This resource was made for my students to follow a comprehensive lesson on Blood Glucose Control. It shows Diabetes, the symptoms and how medical staff test for blood glucose levels. It includes clinistix, blood glucose testing and blood glucose monitoring devices.
The worksheets include a revision card, a quick test and an activity.
This resource works really well when students carry out the Urine stick test practical. An important fil-in help sheet is included for the practical.
A map and information about endangered species. Students have to make a poster showing all the endangered animals on the map. I had to bring up a map of the world whilst doing this activity as many are unaware where most places are.
My SEN group worked really well in groups, discussing, working as a team, and producing a nice resource which can be put up showing students work, and also they get to understand about endangered species.
I then set them a homework to chose one animal and tell me why it is endangered. Keywords can be put on the board to help.

These power points were made for my KS3 students but I also used it with my GCSE foundation students to help them understand how to draw a correct scientific Table and when to use a bar graph and when to use a line graph. It also explains the difference between independent and dependent variables.
These power points explains how to compose a Good Table (headings, columns, anomalies, averages) and how to plot the correct graph. It concentrates on bar graphs and line graphs, independent and dependent variables. Actual examples shown and finishes with a task for the students as a plenary.
Also included are help sheets for table and graph drawing which can be stuck in the front of students books as a reminder. (I print both and print as A5 help sheets.

This 18 slide ppt is covering the New AQA AS Biology requirements for planning an experiment, processing the data, presenting data, drawing conclusions and evaluating data. It was made so I can use each section when carrying out experiments and showing students - key words, apparatus, equipment and techniques what is required for the New syllabus when carrying out scientific experiments. Can be used over many lessons, or each time an experiment is completed to reinforce standards required.
Each slide(s) covers a specific area required for the scientific experiments:
1. Planning - keywords, apparatus, equipment and techniques
2.How to produce the perfect table
3. Risk assessments
4.Percentages, percentage changes, averages, ratios and SD
5. Perfect graphs, finding rates an
6. Correlation and causation
7. Errors in measurements, minimising errors
8. Evaluation
