Pupils need as much practice as possible to master new ideas; they need Shed Loads of Practice (SLOP). Practice forces pupils to think about content. But their quality of thinking will be determined by the quality of questions teachers write.

In this blog, I outline principles for writing good practice. It goes along with a video I have recorded as part of the #CogSciSci curriculum series.

The examples I use are all for biology, but the principles apply to all sciences.
