A literacy exercise on the development of the earths atmosphere, originally designed as a cover activity.

There is a work book and an answer sheet in the resource. Pupils can be guided through the work book although more able pupils will be able to use it as an independent study booklet. I have included answers as colleagues found them helpful. Reviews and constructive criticism welcome

The AQA unit P2 syllabus turned into a series of questions and answers. Great for knowledge acquisition. The format is a table with two columns, one Questions, the other Answers. Students fold the paper in half and ask themselves the question, then turn over for the answer. Great for revision in pairs or with a parent, even if they don't know the physics, because the answers are already there. Great as a last minute revision check list.
