3 quizzes with 16 questions (including a tie breaker) on general knowledge questions. Each quiz includes all answers at the end and is suitable for students to do in teams or individually. Each quiz should take about 20 minutes to complete and mark, so all three would take an hour. I have used them as house quizzes, hence the title on each one!

Alphabet Quiz x 2

2 quizzes with 16 questions (including a tie breaker) where each answer begins with a letter of the alphabet - there is one question for each letter (and then some spares at the end!). Each quiz includes all answers at the end and is suitable for students to do in teams or individually. Each quiz should take about 20 minutes to complete and mark, so both would take about 40 minutes. I have used them as house quizzes, hence the title on each one!

NEW EDEXCEL 9-1 Physics Topic 2 - Forces and Motion FULL TOPIC

NEW EDEXCEL 9-1 Physics Topic 2 - Forces and Motion FULL TOPIC

(2)
Full unit of work covering both Higher and foundation as well as the separate sciences for the new GCSE physics course for Edexcel (9-1). Mentioned worksheets or activities are included, as well as a specification for technicians to help with equipment orders and requisitions. Where possible, all lessons are fully resources and differentiated. I have used these lessons with a top set triple award class, and a bottom set combined group. Test assessments are includes, but they are just a mix of the questions given by Pearson, so I cannot claim ownership of these. They have been separated into sections to give a PLC for each student for revision purposes.
Summer 2023 Science Murder Mystery.

Summer 2023 Science Murder Mystery.

(0)
NEW FOR SUMMER 2023! After the Santa and Easter murder mysteries were such a success, I thought I would create a summer one for use on those last few days in the summer term to go alongside the quizzes or other activities you might do every year. This mystery follows the murder of Mr. Rossi who was (unfortunately) still in his ice cream van when someone melted it! There are 20 suspects and 5 clues for teams to solve before gaining access to the final clue, which will allow them to start eliminating suspects. The clues rely on team work to complete them well within an hour, and require problem solving skills as well. Some clues are (loosely) linked to science; there is a classification key and a speed calculation, but the main aspect is team work and problem solving. Students will need the case brief printed, and some of the slides in the PowerPoint to complete this. The slides needed are labeled in the notes section. There is a leader board so you are able to display the progress of each team. I allow teams to lock in an answer whenever they want, but I won’t tell them if they’re right until the end. They can work on the clues in any order but MUST have completed all 5 before accessing final clues. all answers are provided in the PowerPoint. Enjoy

Free resource made up of bits and bobs with free licences. I do not take credit for some of the content. Simply add in your chosen year paper and mark scheme. You can choose a tier and only have one. Otherwise, it is a bit of a tree!
Platinum 20 - Electrons, protons and neutrons atomic structure game!

Platinum 20 - Electrons, protons and neutrons atomic structure game!

(8)
My year 9s and my year 11s love this challenge. The idea behind it is that the pupils will really get to grips with the protons, neutrons and electrons of each element so they can correctly answer questions about ions, bonding and electronic configuration. This is coming in earlier in the new Edexcel specification! I give pupils 3 minutes for this activity. If it cannot be done in that time, they haven't grasped it yet! They do it as a starter or a plenary, and all begin at the same time. It works well as a mini test where they race against each other (or even you) to be the first one to finish with them all correct. They can even mark each others! When they finish one challenge (95% correct or more) they move on to the next one. I use school rewards for when they advance and I have also included a certificate that I have given to the ones who complete all 3. This can obviously be modified to reflect you and your class. Don't forget to leave a review!
