SJH GCSE Science Revision Cards


 
Product Description
GCSE Science revision cards from SJH Revision are syllabus specific revision cards. Each pack contains about 80 pocket sized cards. The cards help develop long term memory as well as highlighting areas for extra work. Students enjoy using them as the revise without feeling they are working hard. Great for quick revision in class or at home. Students often use them to play games and parents can help with revision even if they feel less confident with science. The longer style questions in exams are tackled as many answers require students to link several facts they recall from the cards, building up to a high mark.  From SJH Revision

Review

A series of around 80 pocket-sized cards per set comprising over 300 questions and answers, from across the GCSE specification. The revision cards are specification specific and are available for all major exam boards. They use the key terms and phrases required, as well as providing hints and tips on how to answer each question.

How the resource was used

I purchased a set of the AQA materials for the Core Science, Additional Science and separate Biology, Chemistry and Physics GCSE specification. The cards are well written and comprehensively cover all elements of the specification. I have used them as extra material when some students have finished a particular activity and are waiting for their peers to move onto the  next activity. Students can test each other using the ready prepared questions while they are waiting. They have also proved to be a valuable lunch-time revision material for those students who wish to spend a session revising. More able students can make up their own questions but these provide ideas and a basis from which all abilities can move forward and test themselves.

The best thing about this resource

Convenient to hold, clearly written, contain a range of easy and testing questions. Also give students the idea of formulating their own revision cards.
Schools can purchase multiple sets and students can purchase their own sets.

How students responded to it

Those who have used them like them, and those who come along during lunchtime have booked the use of the cards in advance.

Ease of use rating: 5/5
Flexibility rating: 5/5
Value for money rating: 5/5
