Spaced Learning Teacher Instructions

Spaced Learning is a technique based on the brains biology and designed to maximise the potential for memory lay-down. Use the following slides as outlined below:
1. Move through the content slides. Students should sit passively, not make notes or ask questions. Explain to them what you are planning to do before beginning. Allow students a 5 minutes break (I usually time them) during which they must do something creative and or physical (jog, conger around the room, draw, use mini whiteboards, Rubiks cubes etc). They are not permitted to discuss or think about the content recently covered.

2.

3.
4. 5.

Repeat the slides as before.

Break as before. Finally, repeat the slides except this time open the floor for questions, interaction and discussion the final slides have gaps to allow for this, you may wish to get students to write or call out.

Spaced Learning Student Instructions

You are going to revise today using cutting edge Neuroscience to maximise your memory You will be shown a series of slides containing lots of information. You only need to sit and listen no writing, no questions (there will be time for this later). When your teacher has finished they will ask you to spend 5 minutes doing something completely different something physical or creative to give your brain time to make memories of the content covered. You will be shown the same slides two more times. The final time you will be allowed to ask and answer questions.

Nutrition, Enzymes and Breathing

Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are chains of sugar molecules Small chains that contain just one or two sugars are called Simple Sugars Long chains with many sugars are called Complex Carbohydrates e.g. Starch and Cellulose

Proteins
Proteins are long chains of Amino Acids that are folded into 3D molecules Proteins can be:
Components of tissues in the body Hormones Antibodies Enzymes

Lipids
Lipids are molecules made up of glycerol and three fatty acid chains

Enzymes
Biological catalysts Increase the rate of reactions without being used up themselves 3D structure vital to function Active Site

Enzymes
Enzymes are specific to substrates The Active Site is shaped so that the substrate molecule fits lock and key High temperatures denature enzymes, changing the shape of the Active Site pH changes can also cause denaturation

Uses of Enzymes
In the gut produced by the pancreas, stomach and intestines At home in biological detergents In Industry in baby food, to convert starch to sugar syrup and then to fructose syrup

The respiratory system

breathing

Alveoli
Large surface area Moist surface

Short diffusion pathway Highly vascularised

Mechanical breathing
A person can stop breathing because of disease or injury A patient can be placed on a mechanical ventilator Two types of ventilator are:
Negative pressure ventilators drawing air into the lungs Positive pressure ventilators forcing air into the lungs
