These pages will help you with your Key Stage 3 Biology. You may also find them useful if you are doing Biology GCSE.


Click one of the buttons at the top of this page to find out more about:

Photosynthesis tells you how plants "feed".
Respiration tells you how your cells get energy from your food.
A Balanced Diet contains the correct foodstuff in the correct proportions.
Enzymes tells you about the properties of enzymes.

Your Intestines tells you what each part of your intestines does.

 

Here is a simple list of biology topics you should have learnt about since Year 7:

The activities of living things = MRS GREN
  • Movement
  • Respiration
  • Sensitivity
  • Growth
  • Reproduction
  • Excretion
  • Nutrition
Animal and plant cells
  • Animals and plants are made of cells (similarities and differences between these cells)
  • cells are grouped together into tissues
  • tissues are grouped together to make organs
  • chloroplasts and cell walls in plant cells
  • how different cells are specialised to do different jobs
Human nutrition:
  • a balanced diet
  • your intestines
  • digestion
  • enzymes
  • the products of digestion
The human circulatory system
  • blood transporting things around your body
  • capillaries and the exchange of substances with the tissues
Movement
  • the skeleton
  • muscles (including antagonistic muscles)
  • joints
Reproduction
  • adolescence
  • the human reproductive system (both sexes)
  • the menstrual cycle
  • fertilization
  • development of the embryo
  • the placenta
Breathing
  • the structure of the lung
  • gaseous exchange
  • the effects of smoking
Respiration
  • aerobic respiration
  • anaerobic respiration
  • word equations for respiration
Health
  • alcohol, solvents and drugs
  • bacteria and viruses
  • immunization and medicines
Plant nutrition & growth
  • photosynthesis (including a word equation)
  • The need for Nitrogen, and other elements for growth
  • root hairs
Plant reproduction
  • flowering plants
  • pollination
  • seeds & germination
Respiration in plants
  • Plants respire aerobically
Genetics
  • variation (both genetic and environmental variation)
  • identifying animals and plants with keys
  • classifying animals and plants into their major groups
  • selective breeding

I am sorry that this is such a long list, but you will have been doing science for at least three years when you take your SATs.

All the ecology topics will be listed on the ecology page.

 

MORE SATS PAGES WILL BE ADDED WHEN I FIND THE TIME.

 

You will find more detailed pages suitable for GCSE students at: Gondar Design Science.
