IGCSE Biology 0610 U21 Biotechnology & Genetic Modification
The English that earns the marks in Cambridge IGCSE Biology 0610 — topic 21 (21.1 biotechnology and genetic modification · 21.2 biotechnology · 21.3 genetic modification). Not the biology, the language: what each command word wants, the sentence shape behind every mark point, and the grammar this unit’s answers depend on.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
• Review Deck (PPTX, 60 slides) - teacher-led, answers shown, teaching notes under every slide
• Student Fillable Deck (PPTX) - the same spine with blanks, self-mark pages, and a slide the student builds and presents
• Student Packet (PDF, 10 pages, A4) - print-ready: vocabulary, command words, grammar moves, the exam questions at three levels, the practical, the review quiz
• Teacher Key (PDF) - mark points, model answers, and “also accept” / “do not accept” for every task
• Interactive Quiz, click-through deck (PPTX) - per-option feedback with a route back to retry. No macros, so school IT will not block it
• Interactive Quiz, self-marking (HTML, inside the ZIP) - one file, any browser, works offline, prints a result slip. No accounts, no tracking
• Cover lesson (PDF) - one page a non-specialist runs cold: a starter, five timed steps with a model answer for each, what to do if it finishes early or goes wrong, and an exit question
• Scheme of work (PDF) - the unit mapped lesson by lesson: objectives, the activity for each, and where the assessment falls
• Project brief with marking bands (PDF) - the task and the levelled criteria, shown to the student BEFORE the work starts, not after
• Read-me-first - how to run it across two lessons plus homework
THE GRAMMAR THIS UNIT TEACHES
• The passive process with tools
• Kept at … so that … / because …
HOW IT IS BUILT
4 lessons, each with the idea in one line, the sentence shape that scores, a typical EAL answer set against a full-mark one, and practice at Support / Core / Challenge. 5 exam questions worth 25 marks in total, plus a 10-item review quiz in three formats.
Biotechnology is processes and reasons. The GM steps are a PASSIVE sequence with named tools (is cut out using restriction enzymes, is joined using ligase, is inserted into); the fermenter is CONDITION + CONTROL + REASON (temperature is kept at the optimum so that enzymes are not denatured); and “why bacteria” is FEATURE → SO → BENEFIT.
