Not my idea Original on Twitter - will try and find source A revision idea I tried with my year 7 class. They were allowed to use their KO and exercise books to help them answer the questions. Anything they were unsure about I helped with. The aim of the ‘game’ is to take over as many regions as possible. I printed the map on A5 and stuck it in a plastic wallet. Students had to answer any question of their choice – if they got it right (according to partner) they are able to take over the region (initial the region with board pen on the plastic wallet). Students are able to use the * questions (aimed to be more difficult) to take over a region that has already been occupied. It worked well especially as we started the lesson off with a brain dump of everything they could remember.

Aimed at a year 9 class I taught (based loosely on Activate 2 biology topics and beginning of GCSE biology). Biology revision test based on the following topics: Animal and plant cells Transport of substances Specialised cells Mitosis vs meiosis Structure of DNA Punnet square (genetics) Answers provided. Was given as an informal assessment, to allow me to see how they were progressing. The ‘revision test’ was also used to help them revise for their end of topic assessment - after assessing their work they were able to work out their gaps in learning.
