Excellent for review lessons, cover lessons or as formative assessement, to see what they remember from previous years. Contains 30 randomised cards, ready to print out for a fun game of vocabulary bingo. Students can work individually, or in pairs to cross out terms as you pull them out of a jar (teacher sheet provided). When a card has a straight line of called out terms, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally, then the participant/s calls out “Bingo”. First participant/s to have an accurate filled out score card with a straight line is the winner. As a follow up, students can take the key vocabulary used in the bingo and write out definitions in their books for later use as a reference guide for upcoming lessons. Comes as a pdf file, ready to print. Liked this one? Check out the others! Copyright © 2022 The Efficient Science Teacher All rights reserved by author.

Practical 23 in the History in STEM practical series. This practical, “Round the World” is a chance for the studens to build a model solar system that they can use to make mathematical calculations with. Start with a history of how the current heliocentric model was developed, before having the students use simple tools and materials (pencils, glue, scissors, cardboard boxes and rubber bands), to build a moving model of Earth, Venus and Mercury around the Sun. Then, have the students use the model to calculate ratios of year length, before finally analysing the models strength and weaknesses, with a research task to compare the year length calculated for Mercury and Venus, with that of the accepted values by the broader scientific community. This combines history, physics and mathematics and art all in one lesson. Includes diagrams and tips for the teacher for alternative ways to approach the task depending on time and skill level of the students. Also includes a print out template for the students to glue to the cardboard for easy cutting and for decoration of the model. More about the History in STEM practical Series This series is designed to bring quality cross-curricula material to STEM subjects, that help students to explore and discover phenomena normally taught, while getting a glimpse into the history of its development. In addition, a number of the practicals give the students the opportunity to play “Mythbusters”, looking at a number of different methods and having to reason why one or the other was the more likely or useful method. From Ancient Greece to Vikings, China to the Golden age of the Muslim empire and beyond to India, the series takes a look at some of the most important STEM achievements throughout history. There is a plan for 40 of these such practicals in this series, so, if you liked this one, consider looking at some of the others, or check out some of the bundles available.

Have your students explore scientists throughout history with this fun, easy activity. Each of the 12 scientists in this bundle accomplished great things that helped to make the world what it is today. Each scientist has a coloured, ready to go version and a colourless version for your students to colour in. Perfect for a cover lesson or an introduction to a topic. Note: It is best to print these on a thicker card, rather than paper, to help the individual pieces stand up better. Make sure the students know how to use scissors before they begin, to prevent injury. The 12 figures in this pack include: Physics: Albert Einstein - Famous for his theories on relatively. Marie Curie - A pioneer in radioactive material research Nikola Tesla - A driving force in the field of electronics. Chemistry: Mendeleev - Responsible for the periodic table we recognise today. Cai Lun - Attributed with creating the first true paper in China. Jabir Ibn-Hayyan - The legendary figure, known as the “Father of Chemistry”, reportedly responsible for producing the “aqua regis”. Biology Charles Darwin - The famous author of “Origins of Species”. Alfred Wallace - Co-creator of the theory of Evolution. Jane Goodall - A famous scientist who, working with chimpanzees, gained a whole knew understanding of interaction between organisms. Mathematics Pythagoras - Famous for his theory on Triangles, as well as not liking beans. Mary Jackson - The first female African-American engineer for NASA, as seen in the recent movie, “Hidden Figures”. Brahmagupta - An Indian mathematician, credited with creating the rules governing the use of “0” as a number in calculations.
