This resource is made up of 7 separate learning grids to help students revise. Each pair of students simply need to roll two dice to pick what they need to explain to the person they are working with. The only extra thing you will need are exam questions for each section.

This resource is a document going through how inertial mass can be taught in an innovative way using very slow drag racing.
Any feedback would be appreciated and the full lesson is available in my shop
Just a quick little activity to help get KS4 students thinking. All you have to do to use it is ask the students to read the information card then working in pairs, roll a dice to which question they ask each other based on the the text they have read. You can use questioning after to assess students progress.
Give it a go, I still cant believe how well it has worked for me

This resource is a list of the revision tasks I've set my Y11s this term. Feel free to edit them depending on how you want to use them or what your school uses. I'll be posting more detailed instructions at

This is an idea for an activity that I have used with my Y11 students to revise with. Basically you need to build a labyrinth for students to work their way through with revision questions and activities as they make their way round it. As students try and get through you can intercept them with goblins and make them answer 6 mark questions. Most of the activities and questions are included in the power point and there are lots of question cards on TES that you can use. This probably isn't the best description but as we're all revising at the moment I hope it helps spice things up.

This has been something that I've tried with my Y11 students with some success. It is designed to give students something small to do every day. By providing an example for each piece students will see what they need to and you can confidently say that each piece only takes 15 mins or less. I've also included the sheet that I've given to my Y11's going through everything they need to do in the 6 weeks leading up to the exams.
I hope that you find this helpful
