Comprehensive Science Revision Checklist

Biology: Understanding Life Around You
Cell biology kicks off your journey into the living world. You'll explore how animal and plant cells differ, discover the simpler structure of prokaryotic cells (like bacteria), and see how cells become specialised for specific jobs. Understanding microscopes and magnification helps you see these tiny structures clearly.
Cell division and stem cells reveal how organisms grow and repair themselves. Meanwhile, diffusion, osmosis and active transport explain how substances move in and out of cells - crucial processes that keep everything alive.
The organisation section shows how cells work together. You'll study the digestive system (how your body breaks down food), the cardiovascular system (your heart and blood vessels), and non-communicable diseases like cancer and diabetes.
Infection and response covers the microscopic battles happening around us. From viral diseases and bacterial diseases to fungal diseases and harmful protists, you'll learn how our human defence systems fight back. Vaccinations and drug development show how science protects us from these threats.
Quick Tip: Connect each topic to real life - think about how photosynthesis powers your breakfast or how your muscles use different types of respiration during exercise!
Chemistry: The Building Blocks of Everything
Atomic structure and the periodic table forms chemistry's foundation. You'll understand atoms, elements and compounds, dive into atomic structure, and explore the history of the atom. The periodic table becomes less intimidating once you grasp its development and learn about key groups like alkali metals, halogens and noble gases.
Bonding explains why substances behave differently. Ionic bonding creates compounds like salt, whilst covalent bonding forms molecules like water. Metallic bonding gives metals their unique properties, and understanding states of matter helps predict how materials will behave.
Quantitative chemistry brings maths into the mix. Conservation of mass shows that atoms don't disappear in reactions, relative formula mass helps you calculate molecular weights, and moles (for higher tier students) provide a way to count particles. Concentrations of solutions connects to real-world applications.
Chemical changes explores reactions in action. The reactivity series predicts which metals will react, whilst acids and alkalis plus neutralisation explain everyday chemistry. Electrolysis demonstrates how electricity can drive chemical reactions.
Remember: Chemistry patterns repeat throughout the periodic table - once you understand one group, others become much easier!
Physics: How the Universe Works
Energy concepts underpin everything in physics. You'll master different energy stores, calculate kinetic, gravitational potential and elastic energy, and understand power and efficiency. National and global energy resources connect physics to environmental issues you'll face in the future.
Electricity governs our modern world. Learning circuit symbols is like learning a new language, whilst understanding current and voltage plus resistance and potential difference helps you analyse circuits. Series and parallel circuits behave very differently, and mains electricity through the national grid powers our society.
The particle model of matter explains material behaviour. Solids, liquids and gases have distinct properties, density determines whether objects float, and specific heat capacity plus latent heat explain heating and cooling processes. Pressure affects everything from weather to cooking.
Atomic structure reveals matter's deepest secrets. Understanding basic atomic structure and isotopes leads to radiation - a topic that sounds scary but follows clear rules. Radioactive contamination teaches you about real-world applications and safety.
Physics Hack: Always start with what you can observe, then work backwards to understand the underlying principles - physics explains the world you already know!

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
