What emotions are you feeling now?

Exams and times of higher than normal workload create pressure.

Exams create a situations that make us feel uncomfortable, that change the way we feel, think and act.

  • Pressure is a normal human emotion
  • Everyone suffers from pressure at some time in their

lives, will have experienced feeling under pressure, and will experience it again at some point

  • You can learn to manage pressure from things like

exams on your own but at times it is better to manage this with support from other people

SLIDE 7

What can/does pressure look and feel like?

  • Depression/negative feelings about yourself
  • Low levels of self confidence
  • Feeling alone and like it is just you suffering
  • Anxiety/tension/nervousness
  • Mood swings
  • Tiredness & headaches
  • Excessive or repeated worries or fear
  • Forgetfulness
  • Poor concentration
  • Anger
  • Lack of interest in studies despite efforts made
  • Changes in sleep or eating patterns
  • Avoidance of work – finding yourself repeatedly finding other things to do rather than the most

important thing…. revision

If you are struggling then not doing anything is the worst thing you can do

You have a great team who can support and help you!

How you can access the help & support on offer in school…

  • Lunchtime drop ins
  • Via email/face to face - form tutors/pastoral managers/company leaders
  • Through any other member of staff – Mrs Temple, Mr Down, Mr Woodcock
  • Using your parents (email in or contact staff for you)
  • Attend the master classes
slide-10

It doesn’t matter how you ask, just ask if you need support! Remember the first step is the hardest, don’t wait and hope things will get better on their

  • wn ask for help and things can/will get better

much quicker!

Chunk it up and space it out

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Tick lists to help chunk it up

  • Be specific about

which areas you wish to revise

  • Chose the areas of weakness

first

  • When making your personal

revision plan- space out your subjects and go back over them

SLIDE 20 Section 1: Cell Structure Eukaryotic Prokaryot ic Cell Structure Function Animal Cells Plant Cells Bacterial Cells 1 Nucleus Contains genetic information that controls the functions of the cell. Y Y 2 Cell membrane Controls what enters and leaves the cell. Y Y Y 3 Cytoplasm Where many cell activities and chemical reactions within the cell occur. Y Y Y 4 Mitochondria Provides energy from aerobic respiration. Y Y 5 Ribosome Synthesises (makes) proteins. Y Y Y 6 Chloroplast Where photosynthesis occurs. Y 7 Permanent vacuole Used to store water and other chemicals as cell sap. Y 8 Cell wall Strengthens and supports the cell. (Made
  • f cellulose in plants.)
Y Y 9 DNA loop A loop of DNA, not enclosed within a nucleus. Y 10 Plasmid A small circle of DNA, may contain genes associated with antibiotic resistance. Y Biology 1: Cell Biology Section 2: Specialised Cells Specialised Cell How structure relates to function 13 Sperm cell Acrosome contains enzyme to break into egg; tail to swim; many mitochondria to provide energy to swim. 14 Nerve cell Long to transmit electrical impulses over a distance. 15 Muscle cell Contain protein fibres that can contract when energy is available, making the cells shorter. 16 Root hair cell Long extension to increase surface area for water and mineral uptake; thin cell wall. 17 Xylem cell Waterproofed cell wall; cells are hollow to allow water to move through. 18 Phloem cell Some cells have lots of mitochondria for active transport; some cells have very little cytoplasm for sugars to move through easily. Section 3: Microscopy 22 Magnification The degree by which an object is enlarged. Magnification = size of image__ size of real object 23 Resolution The ability of a microscope to distinguish detail. 24 Light microscope Basic microscope with a maximum magnification of
  • 1500x. Low resolution.
25 Electron microscope Microscope with a much higher magnification (up to 500 000x) and resolving power than a light
  • microscope. This means that it can be used to
study cells in much finer detail. 1 1 1 2 19 – Sperm cell 20 – Nerve cell 21 – Root hair cell Section 4: Orders of Magnitude Unit Prefix Size in metres Standard Form 26 Centimetre (cm) 0.01m 10-2m 27 Millimetre (mm) 0.001m 10-3m 28 Micrometre (μm) 0.000001m 10-6m 29 Nanometre (nm) 0.000000001m 10-9m

Summary

  • Sleep, diet and exercise
  • Setting goals
  • Regular testing and practice questions
  • Plan it - space it out.
  • Keep asking ‘why’ to deepen understanding.
  • Build on what you know.
  • Explain the steps in your problem solving and thinking.

Why not?

  • Low challenge.
  • Little thinking required.
  • Makes the student think that

they are ‘doing something’
