Versatile resource. A ten-question animated slideshow quiz with sound effects on eleven slides which also be used as an exit ticket activity. Each pupil has three cards A, B and C. They select the answer to a question and hold up the appropriate card before the answer to the question is revealed. This also provides instant feedback on pupil progress for the teacher and the opportunity for further explanation. It can also be used by pupils individually in a network room or loaded onto the school website for use as revision at home. Each slide shows the instructions reading time, thinking time, hold up your card and click for answer. Functions are timed but can be over-ridden by a mouse-click. This format was highly praised by inspectors. The quiz is available as a ppsx file so that it runs as a slideshow. The quiz is a part of a fully resource lesson which is also available.

Finish and reinforce the KS3 cells module or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson. Prior knowledge required: • structure of plant and animal cells; • function of nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell wall, vacuole, chloroplasts, mitochondria; • differences between plant and animal cells; • recognise diagrams of and know the differences in specialised cells such as red blood cells, root hair cells, fat cells, nerve cells, palisade cells, egg cells, ciliated cells. Pupils have to work their way through the clues to find the code to a combination lock which has been set to the same code as one borrowed from the science department and used on the door of the walk – in freezer in the school kitchen. The school cook has now been accidentally locked in and the combination need to be found. The pack contains: • PowerPoint – scene setting and instructions (sound effects and built-in timer); • crossword; • word search; • dominoes activity; • worksheet (differentiated over two versions); • code breaker sheet; • answer keys; • lesson plan. If time is limited just the crossword, word search and domino can be used. With a minimum of 50 minutes available one of the differentiated worksheets can also be used. Both 3 and 4 number combination locks can be purchased very cheaply online if using an actual combination lock for realism. Fully resourced and differentiated lessons on these topics are available.

A comprehensive and enjoyable, fully resourced lesson on respiration including an explanation of the difference between respiration and breathing. What’s Covered Breathing is movement of air in and out of the lungs. Respiration is the release of energy from glucose. Breathing provides the oxygen for aerobic respiration and gets rid of waste carbon dioxide. Label the trachea, right bronchus, bronchiole, alveolus, intercostal muscle, rib, diaphragm. Label a diagram of an alveolus and show the direction of diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Experiment using limewater to compare the amount of carbon dioxide in inhaled and exhaled air. Compare the percentage of oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen in inhaled and exhaled air. Mechanism of breathing. Changes in volume and pressure inside the chest during inhalation and exhalation. Evaluate a model of the mechanism of breathing. Design an investigation into how breathing rate varies with exercise. ** What’s Included** Animated PowerPoint for teaching with exit ticket quiz Flip it (pupil writes questions to given answers) Anticipation Guides (combined starter and plenary) Foldable Cut and stick activity.

This action-packed, differentiated, lesson on the structure of plant and animal cells is fully resourced with 12 activities and 14 learning outcomes. Pupils learn to label and know the functions of the nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm, mitochondria, cell wall, chloroplasts and vacuole. It explains that differences between plant and animal cells stem from the lack of a skeleton in plant so that the cells must provide support and that plants, anchored into the ground and unable to move to hunt, must make their own food. Easy to follow instructions are given on PowerPoint and worksheets so that the lesson practically runs itself. Activities include literacy, group work, peer assessment, self-assessment, pupil response to assessment and feedback to teacher on pupil learning via an exit ticket quiz. This pack contains material for two hours lesson time in total to enable the teacher to select resources to totally bespoke their lesson according to pupil ability, time available for the topic and focus of departmental/school policy.

An ideal science activity for the end of the Christmas term which promotes not only the concept of teamwork but also individually contributing to the success of a team. There are 56 science and Christmas trivia questions in this animated, interactive team quiz with built – in scoreboard for up to seven teams. All questions are pictorial and multiple choice. Team Rounds Each team will attempt their general knowledge team round of three questions. The answer to each question must be decided by the whole team. If a wrong answer is given, the next question goes to the first hand up and, if correct, that person’s team get to try the rest of the round. Each team will also have to solve the clues to identify a well - known phrase or saying. There are four lightning rounds in which team members consult to try to identify a slowly revealed person or landmark. Individual Rounds Four unscramble and identify rounds which consists of a picture which has been cut up and rearranged. This is an individual not a team round. Memory Test – questions on eleven objects which cross the screen then disappear. Memory Test – give coordinates of frogs which have moved around a pond. Finally, the ten - question individual bonus round. This round allows flexibility in terms of the time the quiz takes as not all the questions have to be attempted. The quiz therefore can last between 40 and 50 minutes. Why not have a look at my shop? Elf Off the Shelf Shop

A fantastic end-of-year or back to school activity but really the ideal any-time vehicle to promote community and communication between teachers and students and which also introduces that important element of healthy competition - so often missing in distance learning. The competition can be run for individual classes or across several classes and offering a prize and running a “coming to your computer soon” campaign for a few days before fires interest and enthusiasm. How it Works The design of this fully - animated quiz is unique and is specifically tailored to quizzing at a distance. Students complete the quiz which automatically records the score and the time taken. They then take a screenshot or photograph of their final score or time and email it to their teacher. The winner is the student with the highest score and in the event of a tie, the student with the lowest time wins. The time penalties for each question mean that those pupils who have cheated and looked up the answers online are unlikely to win. On selecting a wrong answer, the student is immediately provided with the correct answer. Question Content All questions are pictorial and multiple choice. A wide-range of topical and historical general knowledge is included. As well as asking a question, most slides also provide some interesting snippets about the topic so pupils are expanding their general knowledge as well as enjoying the activity. Topics include: geography history sport nature current affairs science music astrology astronomy flags of the world famous people famous landmarks Types of Question Straight forward select the correct answer. Unscramble the picture to identify the object. Memory test – answer questions on the order and detail of objects which have passed on a conveyor belt. Memory test – Give the coordinates of fish before and after they swim around a pond. Identify the slowly - revealed animal or famous location. Identify the well – known phrase or saying from animated clues. Lots more resources at my shop? Elf Off the Shelf Resources
