6th Form reading day – Biology(Y12)

Topics to be revised

All work done up until Christmas including immune system

3.1 Biological Molecules

3.2 Cells

How long to spend on each topic

You will spend different lengths of time on each topic depending on how well you understand it. Ensure you do not avoid a hard topic and focus on easy ones to make you feel good.

During a single day I suggest you spend three hours revising biology. In preparation for the mocks in total I would suggest you need to revise until you know all the facts off by heart and are consistently getting high marks and correct answers on practise papers. This will take different students different lengths of time. Overall I would recommend roughly an hour a night from the beginning of January onwards.

Tasks for students to do so that they are not just “reading back through notes”.

Ways to memorise content Flashcards Mindmaps Condensing notes Reading a different source for the same topic

Ways to consolidate understanding Past paper questions Using mark schemes available at AQA. Using your text book to answer how science works questions.

Useful websites etc.www.aqa.org.uk

A date when the work will be checked.First lesson back after the reading day.
