OCR PE = Biomechanics Mind Maps

OCR A Level PE Biomechanics Mind Maps – Full Course (17 Printable Revision Maps)

Summary
17 colour-coded, print-ready mind maps covering the whole OCR A Level PE Biomechanics topic (1.3.a and 1.3.b), plus planes and axes. Key terms are highlighted, with memory tricks, worked examples and “cover and test yourself” tasks on every page.

Revision that students will actually use. This pack condenses the entire OCR A Level PE Biomechanics content into 17 bright, easy-to-scan mind maps. Each one is colour-coded by topic, with the key terms highlighted so students know exactly what to learn, then cover the page and test themselves.

Why students love them

Whole course in one pack: every Biomechanics topic from Year 1 through Year 2, plus planes and axes.
Highlighted key terms: the exam-relevant vocabulary stands out, so there’s no guessing what to learn.
Memory tricks built in: mnemonics like “I Am Ready” for Newton’s laws, “FLE” for lever classes and “WRAF” for external forces.
Real sporting examples: golf, F1, trampolining, tennis, swimming, football and more, so students can apply knowledge to exam questions.
Active recall tasks: every map ends with a “cover and test yourself”, “draw it” or “explain it” activity.
Exam skills: includes graph-description phrasing and the free body diagram and calculation practice that examiners reward.
Clear, colourful, printable design: works in colour or black and white, and fits one map per A4 page.

Perfect for

Students revising independently or in the run-up to mocks and exams
Teachers who want a ready-made revision resource or homework task
Starter or plenary activities, intervention sessions and cover lessons
Wall displays and revision packs

Specification: OCR A Level Physical Education (H555), Component 01: Physiological factors affecting performance (Biomechanics).

How to use
Print single-sided or double-sided, and read through the highlighted terms. Then cover the page and test recall, and finish with the practice task at the bottom of each map. Students can also annotate, stick them in a revision folder or build them into a wall display.
