A revision poster that includes material needed for section 6 of the edexcel iGCSE combined science double award biology. Section 6 - The Nervous system and responding to Stimuli.
A blank copy for students to fill in is also included for students to test their knowledge.
I would recommend to print these in A3 and guide the students through the answers using the completed revision poster attached.
Due to the amount of detail needed to squeeze into one poster, the font is small in some sections which might need some further zooming in on presenting devices.
By the end of the lesson learners should be able to:
Identify substances excreted and absorbed by the body.
Describe how the capillaries are effective for exchanging substances.
Describe how to calculate surface area and volume.
Explain how organisms compensate for a small surface area: Volume ratio.
