Revision lesson from AQA Unit 4.2 Organisation GCSE Biology, suitable for both triple and combined science awards. The resource includes content on digestion and enzymes, plus exam practice specific to 6 mark questions.

Updated to include fully editable final slide! This revision/plenary resource covers the complete specification for AQA Combined Science – Trilogy unit 4.3 Infection & response (Biology only content add-on available separately). The PowerPoint contains an intricate mindmap that encourages students to develop links within this topic; which teaches about communicable disease, pathogens, defense systems, vaccination, and drug discovery & development; helping them to gain a greater depth of understanding of the unit. To use this resource, print out any of the slides (best on A3) then students can use their own notes/textbooks to fill in the bubbles and make the links. Can be used as a timed team game – allow each member of the team 1 minute to view the complete version then they race to fill in as much of their copy in 2 minutes as they can remember, repeat for each team member. Then ask the team to reflect on their mindmap and fill in any gaps using their own knowledge. It also works well as an individual task for a quiet summary/revision activity. For students that find it overwhelming to view the whole sheet I suggest covering half with plain paper and working on a section at a time to gradually build up the full picture.
