KS3 Biology — Absorption and Transport of Nutrients — Extension Pack

🩸 Stretch high achievers further with four ready-to-use enrichment activities on absorption and transport of nutrients — no preparation required. Absorption and transport of nutrients covers how digested food is broken down, absorbed into the blood through the small intestine, and carried around the body by the circulatory system, and these tasks push students to apply that thinking, for KS3 students aged 11–14.

📦 What's included:

Vocabulary Matching (12 terms) — covering key words like villi, diffusion, and the circulatory system

Challenge Quiz (25 marks) — including a data interpretation question on surface area

Coeliac Disease Case Study (20 marks) — exploring how damaged villi affect nutrient absorption in real life

Teach It Back task — students explain absorption to a Year 5 audience, assessed with a provided rubric

Full answer keys and marking guidance included for all four activities.
