I designed these four assembly powerpoint presentations to last about 15 minutes each which I deliver to year 11 students during the Spring Term. The exams these days are more about 'how' you answer a question rather than your knowledge and these presentations use worked examples from the AQA biology syllabus to help guide students through their methodology in how to write an answer to an exam question based on the key command words that appear in the question: describe, explain, compare, evaluate.
