Some great Biology revision sites

Ms Stamp’s Science website might even be better than mine for Coordinated Sciences.

SYLLABUS:

The full syllabus for Cambridge 0654 IGCSE Coordinated Sciences is here.

PAST PAPERS:

IGCSE Centre has all the past exam papers and mark schemes from 2002 onwards. AceThem and ExtremePapers also have past exam papers with mark schemes. At AOLpapers you can download all the past papers, markschemes, examiner reports etc from 2008 – 2015. There are many other sites that keep opening and closing – just remember our IGCSE syllabus is Sciences – Coordinated (Double) 0654 from Cambridge (CIE).

PRACTICE EXAM QUESTIONS:

Biology IGCSE Questionbank for exam question practice by topic and with the answers. There’s other stuff there too.

TUTORIALS & TESTS:

GCSE Bitesize for tutorials, tests, video clips and other activities. You’ll have to search to find the right topic but it’s there.

S-cool for tutorials, tests and revision sheets by topic.

IntelEducation for tutorials and tests by topic from Skoool.

Mr Exham IGCSE revision – some excellent revision material here including some great powerpoints (but bear in mind these are for Edexcel IGCSE Biology, so they may be more detailed than we need).

VIDEOS:

Click4Biology – short video lessons covering IGCSE Biology topics (some in more detail than we need; some topics we don’t need).

Socratic Biology has a huge collection of videos explaining every Biology topic (a lot is applicable to IB Biology – so more detailed than we need).

Ms Cooper’s IGCSE Biology – over 30 videos and counting, for IGCSE Biology (so we don’t need to know the content of all of them).

Mr Dare iGCSE Biology videos – lessons on almost 30 topics for IGCSE Biology (so we don’t need to know the content of all of them).

REVISION NOTES:

Accelerated Study Notes – if you don’t like our revision notes, try these.

ANIMATIONS:

Over 200 medical animations that include fertilisation, ovulation, birth, heart anatomy, effects of smoking & high cholesterol.

DEFINITIONS of science & engineering terms.

Some revision games. This one is Alien Abduction and covers vocabulary linked to plants:

Play this game on the what2learn site

There are more games at the bottom of this page (zombie attack is my favourite).

IGCSE Biology Revision Quiz – organisms and life processes from mrexham

Here’s a nice powerpoint that revises a number of topics:

GCSE AQA BIOLOGY UNIT 2 from lordvoldermort123

There were great resources from the Australian International School (videos, powerpoints, worksheets, practicals, animations, flashcards etc) but it is currently password-protected.

Textbook Revision (Biology)

There is no revision guide for IGCSE Coordinated Sciences but there are guides for the separate Sciences, here is a list of them:

IGCSE Science Revision Guides

Your textbook (IGCSE Biology: Coursebook, Jones & Jones) is good but it is aimed at IGCSE Biology rather than IGCSE Coordinated Sciences, so you don’t need to revise it all. The following documents, tell you which pages to revise:

Textbook pages for Bio revision (by topic)

Textbook pages for Bio revision (numerical)

Textbook pages for CORE Bio revision (by topic)
