Key-Words for Science

A series of word games designed to reinforce the key-words used in Key Stage 3 Science. The program selects a randonm key-word within the topic and pupils have to guess the letters present. The guessed letters can be entered via the on-screen keyboard. Each time a wrong letter is entered a 'life' is lost. A list of the key-words used can be downloaded from the link below.

Hang-man or Wheel of Fortune-like activity making a game out of associating words with concepts. Has sets for all of KS3 vocabulary.

FANTASTIC! "This site offers a growing bank of imaginative, highly visual teaching-aids developed for use with interactive whiteboards in 11-18 Schools.

The resources are designed to be used as rich sources of visually stimulating material, making use of both animations and drag and drop interactivity. The appropriate Key Stage is indicated for each resource.

It is hoped that the resources will help students to make sense of some of the more challenging concepts they encounter.

Many of the resources can be used to support starter or plenary activities.

Whist the software that comes with your board is a consideration in the purchase decision, your board is capable of turning any piece of software into an interactive learning tool. Carefully examine how well your intended board runs a variety of software and be very cautious of "free steak knives", look carefully at ongoing costs charged by some IWB software vendors. Ensure that the software is versatile and allows you to develop your own content.
