Editor's Notes
- Comments taken from Twitter comments, news headlines and DfE site regarding the new 2016 on GCSE changes and teacher concerns regarding these. The point being that if we teach only to the test, then potentially the new style GCSEs will not develop the depth of character and range of skills that our children need. Our job is to ensure we still ensure learning happens in all ways, that none are disadvantaged, and that our style encourages all skills to develop.
- Google Teacher Academy – observations that teachers and students alike, from any subject, any phase, any type of institution, has a fear of taking risk. Stepping into the unknown worries students sometimes who want to be given an answer. Equally teachers fear trying something different because of performance management fears, worries about results, etc.

- Question and answer type jigsaws. Students make revision jigsaws for themselves. Could be diagrams, quizzes, etc. This example is like jigsaw jeopardy: the answer is on top and has to match the question underneath.
- Using artefacts and modelling. Take debris from rivers (sticks, pebbles, sand, etc.) and keywords and images – students then create river profiles or cross sections to show how debris changes along the river profile.
- Cakes and sweets modelling! Cake wave cut platforms, using sweets to represent population structure.
- See Digital Explorer website for instructions but basically create coral polyp models (which will tie in to new 2016 curriculum) from food.
- Use scrabble pieces for keywords checks. Can also be for numeracy link and used in class or tutor.
- Digital Explorer experiments – see the website. Left hand example is to have freshwater and saline ice cores, then add red food dye and as it absorbs into the ice you can see how increasing salinity causes ice to become weaker and have faults. Top right is for showing impact of acidification of water upon shells. Bottom right is to model ocean conveyor system by mixing coloured freshwater and coloured saline water which will then sink: can demonstrate density changes of water.
- Minecraft modelling. Used in homework and in school. Create virtual worlds, e.g. of your local area, or of a rainforest. Can download worlds from minecraft.edu and lots of support available from Microsoft Partners in Learning.
- Different options: 1) as the music plays move around and have to read key facts / study a stimulus image…when the music stops they have to answer an exam question. 2) have exam Qs stuck to the back of the chairs (no peeking), keep cycling through and when music stops have to answer the exam Q on whiteboards, etc,.

- Students write a question on a piece of paper, fold into a plane, throw at another student, who has to answer.
- Fold up an example case study answer. Throw around room to three different students who have a different coloured pen. Each one will highlight with different colour for use of key terms, developed points, place specific fact. Throw to one more student who will read through, score the answer overall and give a comment before returning to owner.
- Can be for any topic. Could use stickers with labels on for different keywords (e.g. hydraulic action, attrition, etc.). Place label at each end of the Jenga piece. Should use the same word repeated on different Jenga pieces otherwise game will be over really quickly if the bottom piece goes too soon! Play the game in turn: when a student pulls out a piece they must define the keyword, OR have a quiz-master student who reads a definition and then the player has to identify the correct piece and remove it. Alternatively, if you have coloured plastic Jenga (Uno) then you can allocate different colours to different types of questions and just have a list of questions on the go (saves putting labels on the Jenga pieces), e.g. Red = questions on natural hazards, blue = questions on coasts, etc.
- Play the game of twister as usual but have a quiz master on the side. Whenever a student moves to a new spot, they must answer a question correctly. Can also allocate each colour to a type of question and even give them a value. E.g. Red = keyword question worth 1 mark (e.g. what is attrition), Blue = factual recall question worth 2 marks (e.g. what was the death toll for Haiti earthquake), Yellow = explain a process (e.g. explain longshore drift in detail), Green = describe a case study worth 4 marks (must be in detail)
- Create own dominoes games of question and answer, or cause and effect. Requires students to think logically through the order.
- Use lego to make models, e.g. settlement models, earthquake proof buildings, etc.
- Create 3d visual graphs using lego. Makes more visual and easier to interpret.
- Can use real ones or make your own. Pointless = encourages students to ‘plumb the depths’ to find an unusual fact, to recall something that others do not – rewards giving unique answers rather than standard ‘C’ grade easier answers. Articulate = describing game. Write a list of various words and phrases then have 30 seconds to describe as many as possible without using those actual words. 5 Second Rule = Have to name three things in 5 seconds on a particular topic. E.g. 3 types of coastal erosion, 3 facts on tropical storms, etc. Charades = acting out!
- Q+A on balloons. Use felt pens! One student writes a question on a balloon, throws to another one who completes it. Keep it going as long as possible.
