Christmas trivia
geography
history
nature
science
music
astrology
flags of the world
famous people
famous landmarks
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.

What’s Covered
Metals are conductors of electricity and heat while non - metals are insulators.
Metals are strong (have high tensile strength) but non - metals are not.
Metals are shiny when freshly cut or polished but non -metals are dull.
Metals are sonorous (make a ringing noise when struck while non – metals do not.
Metals are malleable (can be beaten into shape) and ductile (can be drawn into wires) but non – metals are neither and are brittle (shatter when struck.
Iron, nickel and cobalt are magnetic but all non – metals are not magnetic.
Metals are heavy which means they have a high have a high density because they contain a lot of particles. Non – metals are not heavy.
Metals are all solids at room temperature, except for mercury which is a liquid, as they have high boiling and melting points. Of seventeen non - metals, all are gases except for five which are solids and one which is a liquid.
Both metals are non – metals burn in oxygen to form the oxide.
Metal oxides are alkaline and non -metal oxides are acidic.
This versatile pack can be used to reinforce each section of the current electricity module as it is taught or for revision. Many of the games could be used for cover lessons, even when taken by a non-specialist as they come with a hard-copy or PowerPoint of the answers. It is also the ideal end of term/year pack.

Elements to Equations - Three Fully Resourced Lessons KS3
Three fully resourced lessons taking the learner from an understanding of atoms and molecules through elements and compounds, chemical symbols and formulae and finally to naming compounds and balancing chemical equations.
What’s Covered
All atoms of one element are the same but are different from the atoms of other elements.
Atoms combine to form molecules.
If combining atoms are from the same element, a molecule of an element is formed.
If combining atoms are from different element, a molecule of a compound is formed.
An element contains only one type of atom
A compound contains two or more different types of atom.
Elements are listed in the periodic table.
Each element has its own symbol.
Symbols can be the first letter of the name (capital), two letters from the name (capital then lowercase) or taken from the Latin name of the element.
The formula of a compound tells you how many atoms of each element are in it.
Working out the number of atoms of each element in a compound from its formula.
Naming compounds with the groups CO3, SO4, NO3.
Compounds containing only two atoms end in ide.
Mono = 1, di = 2, tri = 3.
Conservation of mass.

Kinetic Theory of Matter, Mixtures and Solutions, Separating Mixtures - Distance, Classroom and Blended Learning KS3
Three action-packed topics providing a one – stop – shop for the kinetic theory of matter (particle theory), mixtures and solutions and separating mixtures.
The two packs in this resource allow the same lesson to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home. It facilitates blended learning and provides equality of opportunity for students who are unable to attend school.
For each topic, the classroom resource consists of an animated PowerPoint with over 50 slides and a minimum of 13 varied and exciting printables including guides notes, a foldable, cut-and-stick and progress check. The one-page flowchart lesson plan shows where choices can be made between the printables so that the teacher can select the activities to suit the exact needs of their class.
For each topic, the distance learning pack consists of an animated PowerPoint with over 65 slides which, not only teaches the science but also how to gain maximum benefit from distance learning. Each PowerPoint has been designed to replace the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. Additional worksheets, guided notes, cut-outs, foldables and progress checks provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. These can be printed off by the student or provided by school. For each topic there is also a short digital test/homework which can be returned to the teacher. A shortened photocopiable PDF of each PowerPoint is provided to circulate to those pupils without computers.

Acids Bases and Indicators - Fully Resourced Lesson Plus Dominoes Game
A comprehensive and fully resourced lesson on acids, bases and indicators (litmus and the pH scale) for middle school plus an enjoyable yet challenging dominoes game which students can either match or answer the question.
The teaching pack contains eighteen resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built in to the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made. There are three differentiated and engaging homeworks which can also be used as classwork if so desired.
The game is closely related to the topic content and reinforces learning. It is enjoyable and suitable for all abilities in that it can be played by simply matching the pictures but presents a challenge for those who are able to match a picture with another which means the same.
What’s Covered
An acid is a substance which contains hydrogen, tastes sour, turns blue litmus red and has a pH between 0 and 6;
A base is a substance which is the oxide or hydroxide of a metal, feels soapy, turns red litmus blue and has a pH between 8 and 14;
Hydroxides are soluble bases;
Neutral substances are neither acidic nor alkaline;
For neutral substances, red litmus stays red and blue litmus stays blue;
The pH of strong acids (0 – 2), weak acids (3 – 6), neutral substances (7), weak bases (8 – 11) and strong bases (12 – 14);
Explanation of concentrated and dilute in terms of solute and solvent particles;
Concentrated acids and bases are corrosive;
Many foods contain dilute weak acids and bases and gives examples;
Models the particles and gives the formula of some acids and bases.
