Worksheets for either learning new content or consolidating understanding on the topics of The Brain and The Eye. Answer sheets provided. Simple wording is used for lower ability students to easily access information. The worksheets can be used to provide students with a summary of the information they need to know without students having to write too much - good for lower ability groups. They also help to revise the topics of The Brain and The Eye covering the structure of both organs, the function of each part of the organ, how accommodation works to change the shape of the lens to focus on near or far objects.

This revision game can be played by between 2 - 6 players at a time. Just print as many copies as you need to fit your class size. Print in colour and in A3 size for a more realistic board game presence and use either one/two di©e. Counters can be used to identify where players are at any one time in the game but they don’t need to be . Two forms of the game are provided: A PowerPoint and pdf version which can be printed in eitherA4 or A3 sizes. Roll it Recap Instructions: Roll the dice to choose a column. Roll again to decide the row. Read the multiple choice question and give your answer to the group. One member will use the mark scheme (included - print to A5) to tell you if you are right. Note: Members of the group are not allowed to study the mark scheme and need to return it face down following each use. Each correct answer wins a point. Note: Tally your points as you go on a mini-white board/scrap paper. The person with the most points wins! NOTE: The same question can be asked multiple times so pay close attention because you could land on it next!

This is a whole revision lesson on the linked topics of the digestive system, digestive enzymes and food tests. This lesson incorporates six different learning activities for different learning styles - each with a mark scheme provided. These student-focused activities include links to videos with carefully designed questions to match the video content, exam-style questions, data analysis and interpretation, and a true/false activity. This lesson could either be used in the classroom or equally provided to students that are learning remotely. All activity instructions are given on each slide and the style of the presentation lends itself to independent learning.
