I've included some photos of lab displays I've put up over the years, hopefully they will help anyone who's looking for a bit of inspiration. I'm also toying around with the idea of writing a book on classroom displays. If anyone can make any suggestions on what to include that would be useful I would be appreciative.

Just a quick little activity to help get KS4 students thinking. All you have to do to use it is ask the students to read the information card then working in pairs, roll a dice to which question they ask each other based on the the text they have read. You can use questioning after to assess students progress.
Give it a go, I still cant believe how well it has worked for me
