This is an activity I have used with year 7 classes to help them improve their skills in describing graphs, though it could easily be used for other year groups as well. The students sit face to face, one with sheet one and one with sheet two. They take it in turns to describe the graph shape that they can see, but they are limited in the words that they are allowed to use. The other person has to sketch the graph that is being described. They can then compare to see how well they did.

A worksheet with 6 tables and 6 sets of pre-labelled axes. Students need to select the correct graph type and plot the graph. they are also asked to give a conclusion for the graph. It is not associated with any specific topic and can be used by KS3 or KS4

A skeleton method for making copper sulphate. At each stage there is an opt-in clue that the student can choose to look at to ensure they are doing the right method. It is a nice way of differentiating a practical. It is clear at the end who has worked it out correctly as they will have lovely blue crystals at the end.
