Halloween Science Foldables Simple to make, Halloween themed science foldables! Review key general science themes with a Halloween spin. The three foldables in this resource are set up in A4 format, are print ready and come with an accompanying answer key. There is an instructions box in the corner of each foldable too, to prompt children. The foldables can be applicable for a number of different grades as they draw on general science principles and can be used as a fun, science activity as Halloween approaches. Included: A Skeleton and bones foldable with answer page This foldable includes simple questions on bones and the human skeleton. Children don’t require a great deal of knowledge of the skeletal system to complete this. Some of the questions can be ‘best guess’ style (e.g. How many bones do you think an adult skeleton has?) whilst others draw on key science principles (e.g. Which mineral keeps bones healthy?). A cauldron chemicals foldable with answer page The cauldron foldable focuses on simple chemicals and mixtures questions (e.g. What is a mixture? How would you separate sand and water?) A pumpkin foldable with answer page The pumpkin foldable includes questions which draw on science themes around food groups, plant pollination and energy (e.g. pumpkin plants have both male and female parts, how is pollen transferred between these parts?)

Mole Calculations Spin Wheel Revision Resource This resource encompasses 12 key questions from ‘The Mole Concept’ unit. These are questions selected as they occur regularly and are classically challenging for students to answer. The resource is based around relative formula mass, moles and masses and volume and concentration calculations. Example questions from the spin wheel resource: What is the relative formula mass of water? How many grams of MgO are there in 0.5 moles? What is the concentration of 5dm3 of acid which is 10 moles? Also included in the resource is a full answer set. There is also an instructions sheet, with helpful guidance on using the spin wheel as a revision tool, student answer sheet and a ‘tick and repeat sheet’. This encourages the student to revisit the spin wheel to revise the key questions until they reach the ‘know it’ level. Very simple preparation: Print the sheets (set up in A4 PDF). The students can then cut out the pin wheel for themselves and push a pen or pencil through the middle for the wheel to spin around. I found clamp stands to be a useful alternative.

Elements of the Periodic Table Spin Wheel Revision Resource This resource encompasses 12 key questions from the periodic table unit.
