What do teachers say about this resource? (8902)

Very comprehensive and covers all the aspects of the specification. It is logical and follows the sequence of the relevant textbooks and revision guides. This would fit in with many departmental SOL as most teachers have followed this process / sequence when planning their curriculum journey. There are a variety of different exercises for the students to complete, and I particularly like that some of the Starters/ Plenary’s involve working in groups and teams. The variety of hands on exercises would be particularly useful at engaging under performing students, they would enjoy the competitive aspect of some of these tasks. The resources are straightforward and easy to follow. The task is clearly set out and includes the answer sheets for the students and a list of all the necessary equipment. The activities are fun and engaging. The resource can easily be adapted for homework’s or independent learning and doesn’t need the use of specialized equipment.

A great resource to use from y7-10 getting them ready for the NEA. I like how some activities are short and focused to suit many aspects of the new specification. Easy to prepare and can be used to extend the learning of all students.
