RRP: £50 +VAT
Unit 13 enables learners to use a variety of scientific processes to analyse evidence gathered from a crime scene. Tailored towards the latest Edexcel specifications, this unit is broken down into learning outcomes. Each learning outcome can be taught using a selection of ready-made resources including:
- An introduction to the topic with learning outcomes identified. Ideal for front-of-class teaching and for students to re-visit independently.
- Information delivery presented in a stimulating way through presentations and videos to illustrate key concepts and engage students.
- Learning activities including Drag and Drops, Mazes, Matching Pairs and Shuffling Games allowing students to assess their understanding of topics. Great for kinaesthetic learners.
- Extended practice with WebQuests building on key concepts and encouraging independent research; perfect for developing more advanced students.
- Checking understanding with Test Yourself questions, which students have to answer at the beginning of the learning outcome. These are auto-marked and provide feedback so students know where and how they need to improve.
- Assessment support with On Your Marks, explaining performance criteria and assessment task sheets for each unit.
