How to Be Brilliant in Biology
Biology is a fascinating subject, but it’s also one of the core subjects, meaning the content underpins our understanding of the world around us. Biology is a life-enhancing subject, and it’s important for teenagers to grasp (at least) the basics whilst at school. By signing up to mydigitallesson.co.uk, your teenager will become more scientifically literate citizens, adopting an investigative approach and exploring the up-to-date scientific world around them.
With this in mind, here’s our top tips for becoming brilliant in biology:
Drawings and Diagrams
When it comes to being brilliant in biology, your teenager needs to know many structures and functions. We cover all of this, and guarantee an in-depth knowledge with clear explanations. Sometimes, students will find it easier to draw structures and process, as this helps to visualize the learning. Our video courses provide excellent explanations and diagrams. Students are welcome to follow ours, or create their own, to establish their own understanding.
Answer Quick Questions
Another great way of getting good at biology is to keep answering questions. Whether your teenager quizzes themselves, quizzes with you, or quizzes online, they’ll find that answering questions is a good method of continuing to learn. At mydigitiallesson.co.uk, we incorporate quizzes as part of our course content, and that’s because we know how powerful it is to learn in this way! Additionally, quizzes feedback instant results, so they’re great for tracking progress and seeing knowledge gaps.
Explain to Others
Some aspects of science can be quite complex- particularly if your child hopes to achieve the highest grades in some of the tougher aspects of the subject. To tackle this, suggest your teenager explains some of the biological processes to you- or to a sibling or friend! By doing this, your teen enhances their own understanding of the content, and is able to formulate clear and succinct ways of comprehending the information.
Pace and Segment
Our National 5 Biology course spans areas from cellular to the whole organism, to the study of ecosystems. With 108 lessons, our robust course is a fantastic way to learn, and we help students to pace and chunk their studies.
Pacing in biology is crucial: it’s so easy to overload the brain. Our courses are segmented into smaller, accessible lesson sizes. For example, in our ‘respiration’ lesson area, we have broken the content down into 6 manageable biology lessons, such as ‘stages of aerobic respiration’ and ‘fermentation in plants,’ so that your teenager can pace themselves for the most effective learning. What’s great about our online learning is that your teenager can pause our video lessons. This allows your teen to make notes of draw out diagrams. In addition to this, they can rewind and revisit the materials again and again!
We offer a free trial biology lesson here, which is the perfect way to get started with us. With us, your teen will be well on their way to being brilliant in biology!
