A quiz in the format of an i-phone app. Pupils look at the 4 pictures and decide what the key word is using the letters at the bottom. All the words are linked to the Chemistry GCSE making this a useful revision aid. To those asking how you make your own, I used screen shots of the game (from Google) and copied and pasted my own images over the top. I then cut and pasted the correct letters from different screen shots to make sure the right letters were available. It was very time consuming but the pupils loved it so it was worth it.
