Overview
Friday Afternoon Biology is packed with many fun and engaging revision activities. The activities have been chosen to allow students to apply their knowledge using a variety of learning styles, and to review and reinforce their understanding of key terms and concepts. They include a host of popular games like bingo, dominoes and a range of card games. These enjoyable activities make revision exercises fun and can be used at any point within a lesson. The pack is fully photocopiable and once the teacher has a set of cards prepared they can be used over and over with all groups, bringing variety and fun to any revision session. The free CD-ROM provides a PDF version of the pack for easy printing. Also included in the pack: a specification matching chart to allow easy integration into any course, answers, suggested timings and teaching notes.
