The Atomic Bomb
This is a 22 slide power point which will take about 3 hours to complete.
It focuses on the questions surrounding the dropping of the atomic bomb. It contains a range of activities; sources and video clips with an extended assessment task at the end.
This answers the questions:
How does an atomic bomb work
What were the positives and negatives with regards to dropping the bomb
Why did the USA drop it?
I made this as part of a key stage 3 scheme of learning especially for students who are not continuing with history at GCSE so that they understand one of the most significant events of the twentieth century. This could also be used for the Superpower relations unit at GCSE.

END OF TERM QUIZZES AND WORDSEARCHES FOR YEAR 7
This resource contains 3 quizzes and word searches on Year 7 topics.
The students have to find the words by filling in the gaps using their historical knowledge, and then locate them on the grid. The resource contains 3 quizzes/word searches:
The Norman Invasion
The Black Death
What is History
There are also 3 differentiated searches for lower prior attaining students where the letter at the beginning of each word is highlighted in the grid so that this becomes more of a heads and tails activity.
I have found using these useful revision/extension/remote learning resources.
