  1. SMART REVISION MIND MAPS

  2. Why Mind Maps? • They are ‘active’ revision can make it more interesting & more effective for many • They promote in depth learning = understanding • They help to organise your learning • Shows how your mind is organising info. • They make recall easier • Good for complex topics with many smaller topic areas e.g. Biology! • Good for essay planning

  3. Limitations of Mind Maps • Not so effective for basic factual learning • Work best when you already know something about the subject • Difficult to operate for certain subjects? • Not a substitute for practising exam questions • Ought not to be the only form of revision used

  4. Stages in Mind Mapping • Be prepared : large sheet of paper, coloured pens / pencils / your notes / texts etc • Generate lots of information about the topic - Brainstorm the topic (best with more than 1 person - Go thro’ notes, handouts etc highlighting main topic areas - simply use the topic headings from a text

  5. Brainstorm on Blood Circulatory System Oxy & deoxy blood Transport of oxygen Heart cycle Red cells arteries atria valves CO2 t/port capillaries veins AV valves White cells Heart structure diastole Semi lunar valves lymphocytes blood Cardiac muscle ventricles systole AV node Control of heart rate

  6. Producing the Map • Make links between the brainstorm results - use colour coding - link related ideas with circles & lines - think about why things are related

  7. Producing the map - 2 • Large sheet of paper - write the main topic in the centre • Around this write the major sub topics • From each sub topic draw branches to linked ideas / facts • Write along the link lines WHY these are linked (vital to help understanding)

  8. The finished product • The learning takes place in the doing but… • Finished maps can be useful quick revision tools e.g. day before the exam

  9. Structures CIRCULATORY SYSTEM Blood Need for.. Functions

  10. SA node in RA Atrio-ventricular Semi-lunar L & R Atria Stop back flow from V to A Stop back flow form arteries into heart L side = oxy blood R side = Deoxy blood Myogenic Slow to fatigue Conducts impulses 4 chambers Valves Cardiac muscle L&R Ventricles Double circulation HEART Supply blood to.. LV thicker wall to pump blood all round body Structures Coronary vessels Thin walls ..Little muscle & elastic tissue Blood Vessels Thick walls Smooth muscle Elastic tissue VEINS ARTERIES Valves help blood return to Hrt. Flow dirn = back to Hrt. Flow smooth @ Low press Blood @ High press Flow pulsed Flow away from Hrt CAPILLARIES V thin walls = 1 cell. V.permeable. Flow slow. Materials load & unload by DIFFUSION
