A fun quiz that should take a full lesson. This is a very EASY TO ADMINISTER quiz. Round 5 is a music round so speakers are needed. There is an option to project images on the board for round 6 or you can print them off prior to the lesson. The rounds are as follows: Round 1: Not-so-festive facts Round 2: Pairing up Christmas cheer with festive fears! Round 3: Tinsel tackles Round 4: Ho-Ho-How much do you know about Christmas? Round 5: Sleighing the Beats Round 6: Seasonal Snapshots There is an answer sheet for teachers and an optional question sheet for students as well as a PowerPoint which has all the questions. Let me know if you like it ;)

This PowerPoint deals with ecosystems and global warming (ecosystems of the world, rain-forests in detail, animal adaptations, the tundra in detail, animals and plants of the tundra, people of the tundra, the tundra under threat, global warming, how are we contributing to global warming etc.). There are 100 slides with lots of imagery.

I have created a board game to teach (or revise) the Atlantic Slave Trade Triangle to KS3 students. It is a team game and works best with four teams playing at any given time. It should take no longer than 45 to 50 minutes. It works similar to that of Monopoly (you start at the beginning and make your way around to the end to see who has the most money at the end). It is an extremely interactive game and caters for all types of learners. PLEASE REVIEW! NOTE: When printing the question cards, wild cards and chieftain cards make sure to flip pages on short edge so that the cards match up either side. Step 1: Get your students to make a slave ship for homework - 2D or 3D. Step 2: You can use the A4 game attachment to make the game very big that it will take up an entire classroom, consisting of a square on each table (each side of the square would be 7 tables long - see image) OR You can use the game that has all squares shrunk to fit on an A4 page - attachment titled The Slave Trade Triangle Game. Step 3: Break your class into 4 teams or you can decide to have two students play head to head. Step 4: Each player must have a Slave Ship which will represent their player piece. Step 5. All the ships start at the beginning and role the dice to see how many moves they make. Each player must stop at every square that has a star. Star 1: Where students decide what manufactured goods to bring. Each team gets ten coins at the start of the game. They must use these coins to buy manufactured goods (each manufactured good is worth 1 coin) Star 2: This is where the students pick a random chieftain (out of 4) and see how many of their manufactured goods the chieftain is interested in. For every manufactured good they have that the chieftain wants they get a slave. Star 3: This is where the students trade their slaves for manufactured goods. Two crates of manufactured goods is worth 3 coins. Step 6: The first team/person who completes the journey gets a bonus two points. Step 7: Once every player has reached the end line all the tallies are counted up to see who had the most successful trip. If the player/team rolls a 3, 5 or 6 they must pick a WILD CARD and follow the instructions. If the player/team lands on a question mark they must answer the question correctly or they will have to skip their next go. The teacher of the class can act as the Iron Bank who keeps records of everything that happens throughout the game and makes sure nobody is cheating!

This resource should take approximately 4 - 7 lessons. It includes a test which is imperative as students regularly think they understand the topic until they do a simple test. I have also attached an answer sheet to the test. It is an explanation of the four layers of the Earth, convection currents, plate tectonics; different plate movements and the land-forms they form including convergent, divergent and conservative plate boundaries as well as hot spots. Included in this resource are handouts for the students to stick into their books as a visual representation of what is being explained as it really helps the students to consolidate their learning. There are also question cards for this topic in the form of a PowerPoint, all you do is make sure the size is standard (4:3), go to print, print both sides on short edge and print with card if possible. This is an excellent resource and a great way to get the students to quiz each other at the end of any lesson. It is something the students will look forward to at the end of the class and can take between 10 to 20 minutes to complete.

This PowerPoint will take two classes to complete. It will get your students interested in Britain during the 1800's and in the changes that were happening in Britain before the Industrial Revolution. The PowerPoint covers 11 reasons for the population increase in Britain, all of which can be elaborated on in class to give the students a chance to take independent notes on each reason. The PowerPoint includes homework that the students must complete in order to consolidate their learning. At the end of the PowerPoint the students are shown several images (some of which are shown in the cover image for this resource), all of which will indicate one of the reasons for the population increase and they can work in teams to see who can guess the reason first. This resource allows students to do most of the work and requires minimum effort from the teacher. Students get involved no matter how weak or strong their capabilities are and it sets a good standard for the beginning of this topic.

This PowerPoint presentation is for year 8/9 students on the Atlantic Slave trade between Europe (primarily Britain), Africa and the Americas. It should take between 2-4 classes to complete, depending on how much time individual teachers decide to allocate to each part. As a hook the students are asked to study four images all of which are related to slavery. The students are asked to break up into pairs to discuss what is going on in each image. This engages the students and gets them ready to learn about a very interesting historical period. Further expansion on this is at the teachers discretion. The students then learn the definitions of some key terms such as trade, slave, slave trade etc. The students are then asked to study the images on the next three slides showing them where particular cash crops were typically grown. Further expansion on this is at the teachers discretion. The students are then introduced to the Atlantic slave trade or the slave trade triangle. This is done through a comic strip as well as a map showing exactly what the slave trade triangle was and how it worked. The homework assigned to this PowerPoint is always enjoyed by students. They have to create a poster (or comic strip) using as little text as possible to explain what the slave trade triangle was.

Question cards for slavery and the beginnings of the British Empire(what kind of work did slaves do on plantations, abolishing the slave trade and who were involved, how Britain started an empire). This resource allows students to revise and even teach themselves. When they have the answer to help their colleague their levels of retention are much higher than just reading through notes. It is a very good way to allow the students revise by themselves and involves very little teacher involvement. Very important: When printing this resource, in order for it to work you need to: 1) Go to Print. 2) Print on both sides and flip on short edge. If you do not follow the above steps the answers will not appear on the flip side of the questions.

This PowerPoint covers the beginning of the slave trade, the voyage to Africa, the middle passage, the selling of slaves in the Americas, and the voyage back to Britain.

This is a board game created for teaching both KS3 (Year 9) and KS4 History, specifically: Development of Dictatorship - Germany 1918-1945. The Board game should be printed out in A3, laminated for durability so that it can be used again. It works on a monopoly style structure where the students start at the beginning and make their way to the end answering questions from each section (or period of the development of dictatorship). This resource works best as a revision tool as most of the questions are based on the iGCSE Edexcel content. However, it can be used as a progression tool to show the students the steps Hitler took to become a dictator. There are also wild cards which the students have to take every time they roll an odd number. This makes the game more enjoyable. When printing off the question cards and the wild cards you must ‘flip pages on short edge’ so that they match up. There are 172 question cards to go with this game which can be used on their own for simple revision purposes. Please review!

Question cards for plate tectonic topic (diverging, converging, conservative plate boundaries, earthquakes, tsunamis volcanoes etc.). This resource allows students to revise and even teach themselves. When they have the answer to help their colleague their levels of retention are much higher than just reading through notes. It is a very good way to allow the students revise by themselves and involves very little teacher involvement. Very important: When printing this resource, in order for it to work you need to: 1) Go to Print. 2) Print on both sides and flip on short edge. If you do not follow the above steps the answers will not appear on the flip side of the questions.

This PowerPoint covers all the main topics that happened in Germany from the signing of the Treaty of Versailles to the Wall Street Crash.
