This Scientific Method BINGO game provides students with an opportunity to learn more about scientific method and science related vocabulary. The print-ready pdf file includes 30 unique Bingo game boards and 30 calling cards. The game can be played with as few as two people or with an entire class. The bingo calling cards come in two sizes. The larger version all have a definition of the vocabulary word that is being called. The “caller” draws a calling card and reads the clues aloud and the players must find the matching definition on their game board. The calling cards by themselves also make an engaging learning resource. Print two copies, and you are set to play a memory game****. Best if the game is printed in color on cardstock and then laminated for longevity! What is included in this resource: -30 unique Bingo game boards (5x5 grid) on FOUR different backgrounds. -30 (large) calling cards (with vocabulary and definitions, which can be read aloud as answer clues) -30 (small) calling cards (with images and vocabulary words) -Printable bingo markers (6 different options included) -1 Calling sheet (can be used to track calling cards selected during the game) -Teacher directions (incl. how to play the game and printing directions) List of SCIENTIFIC METHOD Vocabulary Words Included in the Bingo Game: Analysis, Chart/Graph, Conclusion, Constant, Controlled Group, Data Dependent Variable, Evidence, Experiment, Experimental Group, Hypothesis, Independent Variable, Inference, Measurement, Observation, Pattern, Prediction, Procedure, Purpose, Qualitative Data, Quantitative Data, Question, Repeated Trials, Research, Scientific Method, Scientific Report, Theory, Valid, and Variable.

Set of 88 flashcards covering scientific methodology/general practical skills. Suitable for all exam boards. Covers topics such as: Different types of variable Accuracy / precision / repeatability etc Uncertainty Range / standard deviation Choice of statistical test Choice of graph Basic practical skills such as scientific drawing rules, eye piece graticule calibration etc There is some ambiguity when it comes to mark schemes on questions such as accuracy/precision - with different exam boards sometimes having slightly different answers. I have tried to include the most appropriate answer on the flashcards. This download is the same as the Module 1 OCR A-level Biology flashcards.

I use this working scientifically resource as part of the AQA GCSE Chemistry course to help students identify independent, dependent, and control variables for different scientific investigations. The resource has 21 scientific scenarios where the students have to deduce the different variables. This is an excellent chance to bring literacy into a lesson too. The resource contains: 1 x Information sheet 1 x Question sheet 1 x Answer sheet

In this document, you will find potential questions and answers for the Scientific Article for question 8 for Biology IAL (International Advanced Level) WBI15/01.

This five part resource explores social science methodologies and their application in social science research: 1. What is social science research? 2. What makes good research? 3. Case study. The family: Continuity and change 4. Doing research ethically 5. Questions, references and further reading

Presentation covering most of the main ideas behind planning and analysing practical science. Includes some activities to help students understand why we use control variables to ensure valid results. I'd suggest this is either broken up to cover multiple lessons, or just segments used as and when they are needed to suplemment the lesson.

A customisable powerpoint on scientific literacy across KS3 and KS4. This powerpoint incorporates spelling activities, short story writing and pronunciation.
