Use the game board and question cards to revise biology topics including: Drugs, diet, exercise, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, digestion, respiration, photosynthesis. This game was a hit with my high ability year 7/8 students. Students start on the start here circle and collect a question card. The difficulty of the question they choose to answer determines how many spaces forward they take. Landing on a lifestyle card (wine glass) will have a positive or negative impact on their progress across the board. Slide 2 gives an example of the types of questions included.

Additional Science Biology 2 condensed into 14 slides to aid with revision. This revision aid was much appreciated by my year 11's in the run up to the exams this year! These notes break down Biology 2 into the bare bones of what they need to know. My groups found this helpful when answering practice questions and identifying areas that they needed to revise in more detail. Following my production of my first set of Biology notes my groups were eager for me to produce the same for Chemistry and Physics as they found them extremely helpful.
