Four ready-to-use enrichment activities for KS3 Biology students who’ve mastered the basics of good and ill health, ideal for extension tasks, homework, cover lessons, or stretching high achievers. No preparation required. Suitable for students aged 11-14.

Good and ill health explores the difference between physical and mental health, and how to recognise a genuine symptom of disease rather than a harmless, everyday change. It also looks at why the world’s Blue Zones are home to some of the longest, healthiest lives on record, and what habits might explain it.

Each activity targets higher-order thinking: a 12-term vocabulary matching exercise covering key terms such as physical health, mental health, symptom, disease, and Blue Zone; a 28-mark challenge quiz including a data-interpretation question on Blue Zone life expectancy; a 20-mark case study comparing a hidden physical illness with a persistent low mood; and a creative Teach It Back task where students write a simplified health guide for a younger audience, assessed with a provided rubric. Full answer keys and marking guidance are included for all activities.

Pairs with the main 100-mark KS3 Biology worksheet on this topic, also on TES. Buy both together as a complete lesson bundle and save £1.

Google Classroom ready.
