4.2 Organisation
AQA GCSE Biology, trilogy or synergy revision mats/grids
These simple revision mats, similar to the full set I have written for chemistry, can be printed A3 with a single sheet forming a revision activity for an entire topic. The sheets include a mixture of cloze word fact sections with recall and exam style questions. Biology only and higher tier content is marked along with content linked to the required practicals (RP3, RP4 etc).
Contains 12 mats for unit 2 as Powerpoint and PDF answer grids also included.
These 12 printable A3/A4 mats cover the following content:
Unit 2 - Organisation
Mat 1 - Principles of organisation
Mat 2 - The human digestive system

Huge pack of resources to teach a module on thinking skills and metacognitive approaches to science exam questions. Aimed at year 10/11 double or triple scientists. The resources focus on skills and contain examples from biology, chemistry and physics.
The questions selected can usually be answered from the information in the question meaning this work can be incorporated into teaching without worrying too much about where you are in the syllabus. Mark schemes are included.
Metacognition, which includes ideas such as learning to learn and developing thinking skills, can be applied to the way students tackle examination questions. This scheme of learning and accompanying lessons and resources,for science skills, breaks down the different types of questions that students meet and supports them to find learned strategies that work for them in how to tackle those questions.
Each skill comes complete with a PowerPoint, worksheet and mark scheme. The resources are based on AQA materials but the skills are transferable across other exam boards. All three sciences: biology, chemistry and physics, are covered.
Connections and tick boxes
Data in tables
Graphs
Data in bar and pie charts
Comprehension and application
Command words
Complicated diagrams
Extended response questions
Professor Bunsen resources are tested in school and make GCSE science engaging and exciting. Most importantly it could save you and your school time!
The accompanying worksheet allows students to practice and for you to give feedback and help them to improve. The answers are included to help the busy teacher or non-specialist.
