a mish mash of questions to challenge gcse students over 1/2 term - very good for finding gaps in knowledge

Give each member of the class a copy of key words, they have to find definitions and learn. At start of next lesson read out definitions and they write down the key word.

pupils fill in the blanks and find pictures and draw them into the boxes as required

aims: To know that microbes can be used in the production food; Understand the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration

naming salts fill in sheet - good starter/plenary/afl activity

a good one to start a revision lesson - just cut triminoes out and see how long it takes them!

this says cut and paste activity, but works better as 'link element to use' - good starter or plenary

low ability fill in sheet

Fill in sheet used to recap the different types of bonding and their properties.

can be used as end of topic test

a class it project, where pupils are divided into groups and given sub projects. They research and produce a project, which then then present back to the class - who assess each other.

a selection of tasks for pupils to make revision poster and present back to rest of class

This work can be done either as an extended h/w or class project as you go through the topic. The idea is that at the end of the topic the pupils have a self made revision resource. the idea is to produce an analysis booklet with anion and cation tests, which can be used in an 'unknown compound' practical assessment lesson. I have also attached a quality marking scheme.

good for end of topic test

fill in sheet and add pictures activity - good for ks3 or low ability ks4

Test on the word and symbol equations required at KS4.

Homework resource - I generally quality mark this as there is always room for improvement!

I use this for a revision lesson at the end of the Edexcel GCSE topic. Colourful resource, best enlarged to A3. Please comment and rate if you use.
