Revision Battle Ships Template

Revision Battle Ships Template

(1)
It's pretty straight forward, I remember loving playing battle ships and got inspired. It was one of the greatest moments of my teaching carrier seeing a class of Y11s playing battle ships. How it works is almost self explanatory. Fill the information section in with what ever you want and then fill out the question grid with questions on the information. I hope anyone who has a go has as much fun as I have

FREE! Over 80 KS4 GCSE Science Activities

(4)
This resource contains over 80 activities for GCSE Science coving areas of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Most of the activities are designed to help improve students literacy by having sections within them which force students to engage with a piece of key information then answer a a range of questions on it building in complexity. Activities also contain a high level of duel coding, incorporating bespoke diagrams which are designed to help students to engage with the text in the activity. There are also a range of opportunities for students to identify and use key words. Over the lock down and periods of home schooling these activities have proved to improve student progress and improve their literacy skills when engaging with Science. Thanks for looking Any feedback in the review section would also be appreciated

Science Classroom / Lab display Ideas

(13)
I've included some photos of lab displays I've put up over the years, hopefully they will help anyone who's looking for a bit of inspiration. I'm also toying around with the idea of writing a book on classroom displays. If anyone can make any suggestions on what to include that would be useful I would be appreciative.
