I’ve trialled and tested this lesson with primary school children and secondary school pupils - children were talking about it on the playground to their friends!
Curated for GCSE students who want to revise/learn topic CB1 Paper 1 and 2 Key concepts in Biology
Edexcel Biology Combined Biology content – Following the Edexcel curriculum.
Neatly organised and can be used in conjunction of teaching and learning in school.
For me as a teacher I find these most helpful to students when I print these booklets and hand them out to my students before the start of a new unit/topic.
This booklet includes the following (please read before purchasing to find out if this will be useful for you and your students!)
Chapter pages from the curriculum book (I use ActiveLearn Pearson).
BBC revision spreads for each chapter.
Every style of past paper exam question for each chapter in the topic (found on exam wizard).
Mark schemes for the teacher

I noticed there were very limited resources targeted towards lower-level Science GCSE and wanted to make resources that were engaging and fun. Complex information has been broken down while using questioning to stretch many of the students at a variety of levels.
