This great interactive activity has been designed as a consolidation or revision activity with GCSE or A Level Students studying the digestive system. It is aimed at middle to higher ability students, although with support it could be used with KS3 or lower ability students.
The card sort can be used in a number of different ways, but I generally get my students to at first cut out or colour code the heading cards and then sort the matching information cards on the digestive system. They then share their answers and we briefly review their answers at this stage.
In the next stage of the lesson, I then ask them then organise the information into the correct columns in their books to show how the digestive system works. If necessary we might again review their answers before we stick the cards down.
Finally, I then ask them to create and produce their own revision flash cards using the information from the card sort and the main class text book.
When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a two page Word Document which can be edited and customised for your students. It contains instructions, a learning objective, 6 heading cards and 31 information which can be sorted to decribe how the digestion system works. I have also uploaded a two page Word Document - Card Sort Digestion Answers for you to display the answers on the board.
The aims and objectives of this lesson are:
Theme: Human Digestive System
Can You Describe: How the human digestion system works?
Can you Explain: How the digestive system breaks down large molecules of food so it can be absorbed into the bloodstream?
Can You Create: A set of GCSE revision flash cards on the digestive system.
