Distance Learning or Remote Learning Quiz KS3
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.

Friction is a force which opposes motion and is measured in newtons (N).
Friction increases with the roughness of the surface.
Friction is caused by collisions between “bumps”, sometimes microscopic, as surfaces slide over each other.
Collisions slow things down and produce heat.
How lubricants reduce friction

Light - Lenses Plus the Eye, Pinhole Camera & Camera - Find the Pair Game KS3
This is an engaging and enjoyable memory game on lenses including the eye, the pinhole camera and the camera. Pupils work in teams of three or four. Each team lays out their 42 cards face down in a square and take it in turn to turn over two cards. If the cards are a question and its correct answer, the pupil keeps the pair. If they are not a match they are turned face down and the next pupil gets a turn. This process continues until all cards are matched and the winner is the pupil with the most pairs.
If a team member thinks that the selectors pair is not a correct match, they can challenge.
Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer but the teacher also has a quick-check answer sheet. If the challenge is correct, the challenger keeps the pair.
