This is a brilliant study pack which can be used to fill a whole lesson on alkali metals. My class loved this lesson! Included: A teacher demonstration with instructions, equipment needed, safety features and additional teaching opportunities. An student table to fill out during the demonstration, a reactivity task, a key questions activity and a reaction equations task. Full answer sheets for all activities and tasks included. *If you cannot do a practical demonstration in your classroom the study pack works just as well if you show your students a short youtube video on alkali metal reactions.

Plant and Animal Cell Revision Game

(0)
Plant and Animal Cells Spin Wheel Revision Resource This resource encompasses 12 key questions from the cell unit unit. These are questions selected as they occur regularly and are classically challenging for students to answer. The resource is based around plant and animal cell components, component functions and locations in the cell. Example questions from the spin wheel resource: Which cell components are specific to only plant cells? Which cell component is linked to respiration? What is the role of the nucleus? 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’. This encourages the student to revisit the spin wheel to revise the key questions until they reach the ‘know it’ level. Very simple preparation: Print the sheets (set up in A4 PDF). The students can then cut out the pin wheel for themselves and push a pen or pencil through the middle for the wheel to spin around. I found clamp stands to be a useful alternative.
