POINTS PURSUIT is a gamified revision strategy that can be integrated with any rewards system of your choosing and is a nice way to increase competition. Questions start off as low demand at the top and then progressively increase in difficulty as students move down the sheet - please note that I have used this with higher ability classes and many students have started at the bottom to gain the most points and then worked their way up the sheet as an effective strategy.
I usually complete a sheet under a visualiser and have students swap sheets and coloured pens then follow along to reduce my marking :)

SAVE THE SNOWMAN is a Christmas themed gamefied revision strategy to be used either in small teams or as a whole class!
It works exactly like battleships. Each team secretly draws their snowmen onto their record sheet and then teams take it in turns to launch fire snowballs at the other teams coordinates! However, to throw a snowball, they must first correctly answer a question, hidden behind the presents! If you’re lucky, there might even be a candy cane hidden behind the present - a free shot! Teams win by ‘melting’ all the other teams snowmen (or by melting the highest proportion of the other teams snowmen by the end of the lesson). The powerpoint is interactive with pre-made hyperlinks, all you have to do is change the questions hidden behind the presents! You can easily increase the difficulty to suit your class ability.
This resource can be used in any subject, for any year group!
These are revision mats for AQA Combined and Triple Science Paper 1.
Specifically looking at Biology topics. This includes:
Cell Biology
Organisation
Infection and Response
Bioenergetics
For only £5 you will receive 19 revision mats, which include:
Cell Biology revision mats:
Cell Division
Cells
Microscopy
Stem Cells
Transport in Cells
For Cell Biology Aseptic techniques (TRIPLE ONLY) download our free revision mat here:https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12926219
Organisation revision mats:
Blood Points Pursuit
CHD
Digestive Enzymes
Plat Tissues
The Digestive System
CHD revision mat: this activity would work well as an information hunt and includes the appropriate powerpoint slides which can be inserted into your own slide show or printed for students to move around the room and help them complete the activity sheet.
For Organisation The Heart download our free revision mat here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12926265
**Infections and Response revision mats: **
Body Defences and The Immune System - Points Pursuit
Drug Development
Pathogens and Diseases
Vaccinations
Plant Tissues (TRIPLE ONLY)
Pathogens and Diseases revision mat: this download includes 2 card sort activities to allow for differentiation.
The first card sort is more suited for higher ability students as students are required to match diseases to their symptoms and methods of transmission and then separate these into the 4 pathogens.
The second card sort is more suited for lower ability students as this is a domino style activity where students will make a chain of cards with their answer from the previous card leading directly onto their next question. This makes it a lot easier for students to spot their mistakes.
Either activity could be easily used as a seated information hunt.

Nando’s Chili Topic Questions
Aerobic Respiration
Limiting Factors
Metabolism Question Maze
Nando’s Chili: this activity is designed to be printed 2 to a page and is a perfect end of topic quick summary activity to identify gaps in knowledge.
I have completed one half of the sheet to show example questions for lower ability students and the other for higher ability students. The worksheet is available to be downloaded as a PowerPoint slide and so can be edited as desired or used as is.
I typically allow students to jump in on the ‘spice level’ of their choice if running out of time but prefer to start all students on lemon and herb and have them complete tasks moving up the sheet as a timed activity.
Metabolism Question Maze: QUESTION MAZE is a gamified revision strategy that can be integrated with any rewards system of your choosing and is a nice way to increase competition. Mix demand of questions are scattered throughout the maze with instructions for points clearly indicated for students. This activity works well as part of an individual or group task.
