This resource includes two question revision pyramids aimed at Low ability and mid/high ability for Year 7 on the topic of electricity. Answers are included on separate slides for peer or self assessment in lessons. I normally give the students a set amount of time e.g. 20 minutes for them to complete questions of their choice to reach a total of 100 points. Different level of questions are worth different amounts of points. This means students can choose the low level questions and have more to complete, or can choose the more challenging questions and complete less questions. It is a great revision tool for Year 7s and provides a challenge as students can become competitive to see who can get the most points. It is an engaging activity.

I created this worksheet as a support sheet for students struggling with drawing Punnett squares in the genetics topic. This worksheet is best printed off on A3 and works to walk students through the steps involved in determining the alleles of the parents and creating a Punnett square to determine the probability of certain outcomes. The layout is in a style that allows students to easily follow the process. Have used a similiar format in the past on calculation style questions in physics and drawing ionic bonds in chemistry and students loved it! I have also included the answer sheet to go with it.

Great for a revision lesson on energy and energy resources. Two different levels of pyramids; one for mid to high ability and one for low ability groups. Students use any resources available to them including lesson notes and textbooks to try and complete as many questions as they can to get to 100 points. This is a great differentiated resource as students can attempt harder questions for more points or stick to lower level questions for less points, meaning more questions. Answers are also included for all the questions. Students should only need 20-30 minutes to attempt pyramid and then can self assess.
