Interactive Amplify (IA) sits at the Interactive row and Amplify column of the PICRAT grid. Below: real Pe lessons for KS3 that classify as IA, plus anti-examples that look IA but are not.
Peer video review of athletic technique
In pairs, students film each other performing a chosen athletic technique (e.g. a tennis serve, a netball pass, a high jump approach). They each post their own video to a class Padlet column for that technique. Students then watch three classmates' videos and post a one-line annotation about technique on each. The teacher samples annotations and identifies common patterns.
Tools: Padlet
Pulse-rate data collection across class
Each student records their resting pulse rate, then their pulse after 30 seconds of jumping jacks, then again after one minute of recovery. They post all three values to a shared class spreadsheet. The class scrolls and the teacher discusses class-wide patterns (range of resting rates, recovery rate variability).
Tools: Google Sheets
Tactics analysis on shared formation diagrams
Each student gets a Jamboard frame with the same blank pitch diagram (e.g. football, basketball or netball). They draw a formation that they think is most effective for a particular game scenario the teacher poses (e.g. defending a one-goal lead with five minutes to go). The class scrolls all formations and the teacher highlights the strongest tactical reasoning.
