Find out the difference between physical health and mental health in this free KS3 Biology worksheet, no preparation needed, just download and use. Perfect as a lesson starter, homework task, or quick revision activity for students aged 11-14.

Physical health is the condition of the body, while mental health covers how a person feels, thinks and acts. Both can be affected by a range of everyday factors, from illness and injury to stress and loneliness.

This worksheet includes three questions worth 13 marks in total: a multiple-choice question testing the definition of physical health, a fill-in-the-blank task covering the definitions of physical and mental health alongside common factors that affect each, and a short-answer question asking students to suggest ways to support someone’s physical and mental wellbeing. A full answer key with marking guidance is included.

Want more? The full 100-mark premium worksheet goes deeper into why the world’s Blue Zones hold the secret to long, healthy lives, why health is best understood as a range from good to ill rather than a simple label, and how to identify a genuine symptom of disease. A complete lesson bundle combining the full worksheet and extension activities is also available on the iNewittAll TES store.

Google Classroom ready.
