Help your A Level Biology students understand the complicated process of producing action potentials with these fun illustrated Doodle Notes!
These note sheets review the production of generator potentials. Clear diagrams help students to visualize each stage in the reaction. There are multiple versions of the Doodle Notes for easy differentiation. Use the scaffolded fill-in-the-blanks version to support students or the open response version to increase challenge. Assign the color versions for digital learning with a PDF editor like Kami or print them for high engagement.
My Doodle Notes are zero prep – just print and go!There is a completed example to model the Doodle Notes for your students or let them check their answers.
