An excellent set of cartoon style 6 mark questions I have made over the years covering every aspect of Biology topics at KS4. Such as:
Diet and health: The nervous system: Decay: Micro organisms: Enzymes: Vaccinations: High cholesterol: Culturing bacteria: Cloning: Stem cells: Genetic engineering: Genetic crosses: Osmosis and Farming to name a few....
There are 50 6 mark questions in total with answers to every question on the next slide.
This resource can be used for any specification in biology at KS4 sitting the 2017 spec examinations or 2018.
It is an idea I took from another user on here. Sorry but I do not remember who to credit for this.
