A powerpoint for the N-cycle including a worksheet and clues.
The worksheet is a diagram of the N-cycle with the names of the processes on it, but descriptions left blank, the descriptions are muddled up on the clues sheet. I cut up the clues and hid them around the classroom for pupils to find and fill in the gaps.
Form breaks down each section and helps students to peer assess another's work. Huge time saver!
Each section has tick boxes to help students keep track of marks and also allows you to quickly assess how each students has performed in each area.
Also useful for modelling or using as a teacher marking criteria.
Easy to edit/adjust for specific practicals/experiments. The experiment covered here is reacting limestone with hydrochloric acid.
My specific template is aimed at the IB MYP however it applies to all KS3 science curricula.
