Quizzes have always been one of my most favourite moments since school. Students would flock the halls whenever a quiz took place.
At times, the teachers divided the classroom into three groups, row-wise. Then, we had to compete row-wise and answer questions from the teacher. Right or wrong, the aim was to take risks to discover the answer and improve our treasury of knowledge.
Here’s a list of quizzes that schools can organise to make project based learning fun in their classes.
-
Anatomy quiz
It’s important to know the way our body functions. Students can test their knowledge they have about the human body. A quiz after each chapter in the biology class can be a good idea.

Space quiz
For the students that are space enthusiasts, such quizzes can help them to keep their curiosity about the space alive. Give them the space quiz challenge with amazing facts.
Something like “One day on Venus is longer than one year on the Earth” will be great!
3. Food quiz
Teach the students more about what they eat and test them on how much they know about the constituents. Here, teachers can make sessions more interactive and fun. They can allow students to eat food during the quiz.

Geography, at times, seems uninteresting to students. Did you ever enjoy studying about the black soil with a good granular structure on the surface?

Schools have now realized it’s about time! They are bringing changes to the training-testing-repeat method. The Gen Z doesn’t want to memorise dates, formulae and figures by rote.
