For BTEC level 3 Applied Science unit 1: Prinicples and Applications 1 - Biology This 8-page illustrated notebook on cell specialisation is available in both printable and editable PDF to allow for choice and comes with a completed version. I have also included a self-test version where students can fill in a page then click the link at the bottom of the page to check the answer. 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 which they 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 – the self-test version is ideal for this purpose. Research has also highlighted the effectiveness of dual coding to aid student understanding and recall. This notebook makes maximum use of dual coding with the use of high-quality illustrations.

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.

Nervous system catchphrase for BTEC level 3 health and social care unit 3: Anatomy and Physiology Make learning fun by using this revision game incorporating 20 questions on nervous system structure and function. Students enjoy playing catchphrase and are familiar with the rules of the game. Students can work in teams to earn points by answering questions correctly. You can allocate one point per correct answer and three points for guessing what the picture is showing. This will ensure students answer all the questions rather than the game being over as soon as the picture has been guessed correctly. Teams can win on points even if they do not guess the picture. The picture also ensures that students can identify structures from pictures which is a key skill in the exam. The game allows number tile to be reset if a student does not answer a question correctly. The same question can then be answered by other students later. This resource includes: • A PowerPoint including the picture slide which will be gradually uncovered as students answer questions correctly. Each number tile is a link to a specific question. • A PDF answer sheet The game is designed to be played at the end of the topic and will take about 15 minutes to complete. If you like this game, why not try the Anatomy and Physiology revision game bundle which includes different games for each main topic of the unit.

Specialist subject quiz game for BTEC level 3 health and social care unit 3: Anatomy and Physiology. Many students struggle to retain information they learned weeks or months ago. It is always a good idea to revisit topics at regular intervals. This specialist subject PowerPoint quiz covers the first five topics of the unit with six questions for each topic and six bonus points if the student gets the initial question correct. I have always found that students enjoy revision more if it is fun. Adding an element of competition helps to make learning fun. The game is designed to be played in teams with a few different ways it can be played. You could have five teams (one for each topic) and either allocate or get students to choose their specialist topic. Alternatively, you could have just two teams and ask individual students to choose which topic to answer a question from. This method has the added bonus of indicating to you which topic students are least confident with. The resource includes a PowerPoint with specialist subject quiz comprising six main questions each on cells, tissues, organs, energy and genetics. Answers are included in the game. If the student gets the first question correctly they will get a point for their team and the opportunity to answer a bonus question to gain an extra point. The game is designed to take up part of a lesson for anatomy and physiology revision before starting on the next topic. It usually takes around half an hour to complete. If you like this resource, there are two other specialist subject quizzes covering most other aspects of the course. If you would like more revision activities and games a bundle containing different games for each topic is also available.

Reproductive system bingo for BTEC level 3 health and social care unit 3: Anatomy and Physiology. Students learn best when you make learning fun. I have always found that bingo is a firm favourite of students no matter which level of learning they are at. I usually have a box of prizes for the winner of the line and the full house to choose from for added motivation. The reproductive system includes a lot of new and complicated key terms which students can find difficult to learn and remember. This bingo game includes 20 of these key terms with 30 unique bingo cards to ensure you have enough for your class. By asking questions rather than just reading out the key term, students must first answer the question correctly before they can determine whether that key term is on their bingo card. This game can also be played in pairs and small groups to encourage discussion about the question enabling deeper learning. This resource includes: • PDF bingo cards with two cards per sheet. • PDF question sheet with tick box so you can tick off which questions you have asked. The resource can be used at the beginning or end of a lesson and will probably take about 15-20 minutes to complete. If you would like to test your students’ understanding of the processes relating to reproduction, why not try the reproductive maze game which includes 43 questions on the reproductive system. Enjoyed bingo? Homeostasis bingo is also available. If you would like more revision games to make learning fun, why not try the Anatomy and Physiology revision game bundle.

Tissue Guess Who for BTEC level 3 health and social care unit 3: anatomy and physiology I find that students find it difficult to differentiate between the different types of tissues. Tissues can be divided into to specific groups making it the perfect subject for a game of Guess Who. Each student or small team should have a set of cards laid out in front of them in four rows of four. Each student can choose (or have chosen) a tissue that the other team has to guess. They must take it in turn to ask the other team about their tissue to gradually eliminate possibilities and eventually guess their tissue. To avoid random guesses, students are not allowed to guess the actual tissue until they are down to just two options. Instead, they could eliminate tissues by asking questions about the type of tissue (connective, muscle?) or functions or locations within the body. When tissues have been eliminated, those cards should be turned face down. This is a surprisingly challenging game as students need to know a lot of features of all the tissues in order to correctly eliminate cards. Playing in small teams allows students to discuss features with each other enhancing their learning further. The resource consists of two PDF sheets containing 8 tissue cards each. Remember to print single sided in order to cut the cards out. It is a good revision game to bring out any time after the main topic has been covered and will last about half an hour. If you like this resource, why not try the anatomy and physiology revision game bundle which includes different games for each of the different topics for this unit.

Cardiovascular system blockbusters for BTEC health and social care unit 3: anatomy and physiology Students love a team game to help them revise for a specific topic.

The object of the game is to answer questions correctly to change the tiles on the game board to their team colour. The blue team must create a blue path across the board while the white team must create a path vertically from top to bottom. The letters in the game tiles are the first letter(s) of the answers. Where there are two or more letters, the answer consists of two or more words. Click on the blue oval to change the tile blue and on the white oval within the game tile to turn the tile white. This resource includes: • PowerPoint blockbusters game which includes 25 questions, one for each game tile. • Answer sheet arranged in alphabetical order. This is an ideal plenary or starter activity and will take about 15 minutes to complete. Alternatively, it can be used as a revision activity several weeks after the topic has been completed.
