AQA Synergy Life & Environment AO1 revision following a karate structure. 9 revision exercises summarise the key content taught in the first half of the life and environment section. Each exercise corresponds to a coloured belt, from white through to black. Each belt consists of a revision sheet and an accompanying gap-fill, with 10 gaps to be completed. In the same way that karate belts build on previous skills learnt, each science belt has something from each of the previous belts included. I have set the revision sheet as a weekly homework, then the first 10 minutes of the next lesson are spent completing the gap-fill for that belt. If a student scores 6/10 or above, they are awarded that colour belt (given in the form of a piece of coloured tape stuck on the front of their exercise book).

A set of simple revision notes I made for my bottom set year 9 group for the new AQA trilogy GCSE, cells module.
