IGCSE Biology 0610 U8 Transport in plants — EAL
The English that earns the marks in Cambridge IGCSE Biology 0610 — topic 8 (8.1 xylem and phloem · 8.2 water uptake · 8.3 transpiration · 8.4 translocation). 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, 56 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

• Read-me-first - how to run it across two lessons plus homework
THE GRAMMAR THIS UNIT TEACHES
• Prepositions of path
• Factor → effect → so
HOW IT IS BUILT
3 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. 6 exam questions worth 26 marks in total, plus a 10-item review quiz in three formats.
This unit is a journey and a set of conditions. The exam asks you to DESCRIBE the pathway of water (prepositions of path: into, across, up, out of, through), to COMPARE two tissues (whereas / both), to EXPLAIN why the rate changes (each factor → its effect on evaporation or the gradient → so …), and to handle a potometer (readings with units, means, errors and improvements).
