Year 7 revision lesson on the cells topic. Students play bingo by listening to the definitions of the key words. Students put up their hands to give their answer which is shared with the rest of the group then ticked off.

Prizes were given to the winners to keep up the competitive spirit. Please rate & comment as appropriate
