The Science of Seeing Colours Assembly/ Starter

This is my favourite optical illusion and it’s not well known. Could be used as an interactive starter in Physics, Biology or Art. I have used this several times for Science Week assemblies - a hall full of students audibly stunned at how their own eyes work. Strongly recommended.

How to use your Brain - making your memory work for revision

Students learn a visual technique to remembering lists of words. Testing before and after learning the technique will reveal a massive improvement. The brain is much better at remembering images than words alone - examples of applying this to academic subject matter are given. The presentation links to a video clip of a world memory champion describing his technique. This resource would be excellent for a whole year group activity or PSHE lesson.
