FREE! Over 80 KS4 GCSE Science Activities

(4)
This resource contains over 80 activities for GCSE Science coving areas of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Most of the activities are designed to help improve students literacy by having sections within them which force students to engage with a piece of key information then answer a a range of questions on it building in complexity. Activities also contain a high level of duel coding, incorporating bespoke diagrams which are designed to help students to engage with the text in the activity. There are also a range of opportunities for students to identify and use key words. Over the lock down and periods of home schooling these activities have proved to improve student progress and improve their literacy skills when engaging with Science.

Science Classroom / Lab display Ideas

I've included some photos of lab displays I've put up over the years, hopefully they will help anyone who's looking for a bit of inspiration. I'm also toying around with the idea of writing a book on classroom displays. If anyone can make any suggestions on what to include that would be useful I would be appreciative.

Science Revision Labyrinth

Science Revision Labyrinth

This is an idea for an activity that I have used with my Y11 students to revise with. Basically you need to build a labyrinth for students to work their way through with revision questions and activities as they make their way round it. As students try and get through you can intercept them with goblins and make them answer 6 mark questions. Most of the activities and questions are included in the power point and there are lots of question cards on TES that you can use. This probably isn't the best description but as we're all revising at the moment I hope it helps spice things up. Thanks for looking

Wall to Science  GCSE Exam Success

Wall to Science GCSE Exam Success

(1)
This has been something that I've tried with my Y11 students with some success. It is designed to give students something small to do every day. By providing an example for each piece students will see what they need to and you can confidently say that each piece only takes 15 mins or less. I've also included the sheet that I've given to my Y11's going through everything they need to do in the 6 weeks leading up to the exams. I hope that you find this helpful Follow me @teacherchalky1

GCSE Biology Immune System Grid Literacy Starter Game

Just a quick little activity to help get KS4 students thinking. All you have to do to use it is ask the students to read the information card then working in pairs, roll a dice to which question they ask each other based on the the text they have read. You can use questioning after to assess students progress. Give it a go, I still cant believe how well it has worked for me Follow me @teacherchalky1
