Digestive system and digestion

A revision poster on the digestive system and digestion summarising the key-points on;

• stages of the digestion
• digestive organs/glands and their functions
• mechanical and chemical digestion
• the role of teeth in mechanical digestion
• the role of enzymes in chemical digestion
• digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats
• experiment: to see the digestion of starch by amylase

My students stick this revision poster/chart into their copy book at the start or end of the chapter content delivery. I use these revision posters to show students the importance of chunk revising. They spend time recalling/memorising the key-points; some students will create their own revision resource to suit their learning style by using this content eg. a mind-map, flash cards and some create their own audio recordings to help.
