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.

BTEC Applied Science unit 1. Muscular Tissue Revision Notebook

BTEC Applied Science unit 1. Muscular Tissue Revision Notebook

(0)
For BTEC level 3 Applied Science unit 1: Prinicples and Applications 1 - Biology This 11-page illustrated notebook on muscular tissue 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. Completed notebook included in the resource. The muscular tissue notebook covers the requirements of B3 that relates to skeletal muscle tissue and includes: • Locations of skeletal and other types of muscle tissue within the body • Gross and fine structure of skeletal muscle tissue • An overview of sliding filament theory • Sliding filament theory in step by step detail • The differences between fast and slow twitch muscle • Suitability of fast or slow twitch muscle for specific activites • A test your knowledge section at the end
