This is a fully-resourced revision lesson that has been written to challenge students on their knowledge and understanding of the PAPER 2 topics. The range of tasks will prepare the students to answer the range of questions that they may encounter on topics B1 and B6 - B9 as detailed in the Pearson Edexcel GCSE Combined Science specification.

The lesson has been designed to take place on the PAPER 2 HIGH STREET and the tasks include exam-style questions with displayed mark schemes, engaging quiz competitions and discussion points to allow the following points to be covered:

• Eukaryotic vs Prokaryotic cells
• Converting between units of size
• The structures of the animal and plant cells
• The structure of the human heart
• Calculating the surface area to volume ratio
• Adaptations of the gas exchange system
• The blood vessels associated with the human heart
• Calculating the cardiac output
• The features of the root hair cell to allow for absorption
• The nitrogen cycle
• The relationship between the rate of photosynthesis and light intensity and distance
• Using the inverse square law calculation
• Temperature and photosynthesis
• The regulation of blood glucose by the release of insulin and glucagon
• Diabetes type I and II
• Calculating the BMI
• The interaction of the reproductive hormones in the menstrual cycle
• IVF as assisted reproductive technology
• The hormonal and barrier methods of contraception
• Eutrophication as a negative human interaction in an ecosystem
• The carbon cycle

In order to cater for the range of abilities that can be found in Combined Science classes, most of the tasks have been differentiated. There are also a number of step by step guides to demonstrate how to tackle some of the more difficult concepts including the mathemetical elements
