UPDATED CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM TEACHING PACK

Teach the cardiovascular system through 5 editable 90-minute lessons for BTEC Level 3 National Sport Unit 1 Anatomy and Physiology (2016 specification), typically for learners aged 16-18.

WHAT IS INCLUDED

• 5 editable PowerPoint lessons.
• Clear learner instructions and activities directly on the slides.
• Explanations, anatomical or relevant sporting visuals and applied examples.
• Worked answers or model responses after activities.
• Individual learning checkpoints with feedback and outcome reviews.
• Optional editable student workbook material.
• Teacher guidance and a matching system scheme of work.
• Visual source and credit information.

TOPICS
Heart structure and blood flow, blood vessels and blood, cardiac conduction and autonomic control, exercise responses, training adaptations and factors affecting performance.

CLASSROOM USE
The revised slides support student-centred learning through explanation, sporting cases, discussion, research, practical observation and original formative questions. Learners attempt tasks before reviewing the worked responses. Main task instructions and response frameworks are available on the slides, so the workbook is optional.

TEACHING TIME AND FILES
5 lessons of 90 minutes provide approximately 7.5 taught hours. These form one system within the wider Unit 1 collection. Additional supervised learning should be planned across the full unit. Extract the ZIP before opening the editable PowerPoint and Word files.

Use the current Pearson specification and centre assessment arrangements. This is original teaching material, not an official Pearson assessment paper or completed learner assessment evidence.
