ICT resources for science teachers

8. Pulling it together

In the preceding 7 workshops you have been introduced to a range of useful tools for science teachers.

In this activity, you will draw together all of the skills that you have practised in the last few activities, by creating a sample worksheet, test, or exam paper that could be used in your classroom.

Follow these steps to complete this activity. Be sure to create a document(s) that you will find useful for your classroom teaching.
