How was it used?

Our Yr 10 pupils used the bilingual interactive resource on Acids and Alkali from the NGfL Cymru website to revise about the strength of acids and alkali.

Then, they used Photo Story to create podcasts about the topic to help each other revise for their exams. Their podcasts were uploaded on our Scienceatcroesy website, so they could use them at home and with their parents too.

Impact and Outcomes

• Pupils enjoyed the activity and understood the differences between Acids and Alkali
• Boys were particularly engaged in creating a resource where they did not need to write much, but could just input their oral comments.
• Learners’ communication skills improved as they could revise their comments on each frame of their Photo Story slide show.

Learner Feedback

We really liked doing the podcasts, because we could record our voice and it was fun!

Using Photo Story was really easy and fun. I understood how to use it straight away

I hope we will use these resources again, because they gave me the chance to participate in the lesson more and enjoy myself more

Other Resources

Photo Story, laptops and headsets.

Lesson Learnt

I thoroughly enjoyed the activity and I was a bit worried some pupils would not be engaged in this task, but they all seemed to be interested and work well. The technology I used (Photo Story) is very simple and that helped building my confidence to explore other tools that could be used in a similar way.
