A fun revision revision resource focusing on the topic Human Transport. Great to be used in the class or as a homework. Just print the sheets back to back and fold down the dotted line. The document consists of the specification points students should be aware of. The activity has 5 pages of tasks focusing on: the composition of the blood: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma adaptations of red blood cells make them suitable for the transport of oxygen how the immune system responds to disease using white blood cells, describe the structure of the heart and how it functions explain how the heart rate changes during exercise and under the influence of adrenaline the structure of arteries, veins and capillaries and how this relates to their function the general structure of the circulation system the factors may increase the risk of developing coronary heart disease

Photosynthesis fold over cards (retrieval practice)

(0)
A technique suggested in the book, Powerlearning. This is a revision technique with self-feedback. Students begin by reading each question and determining which ones they know the answer to and which ones they don’t. Independently, students determine what they know and what requires further study. Students answer the ones they know the answer to and then search for the answers they don’t know. Students then verify the answers they thought were correct. Students can fold the page over and use the questions for revision/retrieval practice.

Help students prepare their revision for the topic of nutrition. The questions cover both plants and animal nutrition including core practicals (Edexcel). I print the document on A3 paper and it takes around 45 - 50 minutes for able students to complete. I allow the task to be an open book activity in preparation for an exam.

A power point lesson which guides students through data in the form of carbon dioxide levels; global temperature; rising sea levels and glacial melting. Students gain practice in data analysis which is vital in this module. There are also a series of exam questions with answers to support their understanding. This lesson links with Edexcel IAL Unit 4

Introduction to Ecology

(0)
A complete lesson which introduces the terminology used in Ecology lessons. We also explore how abiotic and biotic factors can affect a habitat. There are questions to check understanding of knowledge learnt plus independent learning activities. Learning outcomes Recall what is meant by the terms population, community, habitat and ecosystem Understand that the numbers and distribution of organisms in a habitat are controlled by biotic and abiotic factors Understand how the concept of a niche accounts for the distribution and abundance of organisms in a habitat
