This resource provides an engaging and interactive revision activity for Edexcel AS Biology, focusing on Topic 2: Membranes, Proteins, DNA, and Gene Expression. Designed to help students consolidate their understanding of key concepts, this Taboo-style game promotes active learning and collaboration, making complex biological terminology more accessible and memorable.
The game covers the following subtopics:
2A: Membranes and Transport – including the structure and function of biological membranes, membrane transport mechanisms (e.g., diffusion, osmosis, active transport), and the role of proteins in transport
2B: Proteins and DNA – including the structure of proteins, enzymes, and nucleic acids, as well as the processes involved in protein synthesis and the importance of DNA in cellular function
2C: Gene Expression and Genetics – including the mechanisms of gene expression, regulation of transcription and translation, genetic variation, and inheritance patterns
This revision activity challenges students to describe key terms without using specific restricted words, helping them to reinforce their knowledge and master the vocabulary essential for understanding biological processes. It’s ideal for revision, a starter task, plenary, or small-group activity.
Features of the resource include:
A comprehensive set of 100 Taboo-style Biology cards covering crucial vocabulary from Topic 2
Clear teacher instructions for easy and effective delivery
Print-friendly, easy-to-use format perfect for classroom use
Flexible options for individual, pair, or group activities
