Describing Objects Cognition and Learning Task Cards Included in this resource: 24 ‘describe’ task cards - These task cards have an image of an everyday object on them (e.g. a shoe) and three keywords associated with the object (e.g. foot, lace and walk) which the child has to avoid using to describe the object. This promotes cognitive skills and the child must think outside the box for alternative descriptive words to best describe the object, beyond the typical choices. 24 ‘link’ task cards - These task cards have three words (e.g. cold, chocolate and vanilla) on them. The child must think of the link between these three words (e.g. in this case - ice cream). These task cards encourage children to explore connections and relationships between words, in order to find a common link. They vary in difficulty to provide some differentiation. The document is print ready and A4. I have used this resource with a wide range of age groups. I have used these cards to support children with broadening their vocabulary and their ability to apply descriptive language. I have also used this resource as a relationship builder / ice breaker to scaffold conversation with a new child to the group. I have found the cards useful both in on a 1:1 basis and in a group/class setting. Many thanks - Science House

Example questions from the spin wheel resource: What is the relative formula mass of water? How many grams of MgO are there in 0.5 moles? What is the concentration of 5dm3 of acid which is 10 moles? Also included in the resource is a full answer set. There is also an instructions sheet, with helpful guidance on using the spin wheel as a revision tool, student answer sheet and a ‘tick and repeat sheet’.
