Suitable for all levels, KS2, KS3 or KS4 (let's presume by KS5 they've got it!). Ask the class to name each symbol before revealing the answer. Some funny "symbols" too! Finish by constructing some simple circuits around the class and getting the class to draw them as diagrams in a "circus" style activity.

Practical activity and presentation on testing water and purifying. Use distilled water and a batch of dilute salty water as the two samples for the practical activity. Covers purifying water for consumption too.

Originally written for a top year 9 group, this is suitable for GCSE too. Causes of acid rain, composition of air, nitrogen oxides, climate change, ozone layer. It's all here presented in a clear and humorous style. Excellent activity at the end too.

Desrciption and actvitities via the smartboard about various types of informal reasining. Hasty generalisation, post hoc ergo propter hoc, circular reasoning, ad hominem, special pleading, ad ignorantium, false dilemma, false analogy, equivocation, loaded question etc. Written originally for an IB TOK lesson, should be useful in many areas.
