Plant Anatomy and Life Cycle - Find the Pair Team Game KS3
This is an engaging and enjoyable memory game on the anatomy of the flowering plant and its life cycle. There are questions on plant parts, pollination, fertilization, seeds structure and their dispersal and germination.
How to Play
Pupils work in teams of three or four.
Each team lays out their 42 cards face down in a square and take it in turn to turn over two cards.
If the cards are a question and its correct answer, the pupil keeps the pair. If they are not a match they are turned face down and the next pupil gets a turn. This process continues until all cards are matched and the winner is the pupil with the most pairs.
If a team member thinks that the selectors pair is not a correct match, they can challenge.
Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer but the teacher also has a quick-check answer sheet. If the challenge is correct, the challenger keeps the pair.
Included in this Pack.

Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards.
The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction.
Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched.
If a player thinks a match is wrong, they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached.
If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand.

Science and General Knowledge Quiz KS3 2019 - Back to School/End of Year
An ideal end-of-term activity or first-day team builder. This activity promotes the concepts of working as a team and individually contributing to the success of a team.
It is a 65 question, animated, interactive team quiz with built – in scoreboard for up to seven teams. All questions are pictorial and multiple choice. A wide-range of topical and historical general knowledge is included.

geography
history
sport
nature
science
astronomy
astrology
current affairs
film
art
flags of the world
famous people
famous landmarks
Each team will attempt their team round which consists of a science question and four general knowledge questions. The answer to each question must be decided by the whole team. If a wrong answer is given, the next question goes to the first hand up and, if correct, that person’s team gets to try the rest of the round.
After the team round is the individual round. A maximum of thirty questions answered on a first-hand-up basis accruing points for the team. This second round allows flexibility in terms of the time the quiz takes as not all thirty questions have to be attempted. The quiz therefore can last between 30 and 50 minutes.

Plant and Animal Cells-Structure and Differences KS3
This action-packed, differentiated, lesson on the structure of plant and animal cells is fully resourced with 12 activities and 14 learning outcomes. Pupils learn to label and know the functions of the nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm, mitochondria, cell wall, chloroplasts and vacuole. It explains that differences between plant and animal cells stem from the lack of a skeleton in plant so that the cells must provide support and that plants, anchored into the ground and unable to move to hunt, must make their own food.
Easy to follow instructions are given on PowerPoint and worksheets so that the lesson practically runs itself.
Activities include literacy, group work, peer assessment, self-assessment, pupil response to assessment and feedback to teacher on pupil learning via an exit ticket quiz.
This pack contains material for two hours lesson time in total to enable the teacher to select resources to totally bespoke their lesson according to pupil ability, time available for the topic and focus of departmental/school policy. Any unused resources can be utilized as additional homework or pre-examination revision.
