This activity is designed to force deeper thinking at all levels, forcing students of all abilities to make links between concepts they have encountered over the course of the topic. This is a highly engaging activity for all which draws on both literacy and content.
Each word has a point value ascribed to it, depending on level of difficulty. Students then construct sentences linking as many of the words as they can in a single sentence. They tally up their word score and then move on to producing another sentence. etc. Instructions on how to use the activity with a set of dice is also included.
Always ensure that students have access to glossaries or text books so that they can challenge themselves to find the meaning of new terminology or concepts. This is best carried out in pairs, where students can discuss and share ideas.
This has been designed specifically for the new GCSE Physics content and has been used for the first time with Year 9 in 2016.
Some of the words/concepts include: Eureka Can, Solid, Sublimate, Vibrate, Liquid, Gas, melt, energy, inter-molecular etc.
