Slides 12-21 Sampling plants using a quadrat
Pitfall trap ws is slides 9&11
Quadrat question ws is slides 16-19
Written for AQA Trilogy but would suit any GCSE.
Slide 1 - Learning framework
Slide 2 - Key words for this lesson. Can be printed off for those that need the spellings. More able students can use it as the basis for a mind map.
Slide 3 - details of decay
Slides 4-6 - stimulus photos for discussion
Slide 7 - conditions needed for decay
Slide 8 - carbon cycle diagram
Slide 9 - link to activity
Slides 10-11 - four multiple choice questions
Slides 12-22 - True or false questions
Slide 23 - two 1mark questions.
Worksheet with a 6mark question can be printed A4 or A5 by printing 2 to a page.
This is a chemistry lesson on chemical reactions.The Excel spreadsheet contains a student worksheet, technician’s notes and full teacher’s notes all on separate sheets within the spreadsheet.
The powerpoint has 3 slides. Slide 1 is a learning framework for the lesson. Slide 2 is a visual aid for the starter. ( Any ‘naughty kids in a lab’ type worksheet you may have could be used here if you prefer.) Slide 3 is a group of words that you can leave on screen whilst the practical is being done so that students have spellings of words they might need to complete their worksheet.
Topic consolidation and/or revision activity sheets. Cut out, rearrange, stick onto A3 sheet, add diagrams and/or annotations to justify your arrangement. Written with AQA Trilogy Biology paper 1 in mind.
Consolidation of scientific vocabulary. GCSE written for AQA Trilogy. Each 12 squares will fit onto a single page in an A4 exercise book. Answer sheets also included.
These are my mindmaps for the AQA Biology GCSE specification .
I did it for myself when the new spec. 9-1 levels came out. It was my way of identifying how this spec. was structured. It can also be used for the Biology section of Trilogy, although the numbers may not match, the headings will. If a section is in higher tier only it is labelled with (H) and if it is only on the Biology and not the Trilogy it is labelled with (B).
Although I did this primarily for myself, some of my colleagues are also using them and when I left my folder open on the desk I found students asking me for copies. I do not claim that they would suit everyone but if you have that sort of need for a complete overview, in a non-linear format, it might suit you. I have some students using them as tick lists, others highlighting the sections they want to cover for revision. I have even offered them at the start of a topic to certain students. Some would be frightened off by them, so you have to be selective.
Each mindmap also contains the keywords and their definitions that now need to be learned in the relevant section. Individual mindmaps are available at £4 each.There is also a free resource that is a summary of the whole Biology specification.
