This GCSE Biology worksheet focuses on blood glucose regulation and how insulin and glucagon control glucose levels through negative feedback. Perfect for Paper 2 exam practice, the resource is fully scaffolded and differentiated to support students of all abilities in structuring extended answers.

What’s included:

  • A 6-mark exam-style question with clear success criteria
  • “Sticky note” support for command words, success criteria, and key scientific keywords
  • A fill-in-the-gaps activity with word bank to build a full-mark answer
  • A model 6-mark response for self/peer assessment
  • A “vague student answer” for critique and improvement (underline vague phrases, correct mistakes)

Why it works:
Encourages students to use key terminology (insulin, glucagon, glycogen, liver, negative feedback)
Step-by-step scaffolding builds confidence with extended writing
Differentiated tasks support weaker students while challenging higher ability learners
Ideal for GCSE Biology Paper 2 revision, classroom teaching, or homework
