Teaching notes
This resource consists of seven revision stations which can be set up around the
classroom. Each revision station consists of a set of cards. Each set includes a task card
(including a learning objective), four or five picture cards, an extension activity and
hints cards. The cards could be laminated so they can be used again.
Split the class up into groups of four. The groups will move around the different
stations. Give each student a role card. The groups should make notes of their answers.
Follow up the activity by asking groups to report back their answers for a certain station
to the rest of the class.
A timer could be used to ensure that students get round all of the stations, try our
Teachit Timer.
Differentiate the work by asking different groups to visit a certain set of stations.
Additional equipment:
envelopes for the hints and extension cards
graph paper
playdough
scrap paper
calculators.

Revision station 2
Start with a ball of playdough, show how you can apply forces in different ways to
change its shape.
Draw a picture of each shape, describe how you made it and add arrows to show the
forces you used.
Roll the dough back into a ball for the next group.

Revision Station 6
Activity 1
Use the graph to write a short story.
Revision station 6
Activity 2
Read the story and then plot a graph of their movements.
Adam and Jonathan start from home to go to school. They have walked for 15
minutes when they spotted an ice cream van. They stop there for 5 minutes
before they continue their journey to school. They arrive in school 10 minutes
after they left ice cream van. They stayed there for 40 minutes and then they
returned home.

What is the speed of the front cyclist relative to the other cyclist?
What is the speed of the slower cyclist relative to a walker following the bikes at 4
km/h?
Revision station 7
Imagine you are sitting in a moving train (travelling at 40 km/h) and it goes past another
train (travelling at 20 km/h) in the same direction. How fast is the fast train relative to
the slow train?
From your seat in the fast train what would you notice about the direction and speed of
the slower train relative to your train?
