Primary Science Keyword Bingo Game

Posted on Mar 6, 2010 in Activity Ideas, Interactive Whiteboards, Literacy Resources, Science Resources, Useful Links | 0 comments

Heres a link to a great lesson starter/plenary idea from the ICT Games website. Science Bingo. It uses the Primary Science vocab words from the Kent Scheme of work, which will suit most Primary Science classes.

Download a pack of Bingo cards to photocopy for the children – then use the Word generator to select words to cross off the bingo grid.

It’s a simple, fun idea to help with keyword recognition.

Thanks to Jason Dilling (@jasondilling) and James (@Wigglemyears) on Twitter for coming up with the resource!

NeoK12 Educational Videos

Posted on Mar 6, 2010 in Interactive Whiteboards | 0 comments

NeoK12 is a very useful site that catalogues thousands of educational videos for teachers and students to use. They are grouped by topic – with a particular emphasis on Science, but also Social Studies, Maths and Literacy.

There are also links to images and quizzes which could prove handy.

Many of the videos come from YouTube, so you will need to have YouTube access in your school to use them. The benefit of using them from here is that they videos have been vetted by teachers and approved for the site, and because they are embedded into the NeoK12 site there are no problems with comments or adverts that you would get with YouTube.

There’s no videos here that you can’t find elsewhere, but they have done some of the hard work in collating them into one place for easier use.
