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!

A fun end-of-term lesson which needs no planning and only a little preparation. A PowerPoint presentation includes 3 rounds of questions on Biology, Chemistry and Physics with an extra 'Winner takes all' round - the Blind Robot Challenge. A student instruction sheet is included with the resource (which should be printed before-hand). This activity is great fun and students love it but since some students are blindfolded it does need to be thought-out and clearly explained. Answers are included at the end of each round on the slideshow. Enjoy! This resource is designed with Year 7 pupils in mind.

Just the thing for those last lessons before Christmas! This resource includes a PowerPoint presentation with 3 quiz rounds, including picture matching to event, and multiple choice questions - all about new science discoveries in 2017. It concludes with a Code-maker Challenge round in which pupils work in pairs to write a message to an alien space-craft (just sighted entering the Solar System). They then have to translate their message into Morse code and transmit it to two other students who 'receive' and translate the message back into English. Pupil score sheets and a copy of the Morse code alphabet are included in this resource. A class set of torches will need to be ordered for the lesson in order to complete Round 4. Have fun!
