This resource has been designed as a puzzle for students to recap units in physics and is ideal for a group or individual task.
Print one sheet per A4 page (one sided) and cut out the squares. Shuffle the squares and have students match the sides of the squares until all 15 cards have been used. There is more than one way to complete this puzzle.
High ability students should be able to use all 15 cards.
For lower ability students, remove the 2 end columns indicated on the sheet so that they complete the puzzle with 9 cards.

Plus one CARD SORT/DOMINOES:
Circuit Components
This download includes 2 card sort activities to allow for differentiation. These are both domino style activities where students will make a chain of cards with their answer from the previous card leading directly onto their next question.
The first activity is more suited for higher ability students as students are required to match their component to their description/function rather than the name of the component.
The second card sort is more suited for lower ability students as this one simply includes the names of the components and their symbols.
Plus 2 POINTS PURSUIT:

SAVE THE SNOWMAN is a gamefied revision strategy to be used either in small teams or as a whole class!
It works exactly like battleships. Each team secretly draws their snowmen onto their record sheet and then teams take it in turns to launch firey snowballs at the other teams coordinates! However, to throw a snowball, they must first correctly answer a question, hidden behind the presents! If you’re lucky, there might even be a candy cane hidden behind the present - a free shot! Teams win by ‘melting’ all the other teams snowballs (or by melting the highest proportion of the other teams snowballs by the end of the lesson). The powerpoint is interactive with pre-made hyperlinks, all you have to do is change the questions hidden behind the presents! You can easily increase the difficulty to suit your class ability.
These are worksheets for Edexcel iGCSE Physics.
Specifically looking at the topic Forces and Motion.
For only £3.50 you will receive worksheets, which include:

POINTS PURSUIT is a gamified revision strategy that uses a points system to rank task difficulty and motivate students!
Questions start off as low demand at the top and then progressively increase in difficulty as students move down the sheet – but that doesn’t mean you have to start at the top! Many students start at the bottom to gain the most points and then work their way up the sheet as an effective strategy also!
Here’s some ways you can utilise this resource:
Assess ‘missed’ knowledge – set a timer (10 minutes should be enough but change as you see fit) and complete as many tasks as possible without using any revision materials, notes or textbooks (or Google!). After you have finished, switch to a different coloured pen and then go through the tasks again with additional materials to support you. By now, every task should have been completed. Now, use my answer sheets to mark your work in a third colour. This will help identify any gaps in knowledge by looking for where the second and third pens were used most!
Award points for attempted tasks AND tasks which have been ‘marked’ to encourage thorough learning
Use as a before and after! Try this task before you learn any new content on the topic and then again when you have finished studying. This is great to highlight how much information you have learned as it too often so easy to forget how much your brain is trying to take in!
