How to make GCSE science revision cards from your lessons

Most GCSE science students already have the material they need: lesson slides, revision notes and past topic sheets. The difficulty is turning that material into cards you can review in short sessions. DeckOwl takes your own files and produces GCSE science Anki flashcards from them, so the cards reflect what your teacher actually covered.

  • Biology, chemistry and physics topics from your own notes or slides
  • Cards written as a question on the front and an answer on the back
  • Spaced repetition so weak topics come back before exams
  • Export to Anki, PDF, DOCX or CSV on the Plus plan
Example GCSE science flashcards (biology, chemistry, physics)
What is the function of the mitochondria?They are the site of aerobic respiration, where energy is released from glucose to make ATP.
What is the general formula for alkanes?CnH2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms in the molecule.
What equation links force, mass and acceleration?F = m × a, which is Newton's second law of motion.
What is the difference between diffusion and osmosis?Diffusion is the net movement of particles down a concentration gradient, while osmosis is the movement of water across a partially permeable membrane.
What is the relative charge of an electron?-1, so it is negatively charged and has a negligible mass compared with a proton or neutron.

Built from your own material

Upload PDFs, PowerPoint slides, Word documents, typed notes or photos of pages. DeckOwl reads the text and turns it into cards that match your course.

Spaced repetition

Cards you find hard come back sooner, and cards you know well are spaced further apart, so you spend less time on what you already remember.

Export to Anki

On Plus you can export your GCSE science decks to Anki as well as to PDF, DOCX or CSV. Students with a school email get 40% off.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slide deck, Word file, text notes or a photo of a textbook page for biology, chemistry or physics.

Review the generated cards

Check the flashcards for accuracy, edit any that need changing and remove the ones you do not need.

Study with spacing, then export

Revise in the browser on the free plan, or export your deck to Anki on Plus to study alongside your other subjects.

Good cards are short and specific. One card should test one fact, definition or equation, such as the function of a named organelle or the units used in a formula. Check each generated card against your notes before you study it, and remove any that are vague or too wordy.

Spaced repetition does the scheduling for you. Rate how well you recalled each card and the hard ones return sooner. Students on the free plan can study in the browser, and Plus users can export the same deck to Anki.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for GCSE science revision?

There is no fixed number. Many students make a few cards per lesson topic, then delete the cards they already know well so their daily reviews stay manageable.

What is the best way to study GCSE science flashcards?

Review a small set every day rather than cramming, and be honest when you rate your recall. Spaced repetition works best when you study regularly over several weeks before your exams.

Can I export DeckOwl flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but export is a paid feature on the Plus plan, at $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Is there a free plan?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. No credit card is needed to start, and students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
