These worksheets and presentation are suitable for both AS level and IGCSE/GCSE lessons on structure and function of the heart. The presentation os very simple and concise with no extraneous information to distract pupils from the key facts. This style is a bit of a reaction to some sample presentations I received that were appalling, packed with text, too many pictures on slides and extortionate prices. I just think that sometimes people still get too caught up in all the features of PowerPoint rather than the actual job of delivering key information in as direct a manner as possible (see my previous rant on using PowerPoint).

The worksheets are also simple and note that I have deliberately not included arrows in the labelling worksheets. This is to encourage students to pay close attention to the actual structure being labelled rather than the position of the word on the sheet (that is, not simply transcribing but actually LOOKING at the diagram itself). The worksheets are in colour but do photocopy well in black and white.

Also keep an eye out for the interactive quiz version for heart structure which is useful for independent learning activities or revision (should be added soon). This takes a bit of programming but I will still be offering it for FREE!
