter sheets are designed to ensure that students continue to focus on the core aspects and skills within the Additional Science unit for Physics. Students complete a sheet each lesson for 15+ lessons. They can then be repeated.
Each sheet is numbered with answer sheet provided too.
Topics covered include: keywords, speed, speed graphs, half-life, calculations, symbols, definitions, units, nuclear physics, electricity,
