What is available for student revision for the Science course?
The Oxford University Press textbooks are of course a good place to start.
The Science books have a two-page spread at the end of each module setting out what students need to know. This includes both 'Science explanations' and 'Ideas about science'. See C21 publications from OUP. Students could use a copy of these as a checklist of what they are confident about.
Teachers could use selective slides from the OUP Ipack as prompts, getting students to identify key ideas in each module. Other prompts could be experiments, or newspaper headlines.
