An editable word document that Theory of Knowledge students can use to help guide them through the process of extracting a knowledge question from a real life situation.
This is approximately a 2 hour research project for the IKS Area of Knowledge for the TOK course for the IB Diploma.
Students should work in groups to complete the activities in the first two activity sheets, using the mind map template to help structure their arguments. They should then individually complete the personal reflection activity.
Some of my most popular displays bundled together.
Includes:
Exam command terms
Key words in science
EM Spectrum
History of American spaceflight
Newton's Law of Gravitation
Radioactive decay
Particle physics
The Solar System
17 jpg images on the Solar System. Explaining some of the bits of the Solar System are often forgotten!

I made a powerpoint with easy to read font for all the possible command terms in science exams (SATs, GCSEs, AS/A Levels). However, I am certain these command terms are also applicable to many other non-science subjects.
There are 25 command terms with definitions, on A4 landscape pages. An example of one of the command terms is below:
State: Give a specific name, value or other brief answer. (No supporting argument or calculation is needed)
Included is the original powerpoint to add to/edit. As you may not have the font I used installed it will just show up in Arial. I've included a pdf copy as well which will have the font I used on it.
I picked the font, as normally these type of displays are written in comic sans to make them easy to read, but I detest that font! This font, named 'complete in him' is easy to read for dyslexic students (I have surveyed some of my students who are dyslexic, and I am also dyslexic)
