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.

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.

This anatomy and physiology game is aimed at BTEC level 3 Nationals in Health and Social Care unit 3 to aid revision prior to the exam. It consists of a board game with 400 questions which cover every aspect of the unit. The questions come as question cards with the question on one side and the answer on the other (you will need to print it double sided for this to work). The question cards can be used as part of a game with 2-6 players or they could be used as flashcards for just one student to test themselves. In addition, the questions are also available with question next to answer so they can be used to generate smaller anatomy and physiology practice games. Two different game boards have been included.
