This is a very useful and comprehensive resource for students studying A level Biology. A great refresher for the teacher too or someone teaching Biology who may not be so confident when it comes to teaching statistics. The resource is a 22 page booklet which covers all the key aspects of statistics required for Biology at A level. There are worked examples and questions for the students to work through. This booklet has been designed to be fully explanatory so that students can work through it independently. The booklet is fully comprehensive and no other resources are needed; all probability tables are given with the questions. The key topics covered in the booklet are: 1.) Why use statistics on data 2.) Calculating standard deviation and its meaning 3.) The student t-test 4.) The Spearman rank correlation coefficient 5.) The Chi-squared test The booklet should take approximately two 1 hour lessons to complete, dependent on how familiar the students are with statistics. Those studying A level Maths and Geography may be more confident working through the calculations and understanding the outcomes. A separate answer booklet is provided with answers to all questions given.

Always a challenging topic at GCSE, this collection of visual worksheets and posters should help your students get to grips with the Carbon Cycle. There is a worksheet included, available in both colour and black and white for students to complete. Additionally a separate A4 poster for students to complete, also in colour or black and white. There is an answer sheet for the teacher included in the pack, great for non-specialists teaching GCSE Biology. Perfect for use when both teaching the topic area and also when revising. The worksheet will help students learn the parts of the Carbon Cycle and familiarise themselves with key words. As a suggestion the resource could be laminated and completed by students using OHP pens and then cleaned off for future use with other pupils. Could even be used as a short progress test with students too. There are two A3 wall posters, for classroom display, of the completed carbon cycle included too in this pack of resources. The poster comes in both colour and black and white. The black and white version could be coloured in by students if desired.

This is an all inclusive worksheet pack on the well-known osmosis and potato chip investigation. In reality this practical does not always generate the expected results due to sources of error and time constraints to set up, hence why I have put this investigation pack together. All answers are provided for the teacher. The pack contains the following: Worksheet 1 introduces the set up of the investigation and pupils need to come up with a hypothesis. Pupils are given results and are asked to calculate change in mass and percentage change in mass. Three versions of the graph paper are provided, each with a different level of support, as many pupils will find drawing the graph with a negative y axis challenging. Worksheet 3 focuses on identifying the different variables and drawing a conclusion from the results. Worksheet 4 focuses on sources of error and how to improve the practical to reduce these, so focuses more on developing pupils’ evaluative skills. There are also extension questions on osmosis and its effect on cells, for those students who may work quicker through the activity.

The GCSE Biology worksheet pack focuses on the topic of respiration. It is aimed at the CIE IGCSE course and comprehensively covers topic 12. There are four worksheets for students to complete, covering the following subtopics: WS1 An introduction to respiration and uses of energy in the body WS2 Aerobic respiration and using the respirometer to investigate the rate of respiration WS3 Anaerobic respiration and oxygen debt recovery WS4 An overview of aerobic and anaerobic respiration in humans Clear and detailed answer sheets are provided for each of the four worksheets.

A poster pack covering the stages of both mitosis and meiosis, with diagrams and detailed explanations of what is happening at each stage. Ideal for A level Biology students. The posters are great for display around the classroom or to give to the students for revision. All posters have been provided in a choice of black and white or colour. Students may wish to label the diagrams with the names of the different structures, detailed in the accompanying explanation of each stage. Both posters have been provided in both an A3 and A4 format to allow for printing in either size. I would advise to print on A3 if possible for the meiosis poster, as it keeps all the stages of meiosis on one sheet and makes it easier for the student to compare the two different stages of meiosis.

A cut and stick and cloze activity aimed at A level students. The activity is designed so that students can learn and identify the key stages of mitosis and describe what happens in each of the main stages. The cloze activity allows students to become more familiar with the key terminology associated with this topic. This activity could also be used for able GCSE students. This activity can be completed by students independently as all instructions are given on the sheets. Ideal for both teaching the topic and also as a revision aide. A completed answer sheet is provided for the teacher.
