Smart board bingo or smart board quiz – this resource will do both. Ideal activity for the end of the topic or exam revision. Smart board bingo includes questions on Aerobic and anaerobic respiration, the mechanism of breathing and the effects of smoking. A numbered question is generated randomly and, if that number is on their bingo card, students write in the answer. So much fun students don’t realise they are learning! Questions include: aerobic respiration; anaerobic respiration; how surface area to volume ratio affects respiration; respiratory system in humans; mechanism of breathing; comparison of inhaled and exhaled air; function of cilia, smoking, smokers cough, emphysema. What is Included Random question generator for smart board (interactive white board) – 54 questions Respiration fact sheet 48 bingo cards Answers in Word and PowerPoint Student answer sheet Suggested Lesson Plan for Bingo Students have some time to review the fact sheet either independently or with teacher. Play bingo – students write the answers into the square on their bingo card which matches the question number in the smart board. Teacher uses Word hard copy of answers to check card of winners of lines and full house Pupils use answer PowerPoint to check their answers at end of game. Suggested Lesson Plan for Quiz Students have some time to review the fact sheet either independently or with teacher. Students use the answer sheet to write down the answers to the questions as they are generated on the smart board. Students check their answers against the answer PowerPoint Questions can be automatically produced in a random order using the macro enabled generator. If you would prefer not to enable macros, a second PowerPoint, without macros, is included and the slide sorter can be used to shuffle the questions manually.

Rules of the Game • Each player selects seven dominoes from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards. • The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction. • Dominoes can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched. • If a player thinks a match is wrong they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. • If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand.

An ideal activity for the end of the topic or revision. This is a challenging, engaging and enjoyable board game, for up to six pupils per set, with 54 question cards on the basics of current electricity including: Relate surface area to volume ratio to gaseous diffusion in unicellular or small animals and the need for respiratory and transport systems in larger animals. Respiration as an exothermic reaction controlled by enzymes which produces ATP as a result of breaking down glucose. Aerobic respiration occurs in mitochondria of all cells and requires oxygen and produces CO2 and H2O Anaerobic respiration occurs in muscle cells during vigorous activity when there is little oxygen, produces lactic acid, creates oxygen debt and less ATP per glucose molecule than aerobic respiration. Role played by intercostal muscles and diaphragm during inhalation and exhalation. Label the respiratory system. Compare the composition of inhaled and exhaled air. Function of cilia. Effect of smoking on cilia, emphysema and smokers cough. Included in this Pack. Game board 54 Question cards with questions of varying difficulty Teacher answer sheet Instruction sheet. Preparation Photocopy Board onto A3 paper or card (Colour and greyscale versions included). Photocopy question sheets onto paper or card (Colour and greyscale versions included) and cut into question cards. How to Play Highest score of dice starts Pupils take turns and work their way around the board following the instructions in the squares. When landing on the thinker emoji the pupil takes a question card from the face down pile. If correct they move on 2 spaces. If a player thinks an answer given by an opponent is incorrect they can challenge. If the challenge is correct the challenger moves forward 2 spaces. If the challenge is wrong the challenger moves back two spaces. In the event of a challenge, pupils are encouraged to consult their books but the teacher has a quick-check answer sheet.

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.

Finish and reinforce the KS3 current electricity module or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson. Prior knowledge required: • current, voltage and resistance – defining and understanding, units, measuring; • circuits and symbols; • series and parallel circuits – current, voltage, switches, lamps; • current and voltage varying with number of batteries; • Ohms Law. Pupils have to work their way through the clues to find the code to a box with a combination lock containing an antidote to a substance, accidentally ingested by the laboratory. The substance is the departments a prototype, orally administered sunscreen being developed by the department which has unfortunately been found to turn the skin of mice purple and which has not yet been tested on humans and is also therefore potentially toxic. The pack contains: • PowerPoint – scene setting and instructions (sound effects and built-in timer); • crossword; • word search; • dominoes activity; • worksheet Differentiated over 2 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. The worksheet is the most challenging clue to solve and this can be omitted completely for less able classes. Both 3 and 4 number combination locks can be purchased very cheaply online if using an actual box containing an unopened bottle of a soft drink, with the label removed, for a member of the winning team to take to the technician. In the absence of a locked box, until the code is found, as each group completes a team member can be dispatched to the prep room for the technician to ”try the code”. Alternatively all the combination locks in the science department had been set to the same combination for an escape room lesson including the one used on the box with the antidote in the prep room. The combination has been lost but if the class can open the one in front of them it will open the one on the antidote! The module is available as money-saving bundles or individual topics.
