Work through the different estimations for working out the energy balance someone would require to complete various tasks. The amount of METS attributed to different levels of activities can be found on page 41. Understanding the amount of calories you are putting in and what you would require for a task assist you with maintaining a healthy weight along with staying sufficiently fueled for your sport or activity.

Exam
The exam can start during lesson 2 (if you do not have a timetabled lesson), I will be in L1 with year 13. Otherwise please arrive at the beginning of break to get started on it, you will have until the end of lesson 4.

Please see me if you have any issues.

Reminders

To both year 12 & 13. I hope you hav had relaxing break whilst also getting a good amount of work done. As we get ready for one last push before the study leave I wanted to give a couple of reminders.

Year 12:
  • The coursework support session is on tomorrow (Saturday) 3 - 5pm.  You do not need to stay until 5pm if you do not want to, if you only have a couple of questions and want to clarify a couple of points and then leave that id fine.  The aim is for you to be able to ask any specific questions ahead of the final hand in.  Come with any specific questions you may have on any of the elements.  Your video editing should be 99% done by now.
  •  Remember to hand in the different pieces of work you were set before the holiday, especially the research on your designated countries.
Year 13:
  • Exam question in exam conditions on Sunday
  • Full mock exam the following week
  • Revision in the other lessons of the week
  • If during your revision prep and work over the holidays you have come across any particular question, write them down and hand them in on Sunday.  If there are any reoccuring themes i will address thosei the lessons and in revision tasks.

Please look at some of the old specification papers I have put in below.
They are not in the same format, however there are still questions from the paper you can use based on the current specification.

Year 12 Students

This task will need to be completed after we have gone through work on health, fitness & exercise in this Thursdays lesson:

  • Make notes on 'the rate of fat loss'
  • Define Basal Metabolic Rate
  • What is the link between BMR & weight / fat loss?
  • What factors are involved in the raising or lowering of BMR?
  • Consider reasons for the above.

Year 12 Students

Along with completing any improvements on the 2.1 & 2.4 work over the holidays, you have the following task to complete:


The countries you have been assigned to research are the following:
Saif - USA & Japan
A-L - UK & Finland
Lisa - Japan & UK
Conor - Finland & USA
Freddie - USA & Japan
Bami - UK & Finland
Reyhaan - Finland & Japan

You can obviously work with your peers who are looking into the same country.

You must submit your two pieces of work into your 'shared resources' folder through Dropbox.
I will then share the other countries between all of you so you will have research from all 4 countries to reference for your revision.
