A huge range of questions with something to cater for every student’s tastes - 10 rounds covering a wide variety of fun and amusing subjects and topics, all linked to science. It’s not easy - but there are rounds for everyone, so all students will feel involved.
There are 100 questions in all - the images shown are a preview of just a few from each round. Everything is editable with answers revealed at the end of each round:
Round 1: Science in film, TV and visual media
From YouTubers to TikTok to film-flops and TV Trivia - all with a link to science.

A round for the gamers - so long as they know their science
Round 10: Random and Ready Riddles
Silly cereal-box trivia, a bit of English word-play, maths brain teasers and general knowledge thrown in for good measure.
The quiz is easy to use, interactive and editable. It’s designed for secondary students. You could tweak it for upper KS2 if you wished - but it is challenging.
I really hope you enjoy this, I enjoyed making it and tried to make it funny so teachers would enjoy using it too. Please note, the preview images have been uploaded so you can see what the resource contains. The PowerPoint is in the folder called ‘This is the Quiz’.
