Created using AQA Biology Trilogy GCSE specification. This resource contains 2 slides of activities, tailored to the specification. Top ways to use this resource: • Print off as a booklet and use alongside teaching • Set as homework • Revision lessons for tests and exams • Print off on card to create active recall flashcards – questions on the front, answers on the back Please note, this does not come with answers as it is meant to be an independent task using notes and revision guides to aid learning. All other topics available for Chemistry, Physics, Trilogy and Synergy available.

For the new OCR specification 12-14 lessons depending on pace. A tricky unit of work to navigate through - I have chosen to do it in the order below, you may wish to teach in a different order!
