Teachers can then collect this in and use it to prepare revision or the next lesson.

A revision activity that encourages students to break down the information they have learnt either on a topic or in a lesson. This asks students to consider the most important information and what the main content is. This can also help them create revision notes, or can be used as a starter or plenary I have also uploaded a whole bank of stretch and challenge activities like this that can be used in a variety of ways

An activity that makes students condense their notes into ever smaller boxes to prepare them for revision. I then ask them to write the smallest box onto flash cards with a reference to the overall sheet so they can check back on more notes if they are stuck I have also uploaded a whole bank of stretch and challenge activities like this that can be used in a variety of ways

A collection of activities that make students consider and analyse information they have learnt and use it in new ways.

This is a complete activity for testing Matching Hypothesis. It is a chance for students to take the lead on some actual psychological research and better understand the ideas behind matching hypothesis. In groups students must choose and experimenter. They ask everyone else to rate the attractiveness of the photos on the 'Photo Rating Survey' and record this in the table on the 'Rating Tables' sheet. A score of 1-10 should be agreed in the group. Using simply maths of averages the experimenter then calculates if the 'real couples' are more or less closely rated on attractiveness than the 'posed couples'. The calculation is explained at the end of the 'Rating Tables' sheet.

This is a different activity for a revision lesson of Sociology and Families. Print each set of cards on a different colour and cut them up. Students then take a 'View Point Card' and must explain, from this view point, what they think of their selected 'What is your opinion of' card. If they get it right they win the pair, if not they have to choose a different 'What is your opinion of' card. This could also be played as role play, or to help students structure essays. There are blank cards on each set where students can add any topics they also feel important
