I also have bundles for paper 2 and all units as well as revision resources that I use on the run up to mocks and exam season.
A huge amount of effort has gone into these resources and I hope you find them useful. Your feedback really appreciated
Created using the OCR Gateway GCSE Biology specification.

3.1 Coordination and control - the nervous system
3.2 Coordination and control - the endocrine system
3.3 Maintaining internal environments
Higher content is distinguished by using light grey boxes, Biology only indicated by green (B) and practical and maths skills indicated by icons in the corner.
Top ways to use this resource:
Print off as a booklet and use alongside teaching
Set as homework
Revision lessons for tests and exams
Print off on card to create active recall flashcards

The activity is designed to check that students have an understanding of the topic and encourages independent working. I advise my students to use notes or a textbook before asking the teacher if they do not know the answer.
Each side takes students roughly an hour to complete. I have used as homeworks, support sessions, revision lessons private study tasks and printed on card and cut to use as revision cards
All other topics available.
