Extension Cards for G&T

Here are some G&T questions I made up to challenge my more able students! I stuck them on A5 playing cards in difficulty order e.g. 2-5 easy (Aimed more at Year7) 6-9 Medium (Aimed at year 8) and 10-ace hard (Aimed at year 9). They include some 'How Science Works&' questions and also some general extension tasks. Enjoy- my classes love them!

Lesson I used for a mixed ability year 7 class so is full of differentiation. The worksheet is differentiated 3 ways, you just need to cut it into 5 parts. When I talk about 'particle stickers' I just gave the pupils some small circle stickers to use which they enjoyed :) Hope this is useful!

Lesson I used with a low/middle ability year 10 group about thermal decomposition of limestone and other metal carbonates. Includes a code breaker activity where students had to decode answers around the room! Worked well, and made the topic slightly more exciting :) Has a differentiated worksheet for writing equations for this topic too.

Polymers Lesson with competitive worksheet

This worked really well with my year 10 class! The mindmap was fab! Got students into groups of 3-4 and I had to sign off each task when it was done in the square. I made each member of the group explain it to me before I signed it off so I could see they really understood it. It also got a real sense of competition going!
