This resource contains an engaging PowerPoint (33 slides) and accompanying worksheets, some of which have been differentiated so that students of different abilities can access the work.
The resource is filled with a wide range of activities, each of which has been designed to engage and motivate the students whilst ensuring that the key Biological content is covered in detail. Understanding checks are included throughout so that the students can assess their grasp of the content. In addition, previous knowledge checks make links to content from earlier topics such as cancer.
The following content is covered in this lesson:
- The functions of the cerebral cortex, medulla and cerebellum
- Identification of the regions of the brain on an external and internal diagram
- The early use of stroke victims to identify functions
- The key details of the MRI scanning technique
- The difficulties of diagnosing and treating brain disorders and disease
As stated at the top, this lesson has been designed for GCSE-aged students who are studying the AQA GCSE Biology course, but it can be used with A-level students who need to go back over the key points before looking at the functionality of the regions in more detail

Just a tiny tweak to remove the team play element, and it was perfect for my triple scientists. The revision of previous topics went down well - they really enjoyed it! And I was happy with the content coverage. Thanks!
