What is COPD?
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is a progressive lung condition that makes breathing difficult. Let’s examine its features.
Key Features of COPD
Includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Causes breathlessness, chronic cough, and frequent chest infections.
Causes and Risk Factors
Smoking is the leading cause. Other risks include air pollution, occupational dust and fumes, and genetic factors.
Case Study Introduction
You will receive an exam-style case study on a COPD patient. Read carefully: this will be the focus for AO1, AO2, and AO3 practice.
AO1, AO2, AO3 Explained
AO1: Knowledge and understanding. AO2: Application of knowledge to the scenario. AO3: Analysis and evaluation.
Modelling Exam Answers
Let’s look at how to write strong answers using AO1, AO2, and AO3 skills: I do, We do, You do.
Modelling Answers: I Do
Let’s look at an example. I’ll model how to answer a question based on the COPD case study using AO1, AO2, and AO3 skills.
AO1 Knowledge and understanding of COPD and interpretation of data may include
COPD is a disease which affects the lungs and reduces oxygen exchange at the alveoli

Modelling Answers: I Do
Let’s look at an example. I’ll model how to answer a question based on the COPD case study using AO1, AO2, and AO3 skills.
AO2 Application of knowledge and understanding of COPD and interpretation of the data may include
There is no data provided on levels of air pollution in any of the areas / there is no data to suggest that the levels of air pollution are higher in Blackpool than in the other areas.

Modelling Answers: I Do
Let’s look at an example. I’ll model how to answer a question based on the COPD case study using AO1, AO2, and AO3 skills.
AO3 Evaluation of the conclusion
As there is no data provided on levels of air pollution in Blackpool, it is not possible to conclude that it is the cause of the increased number of deaths in Blackpool, which does not support the conclusion.
We Do: Guided Practice
Now on your mini whiteboards come up with another AO3
Group Rotation Task
In groups, identify AO1, AO2, and AO3 points from the case study and write them on flip chart paper. Rotate to review others’ work.
