Two ways of engaging pupils in becoming familiar with the arcane lexicon of Science, and enjoy learning the spelling of this vast vocabulary. A tag game involves a pair, one running, the other static, both trying to remember words and spellings. Messenger is similar but involves trios working together, so maybe more chaotic!

A two-part project (could be used independently); first is a tag game that maps over a dozen scientists onto a two millennia timeline in order to show that measuring temperature is a work in progress. Second is stimulus material that encourages pupils to learn more about four of the most famous scientists, their lives, the society in which they lived and other inventions they developed.

These games enable pupils to become familiar with the word and meanings relevant to states and solutions (the majority of the words are taken from CGP Key Stage 3 Revision Guide pp31–33

This file contains ten different match-word-to-meaning models that will familiarise pupils with 24 key words in Work and energy that must be learned and understood so they are more able to incorporate further learning.

Both women and men have contributed to accurate observation of stars and development of ideas, this resource highlights the ideas of nine women and nine men who have been important in changing ideas about the stars and planets.

A plethora of different games that will engage students in learning the spelling and understanding the meaning of the vocabulary of electricity. Several match-word-to-meaning games, including 3D structures such as prisms or boxes, open ended games, such as diy wordsearch, and games for revision such as the tag games. Supplement your telling and using words, with the pupils enjoying finding the lexicon for themselves.
