term+1+break+work

Well here we are 11 weeks later and ready for a rest. BUT it is important that we do some work over the next two weeks in prepration for the upcoming exams.

First of all, you need to check the mammalian respiration lesson page and complete the task that i have mentioned. A minimum of 3 hours needs to be done.
 * YEAR 11 **

** Biology wikispace (1 hour) ** Contributing to the glossary, scrutinising any of the contributions and making amendments where needed.

A selection of these activties should be used to revise over the main areas of the course. For the tile puzzles we will not have covered any plant stuff for transport or removal of waste, so some links may be difficult BUT you could always refer to the text book or workbook for help. I have already given you an example of a mind map on "obtaining nutrients" for you to use as a guide to creating your own relating to another central idea. So one possibility is to choose a different type of revision task for each major area of the course, rather than necessarily just doing one type.
 * Homework booklet or tile puzzles or mind maps (1 hour) **

It would be great if you could come up with 3 or 4 songs that cover different aspects of the course. Use the biol 1 song page to collaborate with each other. Try and choose simple melodies of recognisable tunes, as this will make it easier to remember lyrics later on, as well as write lyrics for. Possible areas include circulation, movement across membranes, cells and their organelles, photosynthesis.
 * Writing lyrics for a song (1 hour) **

A minimum of 6 hours needs to be done. I recommend that you try for 8-10 hours. ** Biology wikispace (1 hour) ** Contributing to the glossary, scrutinising any of the contributions and making amendments where needed. Puzzle booklet or H/W booklet (1 hour) ** A selection from both these booklets should be done. A minimum of FOUR terminology analysis and TWO compare and contrast tasks should be done. Revision of your own (1.5 hour) ** Choose a method of your own that you feel is particularly useful to revise all the subject matter. As part of this, I suggest you use questions from two trial exams, whereby you refer to notes/textbook to help you answer questions, if needed. Trial exams (2.5 hours) ** ** Summary table on wiki ** On the trial exam analysis page I would like you to place a summary table of the types of questions and the concepts that you had most difficulty with based on your two exam performances.
 * YEAR 12 **
 *  Ignore the questions that cover the immune system. There will be a list in your exam folder as well as copy here.  [|questions to ignore 2008.doc]
 *  Complete one trial exam under exam conditions (give yourself 60min total, stick to it).
 *  Self-correct and make a list of the areas that you were particularly strong in as well as the areas that you were getting wrong. Summarise these in a table, indicating whether they were short answer or multiple choice questions.
 *  Revise further
 *  Complete a second trial exam and carry out the same procedure.
