Common Entrance / KS3 Biology – Fit and Healthy

✅  Learn or revise complicated concepts easily
✅  Information broken down into short chunks
✅  Full-colour illustrations on every page

Apart from being part of the curriculum, understanding how to look after our bodies to stay fit and healthy is an essential life skill for all pupils. This Common Entrance & Key Stage 3 Topic pack covers the fit and healthy module of the syllabus in a very visual format, covering the science of keeping ourselves as healthy as possible in a clear and easy to understand format, as well as explaining to pupils how they can take action themselves to look after their bodies. By using an active revision game and illustrations alongside the key points, this topic pack is ideal for revising this Common Entrance & Key Stage 3 biology topic.

One of the key features of our science topic packs is the use of the glossary of key words and terms. This is a vital tool to ensure that pupils recognise and understand the key words associated with each topic BEFORE they start learning about the specific topic. This way they can focus on the processes rather than struggling with key words and learning will be both more effective and less stressful for them.

Topics Covered Include:

• What is fitness?
• What does it mean to be healthy?
