Assessment criteria

A.P2Explain the role of energy in the body.
A.P3Describe how homeostatic mechanisms maintain an internal environment.
B.P4Describe the structure and function of body systems.
C.P5Explain the effect of disorders on human body systems.
C.P6Describe the effect of genetic and lifestyle factors on body systems.

Merit

3 criteria
A.M1Discuss how tissues and organs are organised in different body systems.

Distinction

2 criteria

Command verbs in this unit

The verb decides the depth expected — that is what separates Pass from Merit and Distinction work on the same learning aim.

DescribeExplainDiscussAnalyseEvaluate
Pearson's ladder runs Identify → Describe → Explain → Compare / Analyse → Evaluate / Justify / Assess. A Merit or Distinction criterion on the same aim always implies the Pass beneath it: an “evaluate” answer that never first “explains” fails, however polished it reads. Hover a verb for what it demands.

How checkb.tech checks this unit

Upload a learner's submission and checkb.tech reads it against exactly these criteria, reporting each one as met, partly met, or not met — with the evidence that informed the verdict cited, so every call is auditable.

The check runs against the official Pearson documents for this unit, and identical evidence always produces an identical result — the same script gets the same verdict every time.

It never awards a grade. You stay the assessor: confirm, dismiss, or act on every criterion before your assessment decision is final.
