Recording sound using Audacity
Statistical Analysis Techniques
I do many assemblies so I know how time consuming they are. All of my assemblies are based on a PowerPoint. Please feel free to use or amend any of the resources below.

You might be able to find a use for this countdown timer.
I made an 'Akosombo Dam Deal or No Deal'. It's a nice starter to recap on previous work.
This is another starter in the form of Play Your Cards Right using TNCs.
Click here for a great website that makes online jigsaw puzzles of anything and adds a timer. This works really well as a starter, especially for introducing a new topic. Below are three starter activity puzzles that I use for introducing a new module on Coffee to year 9s. I get students to guess the topic of the new module by completing the puzzles in time.
Download a more able and less able version of a year 9 development crossword.
This is a board game activity that I've recently done with a year 9 group studying development. The activity could easily be amended to suit another topic. There are some templates included for the less enthusiastic members of your group!
Click here for a Geography aerial photography quiz that I recently made for the Bristol GA Committee. It's too hard for students, but you might be able to use it for something.
I have loads of G&T resources that I share through consultancy work. The following are useful if you are a tutor or G&T coordinator, but have nothing to do with geography!
Student Voice questionnaire - for those of you looking at this as a result of my presentation at the recent SW Gate conference, the user manual is also included.
These one off lessons are all here as I didn't know where else to put them!

Recording sound using Audacity
Audacity is free to download. It will record any sound coming from your computer, which you can then edit. I've used the programme loads to record radio programmes, which I've then edited down to suit my needs.
Click here to see an example of a radio 4 programme that I've edited down. The programme was discussing how many people live on a dollar a day, and what that figure means in reality. There is also a worksheet to go with this resource
