Earth and Space True or False

This is a ‘True or False’ revision lesson for Y5 science Earth and Space. It is differentiated by outcome so students can work through as many as they can.

• Students highlight true statements green.
• highlight false statements in pink.
• They then have to correct the false statements, explaining how they know they’re not true or correcting the information.

My students found this incredibly useful coming to the end of their Earth and Space topic. They were allowed to work in small mixed ability groups and it addressed a lot of misconceptions.

Before allowing the children to ‘correct’ false statements, I suggest talking through whether the statements are true or false. Some of them are deliberately very challenging and the students need to look carefully at the wording of the statement.

A tricky problem solving lesson that all the children enjoy and are actively engaged in.
