Revision guide for AQA GSCE psychology. This includes bullet points of content according to the specification and homework grids from each topic area which are exam questions that students can complete. I get them to choose one a week to keep content fresh in their minds when working through paper 2 content.

Marking stickers designed to speed up and ease marking and feedback. All are based on either A01. A02 or A03, and have been designed to support KS4. Both praise stickers and how students can improve on the sheets. You will need 65 per sheet address stickers/labels.

Lesson power point on essential content A1. Genetic inheritance, including inherited conditions and predisposition to other conditions. This covers 2-3 lessons in total. Students to identify the physical and lifestyle factors that effect health on each of the images: Diet. Ill health, personal hygiene, exercise, genetic inheritance and substance misuse. Students should justify why each one can effect an individuals health.Students are to discuss any conditions that they are aware of that are inherited. Students are then to identify the genetic conditions from images provided: cystic fibrosis, downs syndrome and Huntington’s disease.I recommend videos to introduce the conditions in the lesson. Included in notes on the power point. Students to have a discussion on how cystic fibrosis and downs syndrome effects PIES. (physical, intellectual, emotional and social development). Random students chosen to feed back discussions. Students are to create an informational flyer on one of the conditions. They should include provide symptoms, any positive and negative effects it has on health, how it effects PIES, treatment and steps to take to improve the persons life chances. I would suggest students have access to textbooks or the internet to gather further information on each. I also recommend the following video to show how some people may be able to see positive features in having some of the conditions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJLSj43nSiI Teacher explains predisposition to the class. Students to note down a definition of the key term. Students should also compare inheritance of a condition to predisposition of a condition. Students to choose a condition and research it with the same content as the previous activity. Symptoms of the three conditions shared with students and class discussion focuses on treatments and ways to improve life chances. Doctor Doctor role play activity: Students can use the symptom flash card for any of the four predisposed conditions. (included) Students are to go to the doctor (who has researched the relevant condition) with their symptoms. The ‘doctor’ needs to discuss the condition with the patient and from the information from their research activity explain the positive and negative effects on their health that the condition could have. The ‘doctor’ should then recommend how the patient can improve their life chances. Students will then swop roles with a different predisposed condition. Students should record any information they require. Test your knowledge questions worth 8 marks and homework to write a diary entry discussing an average day living with the condition and how it affects PIES.

Introductory power point lesson focuses on essential content A1. Factors affecting health & wellbeing: Definition of health & wellbeing: a combination of physical health and social and emotional wellbeing, and not just the absence of disease or illness. Students to identify the health issues on each of the images: Chicken pox, flu, broken bone, hay fever, eczema, stress. Explain that stress is also a health issue and not just a headache which may be a common misconception Component three learning objectives shared on slide & summary of essential content A, B and C shared. Planning for progress grid included in slides which include learning objectives. I would recommend you tube link to introduction video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGxPL37j234 as an introductory video to what is health & wellbeing and is embedded on the power point. Students spilt their page into four. They have two minutes to write/ draw/annotate information that they know about health and wellbeing. I.e.; what types of health? What illnesses? What is wellbeing? Instructions on slide. Negative and positive view of health is shown on the slide and a discussion of holistic and why it is important to consider this when looking at health should be conducted. Students should explain in their exercise books what holistic means and why it is important to health. Four images shown on the power point. Students to discuss the four examples and justify whether they should be considered as healthy or not based on the information provided. Students should be prepared to feed back. Different aspects of health are shown and students are to discuss what aspects they believe come under each type of health involves. Students to copy down the holistic diagram with a short explanation. This is repeated for wellbeing. The different types of health are explained and it should also be linked into mental health and how it is our ability to cope with everyday life’s and the stress and worries that they bring. If we cope well we can maintain a good mental health and therefore able to think clearly. Test your knowledge questions based on learning worth 5 marks. Task: You want to discover if a person aged either 18, 30 or 45 has a good health and wellbeing. Write 6 questions for one person from one of the ages to answer so it can be anaylsed to see if they are healthy or not. There must be at least one question based on physical, social, emotional and intellectual health. Students may then peer assess one another’s work.
