A revision poster covering all relevant information put in the specification for biology paper 1 Edexcel Combined science (9-1) Biology paper 1.
Contains the answer sheet.
Created for the modifiations made for 2022.
A quick easy, little to no prep, revision session.
Students come up with questions together and then test each other using the revision game.
How to complete this activity:
Students will be in group sizes 2+
Students will create questions for each category (Slide 2). e.g. If the category is cells it could be - Which part controls the cell?
Leave the questions and categories on the show whilst the students pick 16 questions (4 from each category) and write it in their grid (slide 3)
The person that was born first in the year goes first by calling out grid numbers.
If a person’s answer is hit by this callout they must ask the question. If the person calling the grid number gets the answer correct they score a point.
The 2nd eldest in the year will then call out a grid reference etc.
Keep a score if playing with the entire class on slide 4.

Included is a html file which holds the code for a sound meter, functionality can be seen in the video linked here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MLkyPn4nN5YfDTMdSgeRcWarPW5WGzxE/view?usp=sharing
Are you still using a timer or stopwatch to help with behaviour management? Why not automate the entire process instead?
Functions:
Measures the loudness of audio from your device and registers the loudness according to: silent, quiet, talking and shouting.
The meter will continue measuring even if the programme is minimised.
A quietness meter can be toggled on/off to display score of the quietness visually. Scales of the quietness bar can be customised to suit classes.
The values of duration at each loudness level can be reset if needed and recording of audio can be paused.
Sensitivity of the meter can be changed as needed, reference values for each category is displayed.
Seating arrangement below can be quickly setup by dragging and dropping the shapes above into the grid.
Fixing the tables in the grid allows for pupils (represented by circles in each table) to be clicked and cycle through colours: green, amber and red.
Colours can be used to highlight where key individuals are present in the class.
Tables and colours can be reset as needed.
The audio is not stored, only the loudness is measured and reported into the table for the duration.
The programme is not able to store any audio files for later use.
