Indicator Species: Data Collection
Today my S3’s visited ‘Sites’ to identify and count the different number of species present.
Using information about their niches, pupils could then identify on a map where these sites are.
Found on twitter!! A great resource
Revision Clock ⏰
Excellent example of retrieval practice from one of my N5 pupils. 5 minutes per topic, write everything you know without notes.
Check against summary pages after, anything missed or wrong is where you should focus your revision!
Find and Fix the Mistake ❌
A technique that can be used to check for understanding of content. Used today with my S1s to check their knowledge of cell structure 🔬
Lego bricks out again for distinguishing the differences between elements, compounds and mixtures ⚛️
