Ready made Science display for any lab. 20 Science jokes and their explanations. Print out and stick randomly on board (all jokes have humorous cartoons etc too). Students have to match the joke with the correct explanation. Will cover a large board! (just miss a few jokes out to cover smaller board). Very popular! Probably best for seondary, but why not push those primary kids?
