Health and disease knowledge mat for secondary schools (PDF)
Why one disease can be stopped by washing your hands and another only by changing how you live. Four pathogens and four routes in, each with the control that blocks it; the body's defences, from skin to lymphocytes, and monoclonal antibodies; vaccines and the immune response drawn as a graph; measles, tobacco mosaic virus and coronary heart disease side by side; how a new medicine reaches a patient, from discovery to peer review. Fifteen terms to define, a model answer on herd immunity, and the misconceptions that cost marks.
Everything else this site has for Science: Science teaching resources
One purchase covers the school that buys it. Print it, copy it, hand it round your department. Not for passing to other schools or uploading anywhere.
One landscape A4 page on one topic, led by the figures and photographs rather than the headings. It carries the four pathogens and four routes in, the body's defences and monoclonal antibodies, vaccines drawn as an immune-response graph, three diseases compared and how a medicine is developed — then the vocabulary, a worked exam-style answer and the misconceptions that cost marks.
Every photograph on the sheet is a real archival or scientific image, not an illustration and not AI-generated; every diagram is drawn in code for the sheet. Each image was checked against its own licence template rather than a label, and the running foot names every creator, states that the images have been cropped and adjusted for print, and links the licence — so the sheet can be photocopied for a class and stay compliant. Every claim is sourced to the DfE subject content, and nothing is reproduced from a past paper, a textbook or a specification.
Sold by subject: all four biology sheets for one price. A knowledge organiser stores a unit and is revised from afterwards; this is meant to be on the table while the work is happening.
- Written to The DfE GCSE subject content for biology (DFE-00351-2014). Every photograph is a sourced archival or scientific image, licensed for reuse and credited on the sheet; every diagram is drawn in code for the sheet
- Intended for biology teachers — on the desk during the lesson, not a student revision guide
