This is a full set of retrieval practice activities to be used as quick 10-15 minute tasks during lessons. These tasks have been created to fit in throughout the whole EDEXCEL physics and combined science physics GCSE course (task list shown in the ‘Physics retrieval TASK LIST AND GUIDE’ that is also attached).
There are 23 different retrieval task – some are for triple science only with different tasks written for combined science physics (H an F different where necessary.
My retrieval practice activities are all out of 20 marks and are intended to test pupils retrieval of knowledge from recent and more historic topics (approx. 10 marks from recent lessons and 10 marks from other topics taught previously). They are best printed as A5 sized booklets.
All retrieval tasks come with an answer document that can be used for easy teacher marking or can be displayed for self/peer marking.
