This lesson is suitable for the AQA GCSE Biology and AQA Combined Science: Trilogy course looking at, and comparing, the organelles within Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells . When using the resource: ‘Knowledge Checks’ should be completed on Mini White Boards. The re-teach slide is there in case it is needed from the ‘Knowledge Check’ - hence, can be skipped over if not needed. Check for Understanding questions should be completed on Mini White Boards. Independent Practice questions should be completed in students’ exercise books - with students working silently and independently.

This lesson is suitable for the AQA GCSE Biology and AQA Combined Science: Trilogy course looking at the organelles within animal and plant cells, as well as their functions etc. The cardsort is the matching activity for students outlined on Slide 10, with Slide 11 showing students what they should have matched together. When using the resource: ‘Knowledge Checks’ should be completed on Mini White Boards. The re-teach slide is there in case it is needed from the ‘Knowledge Check’ - hence, can be skipped over if not needed. Check for Understanding questions should be completed on Mini White Boards (you do not need to ask all of them - it is for you to choose how many you would like to do). Independent Practice questions should be completed in students’ exercise books - with students working silently and independently.

This lesson is suitable for the AQA GCSE Biology and AQA Combined Science: Trilogy course looking at microscopes required practical. This lesson is a practical lesson which needs: microscopes, glass slides, cover slips, transparent rulers, onion cells (and lamps depending on your school microscopes). This lesson includes a video of how to complete the practical in full and an example exam question directly relating to this practical. It also breaks the practical down into its main two sections - the focusing and biological drawings first, before then moving on to calculating the mean length of an onion cell. When using the resource: ‘Knowledge Checks’ should be completed on Mini White Boards. The re-teach slide is there in case it is needed from the ‘Knowledge Check’ - hence, can be skipped over if not needed. Independent Practice questions should be completed in students’ exercise books - with students working silently and independently.

This lesson is suitable for the AQA GCSE Biology and AQA Combined Science: Trilogy course looking at the advantages and disadvantages for light and electron microscopes. The labelling a microscope worksheet is an extra (as in it does not have to feature in the lesson itself). When using the resource: ‘Knowledge Checks’ should be completed on Mini White Boards. The re-teach slide is there incase it is needed from the ‘Knowledge Check’ - hence, can be skipped over if not needed. Check for Understanding questions should be completed on Mini White Boards (you do not need to ask all of them - it is for you to choose how many you would like to do). Independent Practice questions should be completed in students’ exercse books - with students working silently and independently.

This lesson is suitable for the AQA GCSE Biology and AQA Combined Science: Trilogy course looking at magnification and how to calculate the magnification and/or length of a cell. It also aims to cover an introduction to Prefixes and Standard Form, as these are also asked of students in both Higher Tier and Foundation Tier exams (as show in the Independent Practice question section of this lesson). The “More Magnification Calculations” are for students to have more practice in using the magnification calculation. I would recommend printing the first page out to be used as a handout to students. When using the resource: ‘Knowledge Checks’ should be completed on Mini White Boards. The re-teach slide is there in case it is needed from the ‘Knowledge Check’ - hence, can be skipped over if not needed. Check for Understanding questions should be completed on Mini White Boards (you do not need to ask all of them - it is for you to choose how many you would like to do).

These resources can be used for any A level Physics exam board and the IB Physics course. They are designed to be used specifically for students entering into Post-16 education. The aim of this transition pack and summer homework is to give students an insight into Post-16 Physics, and to help prepare them for the change in demand from GCSE. The transition pack includes: An overview of A level Physics. Recommendations for books, films and video clips, that are interesting and relate to Physics. Recommendations for day trips and visits that relate to Physics. Details on how to create Cornell Notes Independent study tasks (to practice their note taking) In addition to this are summer homework tasks, which are designed to give students practice in some essential practical and mathematical skills. Summer homework includes: Mathematical booklet to practice skills in converting between units, using standard form, using significant figures and rearranging equations. Practical skills task to draw a graph of results (the graph is of resistivity and length of a wire - practical results are included) Practical skills task to calculate the gradient of a graph (students have to use the gradient to calculate the resistivity of the wire from the results - instructional video included) A practice A level exam question with calculation and longer written answer (mark scheme included).

This lesson is suitable for the AQA GCSE Biology and AQA Combined Science: Trilogy course looking at the function and adaptations of specialised cells in animals (sperm cell, muscle cell and nerve cell) and plants (root hair cell, xylem and phloem). When using the resource: ‘Knowledge Checks’ should be completed on Mini White Boards. The re-teach slide is there in case it is needed from the ‘Knowledge Check’ - hence, can be skipped over if not needed. Check for Understanding questions should be completed on Mini White Boards.
