I have attempted to highlight the misconceptions and mixed concepts the students exhibit when answering exam questions. Based on AQA, but would work for other boards suggested uses: Use as a starter: students to select which they think is the best answer (quick starter), for a longer task, they are then to decide why the other answers are less than perfect This could be extended to take a whole lesson, if you use a number or all of the questions in the powerpoint and ask the students to come up with their own perfect answers, either in class or for homework; or 4 whole lessons, if you use the questions as a starter, go through the concepts and re-visit at the end of the lesson to see if the students have changed their minds. marking points and commentary on student answers are included.

Colour coded for differentiation (red for lower ability; blue for middle ability and green for higher ability) so that you can select which students do which tasks, with opportunity to progress for 'red' and 'blue' students. Answers included for your convenience.
