Big ideas of science
Key vocabulary
Relevant KS2 prior knowledge
How the knowledge links to the KS3 national curriculum
How the knowledge links to the KS4 national curriculum (AQA)
Cross curriculum links (e.g. to Maths, Geography, or within Science)
How the knowledge links to the Working scientifically statments
Suggested literacy strategies for each lesson
Detailed lesson plans including learning outcomes, & key questions
For each lesson, the common misconceptions that can arise
These resources are meant to be used alongside a well resourced curriculum. The resources contain detailed plans in MS word format which can be edited to suit your own curriculum. This resource is downloadable as a zip file containing SoW documents for the 26 topics taught at KS3 (e.g. cells, movement, respiration, photosynthesis, acids & alkalis, periodic table, waves, magnetism and many more. FYI: It does not contain actual lesson Powerpoints or worksheets, it is a editable KS3 SoW document.
Knowledge organisers for the new AQA GCSE 2016 Physics syllabus. Included are knowledge organisers which cover the whole content of the GCSE Physics paper 1 exam for** both trilogy (combined) and triple (separate science) syllabuses**. Each knowledge organiser has been split into sections following closely the AQA specification. Topics covered are: P1 Conservation and dissipation of energy, P2 Energy transfer by heating, P3 Energy resources, P4 Electric circuits, P5 electricity in the home, P6 Molecules and matter and P7 Radioactivity. The triple content within these chapters (like Gas pressure, temperature, infra red radiation, nuclear radiation, medicine, fission and fusion are also covered and colour coded so students know which content is relevant. Key tier 3 vocabulary has also been clearly defined as a separate section in each knowledge organiser. Any graphs and equations that they need to know included.
A knowledge organiser on the A-level chemistry practical “preparation of aspirin" from 2-hydroxybenzoic acid and ethanoic anhydride using a phosphoric acid catalyst. The knowledge organiser includes the method and apparatus diagrams and goes into more depth about filtration under reduced pressure, recrystallisation and reflux. I use it in my lessons to go through the procedure in greater depth and then students refer to this when practising questions.
A set of revision structure strips covering all of the new 2016 AQA GCSE Chemistry trilogy (combined) syllabus for papers 1 & 2. Structure strips are a simple but effective way that students can revise the large amount of knowledge in the new syllabus. There is complete coverage of the knowledge for each topic. The structure strips stick into the margins of an exercise book and students write the answer to each question. 310 questions on the topics: Atomic structure, periodic table, structure and bonding, chemical changes, electrolysis and energy changes, Rates and equilibrium, Crude oil and fuels, chemical analysis, The Earth’s atmosphere and The Earth’s resources. Answers to every question provided.
A resource applicable for the current AQA A-Level Chemistry specification on TOF Mass spec calculations. The questions test students on how to calculate velocity, distance of flight tube, time taken and atomic mass. Answers are included to every question including a hand-written extended answer sheet showing each step of the calculations to assist students who get stuck. The resource usually takes about 60 – 90 mins for students to complete depending on their ability.
