A revision poster that includes material needed for section 9 of the edexcel iGCSE combined science double award biology. Section 9 - Uses of biological molecules
A blank copy for students to fill in is also included for students to test their knowledge.
I would recommend to print these in A3 and guide the students through the answers using the completed revision poster attached.
Due to the amount of detail needed to squeeze into one poster, the font is small in some sections which might need some further zooming in on presenting devices.
