AQA GCSE PE (9-1) Paper 1: Human body Easter revision

This detailed and interactive powerpoint is specifically aimed at increasing students’ knowledge, understanding and application of chapters 1 to 3. It includes a range of tasks to cover all learning and teaching styles. Below is a breakdown of the different sections and tasks included:
 Section 1) Memory recall multiple choice questions for chapter 1; musculo-skeletal, cardio-respiratory and aerobic / anaerobic exercise. Answers are all included at the end of each section. I did this individually!
 Section 2) Locating major bones, muscles and joints of the human body. I printed off each diagram / slide on A3 and gave the students post-it notes to go round and show their knowledge initially. Students started off on one picture and added as much information as they could in the allotted time and then rotated around to the next to see if they could add any more information etc. I did this in small groups!
 Section 3) Anatomical structure and function of the heart. I printed off the diagram of the the heart 1 for each student and organised students into groups of 4 or 5 and gave each them the cue cards with the structural features that they needed to know. Once completed we went into the sports hall and got the groups to visually make the pathway of blood and walk their way through it using different colour cones. I did this in small groups!
 Section 4) Lung volumes and labelling spirometer trace. I printed off the blank spirometer trace and got students to label it, define the key volumes and capacities and encouraged them to think about what happens during exercise. I did this in small groups!
 Section 5) Effects of exercise. I printed off the effects of exercise timeline and got students to organise them into immediate effects, short term effects and long term adaptations. I did this in small groups!
 Section 6) Planes & Axes of rotation. I brought in some playdough and got the students to split their model in half to highlight the planes of movement and then use cocktail sticks to highlight how they rotate. I did this in small groups!
 Section 7) Levers. Guess the lever system. I got students to apply the 3 components of the lever system to specific sporting examples in small groups. I did this in small groups!
 Section 8) Components of fitness & fitness testing. I printed off the mix and match cards and firstly got the students to match the definition and fitness test to each component of fitness. They then had to rank the components of fitness for a range of different sports justifying their choices. I did this in small groups!

I hope you and your students find these resources useful.
