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.

Are you frustrated when students blindly copy notes of the board without taking any of it?
When you ask them even the simplest of questions about it they can’t answer. Weeks later they don’t even remember having covered the topic at all. Or, just as bad, they have focused on something that is not important. Frustrating isn’t it!
This 12-page notebook forces them to think as they have to write their own notes but at the same time gives structure to ensure their notes are focused and relevant to the specification.
Buy this musculoskeletal system notebook today so your class can answer questions like a pro.
WHAT IS INCLUDED?
12 page booklet filled with illustrations on all aspects of the musculoskeletal system and its disorders which aligns to the CTEC specification. Includes a sample completed notebook to save you the time of working out what needs to be where.
HOW CAN IT BE USED?
Can be used as part of the lesson to make notes that the students understand. Or can be used as part of structured revision lessons. Can be printed out as a handy booklet for the topic or used online as an editable PDF.

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.
