Edexcel CB3 'Find Someone Who...' Activity

Edexcel CB3 'Find Someone Who...' Activity

(4)
Revision activity for the CB3 unit in the new Edexcel Combined Science GCSE (9-1). The idea of the activity is that they need to get all the questions answered on their sheet working cooperatively with the rest of class, with each person only being able to contribute one answer to each worksheet. I also allowed them to ask me to answer one question but could also be done independently amongst the students.

Maths Skills in Biology

(70)
Lesson on Maths skills needed for the new Combined Science GCSE (9-1) with a focus on Biology content, although many of the skills are needed across all three Sciences.

It could easily be done as a teacher lead lesson as well though and even slotted into other lessons as needed. The maths skills included are: Comparing Data Analysing Graphs Drawing Tables Calculating the Mean Mode & Median Calculating Percentages Calculating Percentage Changes Percentile Charts Converting Units Standard Form Ratios & Fractions Variation Magnification Equation Cardiac Output Equation BMI Equation Estimating Population Size Equation There is an information sheet and exam question sheet for each, as well as answers to all the questions.
