- BBC bitesize - I love BBC bitesize, and you should too. Go to their home page (http://www.bbc.co.uk/education) and click on your key stage in the England column (KS3 is usually years 7 and 8 and GCSE is years 9, 10 and 11). You can then choose your subject and topic. If you cannot find what you are looking for there is a search bar in the top right hand corner. There are revision notes to read, videos and animations to watch, quizzes to complete and games to play.
- Watch videos - Youtube has loads of revision videos to watch, although some are better than others. For KS3 students I would advise watching anything by Bill Nye the Science Guy. Just search ‘bill nye’ and the topic you want to revise. This is the video for cells - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHjsQeXjc2g . If you are a little older it may be helpful putting ‘KS4’ before the topic, or GCSE, for example ‘KS4 Cells’ or ‘GCSE cells’ (or check out my youtube channel - Miss Weightman with some useful playlists for you to watch and help with revision).
- Quizlet (https://quizlet.com/)- This is a website full of quizzes and games for thousands of topics to help you revise. You can even sign up and create quizzes to share with others. There is a search bar which allows you to specifically search what you want to revise, for examples I searched ‘GCSE bonding’ and got over 500 quizzes to try. I have made a quizlet link page to quizzes I think are good for my current classes .
- Download a revision app - If you go onto an app store (google play may be a good place to start) and search 'science' you will find lots of apps to help with science learning. You can search for different subjects and age range specific apps which are free to download and will support you in your revision.
- Websites made by teachers - Doc Brown is a great source of simple information, and Mr Thornton on you tube posts revision videos and playlists to watch. This playlist is on structure and bonding in GCSE chemistry, but there are many more.
