A fully scaffolded/differentiated 6-mark exam question on the reflex arc and nervous system response, designed to help GCSE students practice extended writing with structure and precision.
This resource includes:
- Exam-style 6 mark question with diagram
- Success criteria and command word guidance
- Fill-in-the-gaps activity with a word bank to build a full-mark answer
- A model answer showing how to gain 6 marks
- A sample “vague/incorrect” student answer for learners to improve and rewrite
- Key vocabulary highlighted (receptor, sensory neurone, relay neurone, motor neurone, synapse, neurotransmitter, effector, impulse, brain, spinal cord)
Why use this resource?
Students often struggle with sequencing the reflex arc and using scientific terms accurately. This worksheet helps them practise structuring answers, avoiding vague phrasing, and embedding keywords correctly.
Perfect for:
- GCSE AQA Biology (Paper 2)
- Whole-class teaching, homework, revision, interventions
