Y11 begin a new unit this week, on

aerobic and anaerobic respiration,
which will involve some experiments
related to fitness, and ties in well to
any theory work they will have done in
PE. Their homework will be GCSE
questions related to this, set at 3
different difficulty levels; they should
complete the questions for 2 of these
levels. The purpose of using GCSE
questions as homework is so that they

the type of questions they will get in
exams later this year and in end of
unit tests.
