This is an engaging and fully-resourced revision lesson which uses a range of exam questions, understanding checks, quick tasks and quiz competitions to enable students to assess their understanding of the content within topic 2 (Cells and control) of the Edexcel GCSE Biology 9-1 specification.
The specification points that are covered in this revision lesson include:
- Describe mitosis as part of the cell cycle, including the stages interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase and cytokinesis
- Describe the importance of mitosis in growth, repair and asexual reproduction
- Describe the division of a cell by mitosis as the production of two daughter cells, each with identical sets of chromosomes in the nucleus to the parent cell, and that this results in the formation of two genetically identical diploid body cells
- Explain the importance of cell differentiation in the development of specialised cells
- Discuss the potential benefits and risks associated with the use of stem cells in medicine
- Describe the structures and functions of the brain including the cerebellum, cerebral hemispheres and medulla oblongata
- Explain how the difficulties of accessing brain tissue inside the skull can be overcome by using CT scanning and PET scanning to investigate brain function
- Explain the structure and function of sensory receptors, sensory neurones, relay neurones in the CNS, motor neurones and synapses in the transmission of electrical impulses, including the axon, dendron, myelin sheath and the role of neurotransmitters
- Explain the structure and function of the eye as a sensory receptor including the role of the cornea, lens and iris
- Describe defects of the eye including cataracts, longsightedness and short-sightedness
- Explain how long-sightedness and short-sightedness can be corrected
The students will thoroughly enjoy the range of activities, which include quiz competitions such as "Can I have a P please BOB” where they have to recognise the different phases of mitosis from pictures or descriptions. The activities will crucially enable the students to determine which areas of topic 2 will need their further attention. This lesson can be used as revision resource at the end of the topic or in the lead up to mocks or the actual GCSE exams.

I ran a drop down GCSE Biology revision day for our year 11s. Using the revision lessons available from GJH Education as part of the learning and activities was very effective. Every one of the 90 pupils that attended engaged very well with the material and enjoyed them too (which was a bonus!). Much of the feedback that I received was about how they didn't realise that they were learning because it was fun. The brilliant thing is that they were able to retrieve what they had learnt that day a few weeks later. Fabulous, well thought out resources that are A*, many thanks!
