No longer than ¾ of an hour each.
At least 10 minutes gap between sessions.

18. Revision Doing: Why do I do it?
To succeed!!! Keep goals in mind!

19. Revision Doing: Revision Techniques
How do I do it????

20. Revision Doing: Revision Techniques – What are the different techniques?
Linguistic
Logical
Visual
Interpersonal
Reinforcing

21. Revision Doing: Revision Schedule – Which should I use?
The one which feels most useful.
The most appropriate to the task.
A combination to keep it fresh.

22. Revision Doing: Revision Schedule – Linguistic
Read the information – e.g. from exercise book/revision guide.
Write it out – try to summarize it and write it out without looking.
Repeat until embedded.
Mnemonics.

23. Revision Doing: Revision Schedule – Linguistic example
Demonstrate an understanding of Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection including
a) Variation – most populations of organisms contain individuals which vary slightly from one to another
b) Over-production – most organisms produce more young than will survive to adulthood
c) Struggle for existence – because populations do not generally increase rapidly in size there must therefore be considerable competition for survival between the organisms
d) Survival- those with advantageous characteristics are more likely to survive this struggle.
e) Reproduce – those advantageous characteristics inherited – better adapted organisms are more likely to reproduce successfully passing on the advantageous characteristics to their offspring
f) gradual Change – over a period of time the proportion of individuals with the advantageous characteristics in the population will increase compared with the proportion of individuals with poorly adapted characteristics, and the poorly adapted characteristics may eventually be lost
Very Odious Structured Science Revision Course

24. Revision Doing: Revision Schedule – Logical - Mind Map
struggle for existence considerable competition for survival between the organisms caused by:
New disease
New predator
Change in climate
Lots Die!
over-production –more young produced than will survive to adulthood
variation –individuals vary slightly from one to another
those with advantageous characteristics survive & Reproduce
Evolution
May eventually result in changed species
or (HIGHER LEVEL) new species (speciation) if the new population can’t breed with the original one e.g. geographical isolation – they’re physically separated from them
advantageous genes/alleles inherited – better adapted organisms successfully pass on the advantageous characteristics to their offspring
gradual change – over a period of time the proportion of individuals with the advantageous characteristics in the population will increase - the poorly adapted characteristics may eventually be lost

25. Revision Doing: Revision Schedule – Logical – Flow Charts

26. Revision Doing: Revision Schedule – Visual
Usually combined with other techniques.
Use colour as visual triggers – those things you remember when you close your eyes.
Try to use the same shape/colour for the same idea.

27. Revision Doing: Revision Schedule – Visual + Flow Charts

28. Revision Doing: Revision Schedule – Visual + Flow Charts

29. Revision Doing: Revision Schedule – Interpersonal
Used together with other techniques:
Arrange to TEACH your parent/dog/goldfish for the last 10 minutes of the scheduled session.
Plan a 10 minute lesson plan.
Deliver your lesson

30. Revision Doing: Revision Schedule – Interpersonal
Starter: Qu: How do you think species evolve to be taller?
Main Part: Explain how species evolve using the flow chart.
Plenary: Test mum’s learning with an exam question.
