These high-quality revision cards are specifically designed for the OCR Cambridge National (CNAT) Level 1/2 in Child Development. They provide comprehensive coverage for Unit R057: Health and well-being for child development, specifically focusing on Topic Area 1: Pre-conception health and reproduction.
Product Overview
This resource consists of a set of visually engaging, color-coded revision cards that break down complex biological and lifestyle factors into digestible “bites” for students. They are mapped directly to the OCR specification, ensuring learners have exactly what they need for their final exam.
Key Topics Covered:
1.1 & 1.2 Pre-conceptual Health: Impact of age, weight (BMI), smoking, alcohol, and recreational drugs on fertility.
1.3 Reproductive Systems: Detailed diagrams and functions of both the male and female reproductive systems.
1.4 & 1.5 Methods of Contraception: Barrier (condoms, diaphragms), Hormonal (pills, injections), and Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) like implants and IUDs.
The Process of Reproduction: Clear stages from ovulation and conception to implantation.

1.5 Early Signs of Pregnancy: Common symptoms such as missed periods, nausea, and tiredness.
Multiple Pregnancies: Explanations of how identical and non-identical twins occur.
How to Use These Cards in the Classroom
Retrieval Practice & Starters
Use the cards as “flashcards” for quick-fire retrieval at the start of a lesson. Project a card with sections covered up and ask students to identify the missing parts of the reproductive system or the advantages/disadvantages of a specific contraceptive method.
Scaffolding for NEA (R058 & R059)
While these cards target the R057 exam, they provide the essential biological foundation needed for the NEA assignments. Students can refer to the “Growth & Development” cards when explaining the background of the child they are observing in Unit R059.
Differentiated Revision Stations
Set up “Topic Stations” around the room. Give students a blank “Knowledge Organiser” and have them rotate through the stations, using these cards to find the facts needed to complete their notes.
Active Learning Games
Mix and Match: Print the cards and separate the “Advantages” and “Disadvantages” from the contraceptive methods. Challenge students to match them back up correctly.
Peer-to-Peer Quiz: Students work in pairs to quiz each other using the “Common Symptoms” or “Lifestyle Factors” cards to prepare for the exam’s short-answer questions.
Why Choose This Resource?
Exam Focused: Directly aligned with the OCR J809 specification.
Visual Learning: Uses professional icons and diagrams to support EAL learners and students with SEND.
Teacher-Ready: High-resolution images ready for printing (A4 or A5) or digital display.
