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

 |
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

 |
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

- 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.
