Display: Famous People in Business

(4)
Descriptions of 10 famous people in business. Great for a small display. I’ve cut the answers off mine - you could cut these out separately and dot around the display so learners just have to match them up - or perhaps cover the names up. PDF format as it’s unlikely you’ll have the font to match.

Profit & Loss Account Worksheet GCSE Business Studies (EdExcel Applied mainly) (Version 1)

(11)
This activity gets students to complete a profit and loss account for the fictional, Barmy Burgers. Students must use all the data on the handout to complete the various activities. This is part of a differentiated task - there are three handouts which you might give to all students to complete in succession, or group students based on ability. If basing on ability, this is not the most challenging of the activities.

BBC Micro Bit - Rock Paper Scissors - Lesson PPT, Handout & Extension Challenge

(3)
Teacher PowerPoint and student handout to guide them through coding a rock, paper, scissors game using Block Editor on the Micro Bit website. The lesson includes two extension challenges. I start by playing rock, paper, scissors the old fashioned way, just so they get the idea of how the game works. Students then code it, add to the device and play the game themselves using their Micro:bit. Quite fun! Enjoy.
End of Term / Secondary Induction FUN Lesson - Create a PowerPoint Maze Game (Scary or Nice)!

End of Term / Secondary Induction FUN Lesson - Create a PowerPoint Maze Game (Scary or Nice)!

(3)
Update: The files marked NEW! include a template for this resource which already has the hyperlinks included in PowerPoint; so if you’re tight on time, students can still make use of this resource without having to learn how to make links. Along with this are 6 challenges (differentiated) and a log for students to complete and take with them - PERFECT for Year 6 Induction in a computer room/IT/Computing lesson. As it’s the end of term, this fun activity still gets students learning about how to add hyperlinks into PowerPoint presentations. The scary maze can be changed for Santa’s maze, if you’re aiming to do something ‘Christmassy’! The activity gets students to create a version of the ‘scary maze game’ (Google it!). They find a scary image that, if their users hit the wall of their maze, will flash on the screen (after slides are linked). I don’t want students having nightmares though, so I have provided an alternative ‘nicer maze game’ too! Included is a student handout, PowerPoint to act as a short lesson guide (two versions - scary and nicer) as well as a scream sound for students to use if placed on a shared area. As always, feedback is welcome! Enjoy! *Copyright - I either own everything or it comes from an acknowledged, royalty free source!

Ideal plenary to an E-Safety lesson, or an ice-breaker to a PSHE Internet Safety session. There is a sound track to the first slide too; save everything to one folder - if it doesn't work you may need to set it up! Macros enable the shapes to move, so make sure they are enabled when a warning appears. Hope you enjoy!

Uploaded as a Word document so it can be coloured/typed on to suit. There are two versions of the five period day to suit when you may have lunchtime.

Database Queries - Searching a Database - Guess who game! KS3 Computer Science

YOU MUST HAVE MS ACCESS TO USE THIS LESSON (THE FBI FILES IS A DATABASE!). Teachers need to show students how to carry out a query using Microsoft Access first. Students can then use the database provided to independently practice their ability to carry out a query by answering questions 1 - 7 on the provided handout. Teachers should then bring the class together to play 'Guess Who' using the PowerPoint and database. Teachers display the clues to each of the four people and students should carry out a query to find the correct person. A reward for each quickest query-carry-outer could be provided. A long activity to complete your database lesson for Key Stage 3 ICT or Computing/Computer Science!
