An independent learning resource covering the structure of mammalian muscle and the mechanism of muscular contraction (OCR A Specification 5.1.5 i ) (Correct 28/03/19). There are three separate sheets covering all of The structural and functional differences between skeletal, involuntary and cardiac muscle the sliding filament model of muscular contraction and the role of ATP The action of neuromuscular junctions and how the supply of ATP is maintained in muscles by creatine phosphate. Section A uses a variety of short-answer questions to ensure students have a complete set of notes, provided the questions are answered in full sentences (you can also use the Cornell Notes Style to ensure a coherent layout) Section B checks understanding of learning using a variety of different application questions questions Section C is an extension task designed to enhance subject knowledge and engage students in the wider scientific world. This should also better equip them for suggest questions and university interviews. Students are asked to research muscle differences in sprinters and marathon runners I have used this as an independent resource task, a homework task, a revision sheet and as an aid to my own planning. Please let me know what you think.

Print two to a page and you have a ready-to-go plenary for any lesson Learners write down three things they learnt in the lesson, two ways they learnt it (what task taught them the knowledge - metacognition) and one thing they knew before the lesson that helped them (skills or knowledge based). The question at the bottom challenges the student to say what they will do next. Print two to a page and you have a ready-to-go plenary for any lesson An assessment-for-learning template that can be adapted for use in almost any lesson, subject or topic.
