PE Applied: Case Studies for OCR A Level PE

Don’t just develop students’ knowledge – apply it!

7–8 unique and student-friendly case studies presented as magazine-style articles with progressive questions, covering ‘1.3 Biomechanics’ and ‘3.2 Contemporary Issues in Physical Activity and Sport’ of the OCR A Level PE specification.

An ingenious and versatile way to cover the content – flipped learning, independent learning tasks, last minute revision.

Excellent way to extend the learning of PE students, especially on this difficult topic area.

What do teachers say about this resource? (11205)

Very good resource for A Level Students. All AO’s covered and a nice mix of questions, as would appear in the exam. Really good and current.
Nice links for extended reading. I like the “expand your knowledge” box, e.g. the breaking 2 documentary. The case studies / scenarios are that good – they can be used as a tool to link to other topics on the course, not just Biomechanics. I would use as Flipped Learning and Independent Study.

Really excellent resource. A great companion for the course and will aid students and teachers greatly. The content is suitable and specific to the spec. I like the added links at the end of the articles to Youtube videos... think this provides excellent way to extend the learning of PE students, especially on this difficult topic area. Great way to consolidate learning, could be used as homework, especially online homework in the current situation.
