A guide for student (and staff) on how to answer the questions in Paper 2, for the Edexcel specification. This guide focuses on the following units: Superpowers and the Cold War, and early Elizabethan England, although it can be adapted for the other papers. The model answers have been Edexcel approved, either from approved textbooks or Pearson courses specifically focusing on these questions.

Suitable for GCSE students studying the Cold War - this timeline provides an overview of the key events they need to know. (This is not a conclusive timeline, as each exam board has a slightly different focus - but this does cover all of the main events and treaties)

A series of 24 interview questions taken from 3 different secondary schools, with some suggestions on what to include in your answers and space for your own notes.

Editable resource of 21 posters of the 4 main time periods, and 17 key individuals from the Edexcel medicine through time GCSE unit. Posters include Galen, Harvey, Syndenham, Pasteur, Nightingale, Crick and Watson so name a few.

A pack of homework tasks for a full year (1 task per week) for students to find out about historical events beyond the curriculum. In a similar theme of ‘meanwhile elsewhere…’. Tasks involve students completing a reading followed by comprehension questions, or sites for students to access followed by research based questions. Can be printed and issued as a hard copy, but document has embedded links so works best set as an electronic homework task.
