Exit ticket template

(0)
An exit ticket template that can be used for any lesson. Created in the style of a British Railway ticket. Provided in word format so you can edit the name on the ticket for your own. Great way to capture learning from the lesson or use as a recap. Not valid for travel! Can be printed onto Avery or Lyreco labels so you can stick them in to student books once they have been reviewed.

GCSE Physics Energy Transfer Calculations

(0)
A differentiated resource leading students through the usage of E = Pt Energy, Power and Time calculations. This gives students an opportunity to reinforce their learning of the equation and chance to practice completing questions. Ten questions, scaffolded to start with then gradually allowing them to work on their own. It also involves some conversion of units on the harder questions. Complete with all the answers.
Tarsia Puzzle template

Tarsia Puzzle template

(1)
This is a handy template for creating Tarsia Puzzles. They are triangular pieces that form a hexagon when connected up correctly. Write words/definitions on each piece so that they pair up, cut up the pieces and then students have to put the puzzle back together based on their knowledge. This does not do it for you automatically. This is a great tool for testing knowledge on a wide range of topics.
