The resource consists of a double-sided worksheet comprising 6 examples of oxygen dissociation curves that may differ from a ‘standard’ curve for ‘normal’ haemoglobin for various reasons. Students need to read information on the situation in each case and predict, with detailed reasoning, the shape of the curve most likely for that case.
This serves as a useful consolidation activity and also encourages a re-examination of students’ understanding of dissociation curves so is equally a useful revision resource.
The accompanying mark scheme can be used for self/peer assessment and also to promote discussion in the classroom.

Excellent, easy to understand diagrams, covering a whole range of important scenarios - fit's the spec well and doesn't miss any of the main points out. Could have included a past exam question too, where they ask students to read off of specific values of a graph.
