The Science Behind It
This resource applies key principles from cognitive science to make learning stick:
• Retrieval practice: pupils actively recall knowledge to strengthen long-term memory.
• Spaced and interleaved learning: quizzes revisit key ideas over time to improve retention and understanding.
• Low-stakes testing: builds confidence, reduces anxiety, and helps identify gaps in knowledge early.
• Repetition and variety: question types rotate across the unit to encourage deep learning and flexible thinking.

Ideal For:
• AQA GCSE Religious Studies (Paper 1: Christianity Beliefs and Teachings)
• Year 10 and 11 lessons, revision, or homework
• Starter or “Learn Now” activities
• Retrieval and recall practice throughout the course
• Teacher assessment and AFL tasks
