Plant Structure Activity

(0)
This activity, which is part of the life cycles unit, consists of 2 cootie catchers (or fortune tellers) for learning or revising plant structures. The children must try to figure out which part of the flower is being described. It’s a great way to have students review their knowledge of different plant parts and not even realise that they’re learning! They’ll be engaged and excited with this addictive activity (as I am sure you will be too!). This pack contains two Cootie Catchers, each with a second copy included if you would like your students to write their own definitions for each plant part themselves. There are visuals included to meet different learning styles. Vocabulary included: - petal - pollen - stem - roots - seed - fruit - leaf - plant - stamen - stigma - sepal - ovary - style - anther Folding and playing directions are also included.

Electricity: I Have, Who Has? Game Cards Activity

(0)
Get every student in you class fully engaged with this fun card game. This ‘I Have, Who Has?’ game is a fantastic way to review the key terms and symbols for your electricity unit. I have used it very successfully as a quick starter activity to refresh their minds! This pack includes 28 game cards so should be plenty for a whole class, however children can double up or have two cards depending on your class size. Vocabulary Included: - conductor - circuit - insulator - symbol - electricity - component - voltage - amps - battery - wire - switch - series circuit - parallel circuit - circuit diagram - fuse - voltmeter - current Symbols Included: - bulb - open switch - battery - wire - motor - buzzer - closed switch - voltmeter - resistor - fuse - ammeter How to play: Distribute the cards to your students. Some students may get more than one card. Select a student to begin by reading their card aloud. (example: I have the bulb symbol. Who has who has the symbol for a buzzer?) The student who has the card with the correct answer to the previous student’s “Who Has...” question reads their card aloud. And so on. Students must listen for their turn and try not to break the chain. When the chain circles around to the first student, the game is over. If playing individually or in small groups, these cards can also be used as dominoes. If you like this resource please check out my Electricity Circuit Building Activity for a fun and practical way to teach your students about circuits. ------------------------
