2 double-sided worksheets on sampling plants. Perfect for the British summers or consolidation of the required practicals. One is a sheet on a belt transect, the other is a sheet on random sampling. Both sheets involve data analysis and working scientifically skills. Suited to the AQA Ecology topic 7, but will be relevant to other exam boards where plant sampling is required. Suggested Answers included

A fun quiz of the year for AS Biology (AQA) - it is likely to overlap with other exam board specifications, but I cannot vouch for this! It contains nearly 90 Questions and it easily lasts an hour. Covers a range of topics, particularly from Biological molecules and cells topics, and has some more serious sections - identifying molecules/ proteins, and some less biology related rounds - flags / womens world cup badges. I have created a 1% club round based on the style of questions in the TV series, which my students have loved (those that watch actual telly and not Netflix at least!) I run it as a pub-style quiz. Groups of 2-4 students, and they mark each others after a round All answers are provided *one round (6Questions) is based on the 2023 Women’s world cup - this could be updated to 2024 Men’s world cup badges… or beyond!

Genetic Engineering Cut and Stick Activity Students can sequence the process of making human insulin using genetically engineered bacteria. The sheet has a scaffoled space for them to stick their answers down and there are then follow-up questions on the second side. Projectable answers are also included

A Level Biology Maths Skills - Logarithms, Log graphs and exponential increases worksheet 4 sides and all answers included. The Worksheet gives brief summaries of the skills involved in working with factors of 10 and logarithms, as well us using 2 to the power functions for calculating the exponential increase of cell populations. 2 pages focus on dealing with log scales on graphs. My students have found these particularly useful, and these are definitiely an area for marginal gains with the examboard. The logarithmic question for AQA 2023 paper 3 was poorly answered with 17% of candidates not even attempting the question. The log graph question in 2023 paper 1 saw only 7% of students achieve 2 marks.

A three sided worksheet and answers. Tackles questions to do with uncertainties within measurements. Has questions to do with single measurements, dual measurements, multiplying uncertainties and powers - links to the AQA Biology specification and the Practical handbook.

A Level Biology Maths Skills - Revision - Solutions and Dilutions A worksheet based activity consisting of 2 sides This worksheet explores volume conversions, calculating how much mass of a substance is required to make up a particular concentration, how to dilute a stock solution, and how to perform serial dilutions. The second side is exam style questions. Markscheme included - handwritten as the working out is all fully shown

Cut and stick activity and follow-up questions on in vivo gene cloning (DNA Technology) on a double-sided file. Covers the process including: restriction enzymes, DNA ligase, marker genes, replica plating, antibiotic resistance and GFP Looks really nice if done on full colour (just don’t tell your HoD!) and full markschemes are included for the cut and stick ordering activity as well as the follow-up questions

This is a work sheet on Maths skills for Biologists, which focusses on Logarithms and guides students through how to use their calculator to work out log calculations. It includes a comprehensive markscheme. The seconds side just includes a PPQ involving natural logs from a past paper.

A visual 13 slide presentation which runs through the Sanger sequencing method in a fully animated comprehensive manner. The starter slide explores nucleotide structure and dideoxynucleotides. The slides then move onto the reaction, gel electrophoresis, autoradiograph production, and some key points about the value of genome sequencing.

A short animated presentation to discuss how siRNA works to prevent translation of mRNA and potential applications.

A three-sided worksheet that covers gene probes and genetic tests. It is specifically aimed for the AQA A level Biology spec, but will be appropriate for most exam boards. It assesses student understanding of some core principles, whilst running through how geentic tests are carried out for cystic fibrosis, huntington’s and digeorge syndrome (using chromsomal micro-array). Comprehensive and projectable markscheme included

***Get 90% off the cost of your first resource worth up to £10 with code JANUARY90. New buyers only!*** A PowerPoint presentation which you can use to guide your students through a rat dissection with an accompanying sheet which allows students to identify and colour organs in thoracic and abdominal views

GCSE blood components task - cut and stick activity for students to link function to the components of the blood. There are extension questions below the table and projectable answers too on a PowerPoint file

***Get 90% off the cost of your first resource worth up to £10 with code JANUARY90. New buyers only!*** Reactions of metals, metal oxides, metal hydroxides and metal carbonates with acids. Students can practise identifying the salts, or which reactants are needed to form a particular salt. For each equation they have to produce a balanced equation. This activity has worked well with my higher ability groups as a piece of AfL. The answers are actually included within a PowerPoint presentation for you to project.
