I am a biology teacher who has many years’ experience working in the social care sector including managing care homes and home care services. I have been teaching health and social care and science since 2015, mostly to level 3 students. I believe learning is an active process helped by visualization of the processes. I create visual resources for both health and social care and science including BTEC and Cambridge Technicals in health and social care, BTEC applied science and GCSE biology.

Lymphatic and immune system wheel of fortune for BTEC level 3 health and social care unit 3: Anatomy and Physiology
Help students gain mastery of the lymphatic and immune systems with this fun wheel of fortune game. Research shows that students learn better when learning is fun and has an element of competition to it. The game includes 20 questions that require more thought than simple recall questions. This will help develop students’ skills in answering the exam questions with higher marks. Students can be divided into teams and take turns in spinning the wheel to reveal which question they will need to answer. The question cards should be laid question side down in front of the class. Spin the wheel to reveal which number question should be answered next. If the question has already been answered correctly that student has been let off the hook. When a student answers the question, it is up to you whether you feel they have given a good enough answer. This allows for differentiation.
This resource includes:
• A PowerPoint spinning wheel to randomly select numbers from 1 to 20.
• A set of 20 question cards with questions on one side and a number from 1 to 20 on the other.
• An answer sheet with suggested answers for each question to help you determine whether a student has given a full enough answer.
The game can last as long as you like. If short of time, you can use it as a starter activity selecting just one or two questions to be answered by the whole class. Or you can take longer and play the game until all answers have been answered adequately.
If you like this resource, why not try the respiratory system wheel of fortune which includes 30 questions on the processes involved in the respiratory system.
If you would like more revision games for anatomy and physiology, why not try the anatomy and physiology revision game bundle which includes different games for each of the different topics for this unit.
Designed for AQA 9-1 GCSE Biology. This resource consists of a worksheet and a revision game to test the knowledge of the students and aid with revision.
The worksheet consists of two pages and includes diagrams to label and a series of questions on prokaryotes, eukaryotes and cell structure. It is available in printable and editable PDF and comes with the answers.
The revision game includes 30 unique bingo cards containing key words relating to cell structure and prokaryotes and eukaryotes. There are also work prompts with a tick box next to each term so that you can call out the terms in random order. Each term has a clue to make students recall their memory of cell structure before they can decide whether they have the term on their card or not.

This 7-page illustrated notebook on cell structure is available in both printable and editable PDF to allow for choice and comes with a completed version.
Research has proven that students learn best when notes are written in their own words. This is partly because students have to think more clearly about the topic when they have to put it into words whichthey would not do if they copy from a PowerPoint. It is also because they are more likely to understand it later if it is in their own words. This notebook encourages students to write their own notes whilst guiding them on what to write the notes about.
It is designed to be used alongside other learning activities about the topic. It can also be used as a revision aid where students can try to complete the pages from memory.
Biology is a subject that benefits from a good imagination in order to visualise the structures and processes involved. The high quality illustrations used in this notebook enable students to develop good visualisations to help them learn.
