Twig

Twig features thousands of high-quality, curriculum-aligned science, maths and geography videos for students aged 11–16, along with worksheets, lesson plans, quizzes and diagrams. Twig resources are easy to use, slotting into existing lesson plans and being particularly suited to distance learning, with a built-in Assignment feature that lets teachers set homework and view progress. 

Twig videos come in a range of categories:

• Curriculum videos provide core learning, directly aligned to national and international curricula.
• Context videos place learning in real-world settings, encouraging students to see how science impacts the world around them.
• Glossary videos provide concise, clear explanations of hundreds of key terms paired with visual, contextual examples. 
• Experiment videos show step-by-step laboratory procedures, with accompanying resource guides and learning materials.

Twig films can be used in a variety of different ways – as an introduction to new topics, to provide visual reinforcement of instruction, or as revision. Twig allows students to learn at their own pace. Students who find topics difficult can watch videos again, using glossary videos as additional aids, while others can use Twig’s unique Mindmap and the topic extension questions to explore further and extend their knowledge. Onscreen keywords, closed captions and downloadable transcripts make Twig videos accessible to students with additional support needs or those whose second language is English.
