Science Revision Labyrinth

Science Revision Labyrinth

(2)
This is an idea for an activity that I have used with my Y11 students to revise with. Basically you need to build a labyrinth for students to work their way through with revision questions and activities as they make their way round it. As students try and get through you can intercept them with goblins and make them answer 6 mark questions. Most of the activities and questions are included in the power point and there are lots of question cards on TES that you can use. This probably isn't the best description but as we're all revising at the moment I hope it helps spice things up. Thanks for looking
Revision Battle Ships Template

Revision Battle Ships Template

(1)
It's pretty straight forward, I remember loving playing battle ships and got inspired. It was one of the greatest moments of my teaching carrier seeing a class of Y11s playing battle ships. How it works is almost self explanatory. Fill the information section in with what ever you want and then fill out the question grid with questions on the information. I hope anyone who has a go has as much fun as I have
Wall to Science  GCSE Exam Success

Wall to Science GCSE Exam Success

(1)
This has been something that I've tried with my Y11 students with some success. It is designed to give students something small to do every day. By providing an example for each piece students will see what they need to and you can confidently say that each piece only takes 15 mins or less. I've also included the sheet that I've given to my Y11's going through everything they need to do in the 6 weeks leading up to the exams. I hope that you find this helpful Follow me @teacherchalky1

AQA GCSE P3 Physics Revision Activities

(1)
This originally was a resource designed to be used over 3 lessons to prepare students to take the 2015 P3 exam as a mock. The lessons are based around a series of activities designed to engage students rather than reteaching them the content. For each activity there is a short tick list of what students need to know to help them identify where they still need to revise. The activities include: X-ray & ultra sound battle ships Electromagnetic induction micro-teaching The eye snakes & ladders CT scanner question matrix Refractive index card sort Pendulum data analysis activity Hydraulic question race Transformers 7 monkey activity Thanks for looking

GCSE Physics National Grid Literacy Starter Game

Just a quick little activity to help get KS4 students thinking. All you have to do to use it is ask the students to read the information card then working in pairs, roll a dice to which question they ask each other based on the the text they have read. You can use questioning after to assess students progress. Give it a go, I still cant believe how well it has worked for me Follow me @teacherchalky1
