Knowledge Quiz: Chemistry
The Knowledge Quiz series is a deviously simple and effective way for students to revise for GCSE subjects. Put together by teaching experts, these easy-to-use books feature tear-out quizzes to help students memorise the large body of knowledge that form the basis of success in exams. Rather than just flicking through revision cards expecting things to stick in your memory, self-quizzing allows students to complete multiple copies of the same quiz and keep doing them until you get them right every time. This edition will help students to effectively drill the essential facts necessary for success in the GCSE Chemistry exam.

Adam Boxer, has done a great service for teachers of GCSE Chemistry, not only has he produced this book but he has selflessly shared a whole series of workbooks for GCSE Chemistry on his wordpress blog ‘A Chemical Orthodoxy’.
Boxer also devised a retrieval roulette: 'a simple system to embed regular retrieval practice into their lessons' (check out his blog for further details). This book could be seen as a physical manifestation of the retrieval roulettes.
This book like others in the series follows the same format: a set of usually 12 questions on a particular topic and an answer key, a tracker and a list of the questions with blanks for students to complete the answers. These they can then self-check using the answer key. A simple but effective format.
Suggestions for the next edition:
Separate out the higher tier questions on separate pages
Have in addition quizzes that cover several different topics on one page.
Produce a photocopiable version.
If you are studying GCSE Chemistry do yourself a favour and get a copy; if you are teaching GCSE Chemistry follow the author on twitter as well @adamboxer1 - and check out the #cogscisci hashtag.
