This resource is a lesson focused on improving students exam technique when answering questions on water treatment. This resource includes:
1: A power point to lead students through the lesson
2: 4 slides on how to generally improve Science exam technique
3: A question on water filters
4: A question on desalination
5: Questions on water treatment
6: A data analysis question on sewage
7: A question on sewage treatment
8: A set of questions for students to work through during the lesson
9: A version of the power point for students to use
This lesson is designed to take 1 hour. After taking to students generally about exam technique the lesson has been designed to go through content, get students to complete exam style questions then go through the answers with students which are integrated into the power point.
This resource can be used with individual classes or if you have a hall free to use, for intervention sessions with large groups of students. The structure of the lesson has been designed to enable students to work at a fast pace and reflect on their own progress throughout as well as giving the teacher the opportunity to spot any gaps in students knowledge
