This worksheet has been created in accordance to the NEW AQA specification (2018) for the Structure and Bonding Topic (C3) It summarises all the types of bonding that students are required to know for their GCSE’s in one simple table. Easy to differentiate for high and low ability students. Check out the lesson I used this worksheet where the answers have also been provided: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/aqa-new-specification-bonding-summary-c3-12352310 AQA spec link: 4.2 4.2 Bonding, structure, and the properties of matter. Chemists use theories of structure and bonding to explain the physical and chemical properties of materials. Analysis of structures shows that atoms can be arranged in a variety of ways, some of which are molecular while others are giant structures. Theories of bonding explain how atoms are held together in these structures. Scientists use this knowledge of structure and bonding to engineer new materials with desirable properties. The properties of these materials may offer new applications in a range of different technologies

Electronic markbooks are the way forward, I always create a markbook for each of my classes at the begininning of the school year. It’s the ideal way to not only record class tests/homework but to monitor progress. Save paper and keep it backed up on to your schools ‘cloud network’ so it can never be lost! I have applied conditional formatting rules to relevant cells to make it easier to identify specifics and provided a key :-) Download this resource for completely FREE all you have to do is input the data! Please share your thoughts in a review! This markbook has been perfected over five years, if you have any helpful suggestions please leave a comment.

Eukaryotic cell structure lesson created in accordance to the NEW AQA Biology 7402 Specification (2017) . 3.2 Cells Designed for highly able A-level class. Includes: questions, embedded videos, slide timers, slide animations, interactive answers on slides, and a plenary. AQA Specification reference: 3.2.1.1 ALevel Biology Textbook: Section 2 Cells, Chapter 3.5

6.5.2 Work done and energy transfer lesson created in accordance to the NEW AQA Specification (9-1). Includes: slide animations, embedded videos, and worksheet with answers as well as a interactive review task. If for any reason the video link does not work, a URL has also been included in the notes. For further enquiries please email paperfriendlyresources@gmail.com

If you have the opportunity this is an excellent practical to do with your KS4 separate sciences classes. It is not required but WS skills can be learnt from this activity. I adapted this worksheet after stubbling across a version on the net, I have tried to make it as student friendly as possible and also shared with you an image of the complete dissection done by some of my talented Y11 students. Credit to: https://science.jburroughs.org/resources/eye/eyedissection.html if you’d like the original version.

Complete lesson Includes: embedded videos, slide timers, slide animations, interactive answers on slides, and a plenary 3.2.1.1 In complex multicellular organisms, eukaryotic cells become specialised for specific functions. Specialised cells are organised into tissues, tissues into organs and organs into systems.

AQA A-Level New specification-The cell cycle-Cells 3.8 (3.2.2) Includes: questions, embedded videos, slide timers, slide animations, interactive answers on slides, and a plenary. Also includes a mini topic test, with markscheme. AQA Specification reference: 3.2.2 ALevel Biology Textbook: Section 2 Cells, Chapter 3.8

Mini topic test on Mitosis and the cell cycle, can be set as an open or closed book asssessment. Mark scheme included.

Unit 2-Practical scientific procedures and techniques Learning aim C: Undertake chromatographic techniques to identify components in mixtures. For many of my students this was the first time they needed to write a scientific report i thus produced a guide for this learning aim. This was a huge success and i had the pleasure of marking some beautifully written reports. The relevant P/M/D criteria for this learning aim have been covered within this guide. I’ve also attached the specification and assignment briefs so you can have it all in one place. Best of all enjoy it all for free :)

Aims In this activity students will use an aseptic (sterile) technique and a small part of a cauliflower ‘flower’ to clone and create an entirely new plant. Learning outcomes After completing this practical, students should be able to: • state why plant clones are genetically identical to each other • explain how using tissue culture creates a clone of a plant • explain why it is easier to clone a plant than an animal • explain and carry out a practical accurately and safely in order to successfully clone a plant.

Always helps to have a copy of this in the back of students exercise books.

I've attached an applied science-revision checklist. It's essentially a copy of the Pearson applied science specification-I've just broken it down and chunked relevant topics. I have handed this to students so they can use it as a revision tool. Hope it helps. I've also made a checklist for the physics and chemistry unit.

For ease of use i have uploaded AQA’s Required practical worksheets for all 10 biology practicals. Please note this included the practicals for separate science students.

This worksheet requires students to complete unlabelled diagrams using the AQA Biology textbook (page 188-189). This resource has been created to support the lesson on dialysis (check it out). *Top tip-print 2 copies to 1 A4 page to save printing*. AQA spec link: 5.3.3 People who suffer from kidney failure may be treated by using kidney dialysis. Students should know the basic principles of the operation of a dialysis machine.

Worksheet that can be used for classwork or assigned as homework. It covers WS 1.2 and WS 1.4 in the AQA specification ‘Students should be able to interpret ray diagrams, showing these two common defects of the eye and demonstrate how spectacle lenses correct them.’

An Internet-research based activity that allows students to explore the Wolly mammoth extinction theories. This resource allows students to apply their knowledge, if time allows it is also a fantastic way for students to present their findings to fellow classmates. Please leave a review on this resource.

Attached is the sample assessment material on UNIT 1 For the NEW (2016) BTEC applied science specification. I have given my students each a copy of the sample paper (w/o mark scheme) for an open book assessment, in preparation for their mocks but you can use it is as a class test. For ease of use i converted the PDF file into a word document which i have also attached. It was very fiddly to find this on the pearson website and i dislike editing pdf documents so i hope it has saved you some hassle. Please leave a review to let me know if it was useful or how you used it in your lesson.
