How this programme works
The whole of KS3 biology in ten weeks: cells, body systems and health, then photosynthesis, respiration, ecosystems, reproduction, inheritance and evolution.
10 weeks, one theme each
Every week has a clear focus so you always know what you are working on.
22 lessons
Two or three short lessons a week, each one marking itself as you go.
10 weekly assignments
A mixed set written for that week, so you find out what stuck before you move on.
Two days a week to review
Each week ends with a review day and a rest day, so your streak is safe.
A mentor on hand
Premium members can message their mentor from the top of this page at any time.
A video drop-in every Saturday
At 12:00 UK time, premium members join a live call and ask anything, face to face.
A final review
One longer test across every week at the end. Pass it, or aim for a distinction, and see exactly which weeks to revisit.
A cohort with you
Everyone who enrols starts on the same Monday and shares a leaderboard.
What you will cover
KS3 Biology 1: Cells and organisation · KS3 Biology 2: Movement, nutrition and digestion · KS3 Biology 3: Gas exchange and health · KS3 Biology 4: Photosynthesis, respiration and ecosystems · KS3 Biology 5: Reproduction, inheritance and evolution

Example lesson: KS3 Biology 1: Cells and organisation
This is the very first lesson of week 1, open to everyone with an account. It shows how a lesson moves from a short explanation to activities that mark themselves.
