You cannot write notes on everything there is too much content. Stick with one or two sources, it is overwhelming how much stuff is available
Consider downloading and using the AQA specifications, watch videos if you need to
Use the materials given to you by your teacher and make sure you are asking for help
The most important thing is to test your recall, this means getting someone to test you on flash cards or knowledge organisers (see files to right) , doing quizzes etc.
PAST PAPER QUESTIONS as many as possible but you must use markschemes and be your own critic.
You have access to many resources for revision. Please make sure that you are aware of the following, if there are any login issues, or you have any questions about science revision please contact your science teacher:

Required practicals: We have an app called Focus on available on ipads that allows students to refresh their understanding of the experimental work that they must be familiar with by doing a virtual version of the experiments.There is a also a useful set of video resources collated in the following google classrooms so that students can refresh their memory regarding these experiments. Students should join the appropriate google classroom with the following code.
