How to Revise
There are a few things that you can do to make your
revision for the Christmas Exams as effective as possible.
Revision Environment:
You should try to make sure you have good surroundings
when you are trying to revise.
Find a quiet place so you don’t get distracted
Make sure you are sitting comfortably
Keep background noise a minimum e.g. TV, radio.
Make sure the area is well lit so you don’t strain your eyes.
Revision plan:
It is suggested that making a revision plan helps some people to revise more
effectively. Included in this pack you will find a suggested revision timetable. You
can download more copies off the school website.
Make a list of all your exam subjects and try to assign an amount of time
needed for each subject. For example if there is an area that you find
difficult, then maybe you should give more time to this subject.
Revise often and try to do a bit everyday.
Break your revision time down – aim to study each subject for no more than 15-
20 minutes at a time.
Include time off and breaks in your revision plan. Aim to take a 5 minute break
after every session.
Remember to include variety in your plan – not only in the subjects you revise
but also the techniques you use.
Revision techniques:
Here are a few ideas as to how you can revise most
effectively.
Create memory aids such as diagrams or mnemonics
(e.g. for the order of colours in the rainbow:
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet
- Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain).
Write key facts on pieces of cards and display them
around your house or even on the way to school.
Study with someone at home or with a friend and test each other’s knowledge
Remember to reward yourself. Use rewards as incentive to do the revision.
On the day before the exam:
Use your revision tools (e.g. diagrams, mnemonics etc) to check facts
Keep calm – don’t try to learn new topics so close to an exam.
Don’t stay up all night.
Please remember that revision isn’t a competition. It’s not about who stayed up all
night and revised the longest. It is about finding the right revision methods that suit
your way of learning. Try out some of the techniques mentioned and you will find that
revision isn’t as scary as you first thought. Getting started is often the hardest bit.

Osmosis and Plant Transport - you should be able to show that you can: (a)carry out investigations, collect data and draw conclusions to demonstrate the process of osmosis (across selectively permeable membranes) in plant tissue, to include: - the change in size and mass of plant and be able to identify changes in plant cell structure that occur in plasmolysed and turgid cells due to osmosis at a microscopic level (b) explain osmosis as diffusion of water from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution, through a selectively permeable membrane; (c) explain how osmosis causes plant cells to become plasmolysed and turgid; (d) understand the role of the cell wall in limiting the entry of water; (e) understand that plants use water for support, transport, transpiration and photosynthesis; (f) use a potometer (bubble potometer and weighing method) to gain an understanding of the process of transpiration in plants; (g) define transpiration as evaporation from leaf cells followed by diffusion through stomata; and (h) investigate the factors affecting the rate of transpiration (wind speed, temperature, surface area and humidity) and be able to analyse data collected to calculate the rate of transpiration. Circulatory System (a) understand the role of the circulatory system as the transport of materials and protection against disease; (b) understand that the circulatory system transports blood cells (red blood cells carrying oxygen) and materials such as digested food products, carbon dioxide, hormones and urea around the body; (c) through examining a heart: -identify the four chambers of the heart; -understand how its structure relates to the pumping action and sequence of blood flow in a double circulatory system; -identify the four blood vessels associated with the heart – the vena cava and pulmonary artery carrying deoxygenated blood and the pulmonary vein and aorta carrying oxygenated blood; and
identify the coronary blood vessels; (d) understand the role of the different types of blood vessels:
arteries – carry blood under pressure away from the heart (usually oxygenated blood);
veins – carry blood back to the heart and have valves which prevent the backflow of blood (usually deoxygenated blood); and
capillaries – allow the exchange of material with tissues through permeable walls; and (e) identify the blood vessels entering and leaving the heart, lungs, liver and kidney, and their functions. Know their names (g) identify the blood vessels entering and leaving the heart, lungs, liver and kidney, and their functions. (h)understand that:
a blockage of the coronary vessels caused by the build-up of cholesterol deposits restricts blood flow to the heart muscles, causing death of the heart muscle cells;
a blockage in blood vessels to the brain leads to a stroke, causing brain cell death and reduced brain function;
in both cases blockage leads to less oxygen and glucose reaching cells (heart muscle and brain) and less cell respiration; and
certain factors increase or reduce the risk of heart disease and strokes, and interpret secondary data to evaluate these risk factors and
(i) investigate the effects of exercise on the pulse rate and know how the circulatory system benefits from regular exercise – strengthened heart muscle and increased volume of blood pumped per beat at rest
Immunity- understand the role of Pasteur’s Swan Neck experiment in refuting earlier theories about spontaneous generation, know the types of disease-causing microorganisms and how they are spread, prevented and treated including:
bacteria (gonorrhoea, chlamydia, salmonella and tuberculosis); viruses (HIV leading to AIDS, cold and flu, mumps, measles, polio and rubella); and
fungi (athlete’s foot); and understand the defence mechanisms of the body, to include: the skin, mucous membranes and blood clotting; Lymphocytes – their production and action in response to antigens; and the process of phagocytosis – engulfing and digesting microorganisms by white blood cells (phagocytes). Understand that immunity to disease is produced by raised antibody levels in the blood and that immunity can be: natural – innate and acquired; or artificial – active and passive; understand the role of vaccines, to include:
the use of modified disease-causing organisms to produce raised antibody levels in the blood - the role of booster vaccinations and the interpretation of graphs of blood antibody levels - the development of the first vaccination by Jenner as an example of how scientific understanding and theories develop the importance of immunisation when travelling to certain countries (specific details of immunisation programmes are not required) understand that antibiotics, for example penicillin, are chemicals which are used against bacterial diseases to kill bacteria or reduce their growth understand the implications of the following on the health of the population - overuse of antibiotics leading to bacterial resistance, resulting in the development of ‘superbugs’ such as MRSA; and procedures used to reduce the incidence of ‘superbugs’ and why their eradication is difficult; Use secondary data to evaluate the effectiveness of measures that have been introduced to reduce the number of infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria Safely use aseptic techniques to inoculate, plate and incubate bacteria and investigate the effect of different antibiotics on their growth Drugs and Alcohol - understand how drugs may be used or misused: - alcohol and its effects on the individual and society: binge drinking; the effect of drinking on the development of the foetus; reasons why people drink; and evaluation of strategies for reducing alcohol intake; tobacco smoke: tar – cause of bronchitis (narrowing of bronchi and bronchioles), emphysema (damage to alveoli reducing the surface area for gas exchange) and lung cancer (abnormal cell division); nicotine – addictive and affects heart rate; and carbon monoxide – combines with red blood cells to reduce the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood; and the effects of cannabis and cocaine on the individual and society; understand how scientific evidence about the use and misuse of some of the drugs listed contributes to changes in legislation in areas such as smoking bans, licensing regulations for bars and clubs, and the legal position of cannabis collect data from secondary sources on the results of the ban on smoking in relation to the incidence of lung cancer
Question type(s)
The exam consists of one single one-hour paper. The paper will consist of a number of compulsory structured questions that provide opportunities for short answers, extended writing and calculations. The interpretation of secondary data and the interpretation or displaying data graphically could be included.
Equipment requirements for examination Black pen, Pencil, ruler, rubber, & calculator.
Revision tip(s) Use your class booklets for thorough revision. Practice using previous homework and test questions. Use the specification as a checklist for your revision.
