Here it is - the 2019 Science Quiz - the ideal resource for one of your end-of-term lessons! I have aimed this at KS4 students, with 3 short rounds of questions on science curriculum work and a longer 4th round on scientific discoveries in 2019. • There are 4 rounds altogether. • The first 3 rounds have 4 questions each. Answers are given at the end of each round. • The last round is made up of 11 questions about discoveries made in 2019. This is followed by a challenge activity. Students work in 11 groups to research one of the discoveries (background information is included in Word files which should be printed out for them). One person from each group (the Reporter) then feeds back to the class. • I hope you find this useful and enjoyable!
