Cops and robbers - How much do you know about the moon landing?

The 'Cops and Robbers' activity is an engaging group exercise designed to test and expand pupils' knowledge about the moon landing. In groups of four, each pupil starts by taking two minutes to jot down everything they can recall about the moon landing on the left side of a chart. This part of the activity allows them to independently document their existing knowledge without influence from their peers.

Following this individual recall phase, the pupils then have one minute each to review the work of the other three group members. During this time, they are on the lookout for any new or additional information that they haven't noted themselves. This is the 'robber' aspect of the game, where they 'steal' knowledge from their peers. After this, they have the opportunity to add this newly acquired information to the 'stolen knowledge' section of their chart. Each piece of information recorded is worth two points, incentivising pupils to learn from each other. The entire activity is designed to be a fun and interactive learning experience, taking about 15 minutes to complete.
