A3 topic revision sheets

Help students revise each topic

The revision sheets cover selected points from each topic to give students a useful overview and test their knowledge of the main aspects. The worksheets will also help students to identify areas which need extra revision and provide a set of concrete ideas to memorise after the lesson.

SL Topics

Topic 1 - Cells revision activities

This revision sheet covers cell theory, eukaryotic cells, prokaryote cells, stem cells, the fluid mosaic model of membrane structure, the four phases of mitosis, cancer & cell cycle.

The plenary revision activity is "Thought provoking questions".

Topic 2 - Molecular biology revision activities

This revision sheet covers elements, water, carbohydrates, hydrolysis and condensation reactions, DNA structure, DNA replication, enzymes, respiration and photosynthesis.

The plenary revision activity is the "Hot seat challenge".

Topic 3 - Genetics SL revision activities

This revision sheet covers genes, alleles, theoretical genetics, genetic symbols, multiple alleles, co-dominance, GMOs, cloning and use of biotechnology including PCR and gel electrophoresis.

The plenary revision activity is "Line dialogue".

Topic 4 - Ecology SL revision activities

This revision sheet covers ecological terminology, feeding relationships, energy flow, decomposers, the carbon cycle, evolution, population growth curves and classification.

The plenary revision activity is "Connect, extend, challenge".

Topic 5 - Evolution SL revision activities

This revision sheet covers classification, natural selection and evolution as well as binomial nomenclature and cladistics.

The plenary revision activity is "Physical space memory race" - students have answers at one side of the room and questions at the other, and have to complete the answers a rapidly as possible using their memory. The dilemma is to decide how many answers to remember at a time.

.

Topic 6 - human physiology SL revision activities

This revision sheet covers the lungs and alveoli, the digestive system, the heart, blood and circulation, motor neurons and the nervous system, homeostasis and reproduction. As the topic is long the revision sheet is actually two pages.

The plenary revision activity is "Powerful questions"

Topic 7 - Nucleic acids HL revision activities

This revision sheet covers DNA structure, replication in prokaryotes, nucleosomes, applications of DNA technology, Transcription and translation, ribosomes and protein structure.

The plenary revision activity is 'Connect extend challenge'

Topic 8 - Metabolism HL revision activities

This revision sheet covers metabolic pathways, activation energy, rates of reactions, cell respiration, glycolysis, link reaction, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain and chemiosmisis. The stucture of a chloroplast, a mitochondrion and the two reactions of photosynthesis, light dependent and light independent.

The plenary revision activity is 'Physical space memory race'

Topic 9 - Plant biology HL revision activities

This revision sheet covers transport in xylem, structure of xylem, transpiration experiments, translocation in phloem, sources and sinks, growth in plants, and the control of flowering.

The plenary revision activity is 'Physical space memory race'

Options

Option A - Neurobiology SL Revision activities

This revision sheet covers all the different aspects of this topic on a single A3 sheet, neural development, the human brain, perception of stimuli, the eye and the ear. 

The revision list gives a concise summary of all the understandings of the SL part of this topic and a plenary activity is a Physical space memory race.

*** Option C - Ecology coming soon. ***

Option D - Human Physiology Revision activities

This revision sheet covers all the different aspects of this topic on a single A3 sheet this page will help you. By completing short questions or cloze activities students are forced to review the whole topic and complete an overview of the main concepts in the topic.
