GCSE Biology B1 - Cell Levels System revision follows the Gateway Science specification. This resourse is for Year 9 - 11 pupils.
It summaries the key concepts on all the B1 topics to include B1.1 Cell structure, B1.2 What happens in cells, B1.3 Respiration and B1.4 Photosynthesis.
Students must fill in the keywords that are missing on the ‘student version’ ppt. There is answers on the ‘answer’ ppt. that accompanies the student version and there is a help sheet, this displays the keywords for students.
Please note triple concepts are not included in these summaries (I usually get my triples to do up their own slide on the triple concept that is missing.) The dept of practical/experimental knowledge is also missing but please see me other resources on GCSE Biology practical summaries.
Students (especially the lower ability) find these revision sheets very helpful and they form the backbone of their revision.

This revision resource:
Assess students understanding on keywords in B4 and concepts
Forms the backbone of their revision
Student have always found these posters helpful and use them regularly when answering exam questions
stuents found the layouts of the cycles very helpful; to help them memorise the cycles students would work in pair or groups of four to draw the cycles on the desks with washable marker pens. I was also able to move between group and orally check their understanding. This is excellent for a student lead activity and teacher facilitating - great as a learning walk activity
