Learning Grids for GCSE AQA Science

A fantastic way to support weaker learners!

Students read their textbooks/notes to complete a grid of questions in exact specification order.

Exemplar completed grids for easy marking and provide revision notes with full specification coverage!

The structured and active learning method helps students understand the key points and build confidence.

Brilliant for students who learn best by doing. Dramatically improves learning for learners in need of additional support; highly motivating.

It helps my students get organised with revision

  • Requires minimal teacher planning and input – great for cover lessons
  • An easy-to-set, valuable homework option
  • Pinpoint topic strengths and weaknesses for targeted support
  • Includes testing of key skills for practicals and Maths calculations

Each Learning Grid includes:

  • Quick-testing questions
  • Labelling questions
  • Missing information / Matching key terms
  • Explain-a-process / Longer written questions
  • Applied-knowledge and/or Maths questions
  • Experiment Time / Required Practicals questions
  • Quick Quiz
Cross-referenced to approved textbooks for the spec:
  • AQA GCSE Biology, 3rd edition (Oxford, 2016)
  • AQA Chemistry (Third Edition) (Oxford, 2016)
  • AQA Physics Student Book (Oxford, 2016)
  • AQA GCSE (9–1) Biology (Hodder, 2016)
  • AQA GCSE (9-1) Chemistry (Hodder, 2016)
  • AQA GCSE (9-1) Physics Student Book (Hodder, 2016)
  • AQA Science Biology (Nelson Thornes, 2016)

These save huge amounts of time, match the specification perfectly and students really like the accessibility of these

What do teachers say about this resource? (7810)

This resource is an excellent match for the AQA GCSE and A Level specifications. It covers questions for each specification point, and the labeling of these points allows teachers to use it even if they teach a different exam specification with the help of conversion tables. The highlighting of Higher tier content at the start of each question is beneficial. The resource offers a good variety of question types, including multiple choice, blank fill, standard questions, and working in science practical questions. The inclusion of specific sections assessing the required practicals is a valuable feature that makes it a comprehensive and versatile document for reviewing all aspects of the course.
The variety of question types promotes critical thinking and engagement with the content.
This resource is highly valuable as it aligns perfectly with the AQA GCSE and A Level specifications. It covers all the necessary content, offers a variety of question types, and includes specific sections for assessing the required practicals. It would be worth purchasing to provide comprehensive review tasks and ensure students are well-prepared for the exams.

Really high quality resource. Good detail and link across to specification points. No waffle. It is clear and detailed, and student friendly. Very ‘fit for purpose’ and saves us a large amount of time and money. It’s excellent.

S Jones, Teacher & Customer

Fantastic - really concise, and excellent practice of application for students.

Answers to hand is perfect, and students really like the opportunity to quickly check their understanding and progress.

These save huge amounts of time, match the specification perfectly and students really like the accessibility of these.

It would be greatly appreciated by our many EAL and SEN students.

It covers the content in a logical order and goes into sufficient detail for the kind of student who would be most likely to use it.

A Shaw, Teacher and Peer Reviewer

Matches the plans for the new spec very well.

I also liked the range of maths questions and recall of units etc

A well written resource that covers the content well.

This would work well as an independent study resource for more able students or a guide to use with a tutor or in a study group.
