Visually appealing worksheets covering the processes of transcription and translation. Relevant to all A-level Biology exam boards. Useful as a revision / homework exercise or as a quick assessment.

A scaffolded version, with ‘fill in the gap’ structure. Completed versions with answers are also included.

OCR A A-level Biology Spaced Repetition Timetable for Year 13 2024-2025 The timetable has 5 repetitions of each topic scheduled (efforts have been made to group together topics that are often linked in synoptic questions at least once). A blank version of the timetable is also included (with only topics and dates completed) in case students wish to plan their own timings for repetitions. This timetable can also be purchased as part of the Ultimate OCR A-level Biology Revision Bundle, which includes: Module 1-6 Flashcards PAG revision sheets Year 13 spaced repetition timetable

I designed this 12-page A4 workbook of exam-style questions to help my students consolidate the Biological Molecules topic. Written with the AQA specification in mind, but suitable for other exam boards. Covers all the key content for Section 1 of the AQA A-level Biology specification. I tend to give this to students to guide their revision, but it would also be a really useful activity for cover lessons. A fully completed version of the workbook with model answers is included.

Activity designed for sections 3.7.2 and 3.7.3 of the AQA specification (however would also work well for other exam boards). 16 tasks divided into 4 themed stations (2 on population genetics, 1 on the different types of natural selection and 1 on speciation). Designed as a group revision activity. PDF includes task card sheets to be printed, cut out (and laminated). Also includes student answer sheets (which correspond to the task card layout), along with full teacher answers. PDF is black and white only - I printed each station on a different coloured card/paper before laminating.

I’ve been using the ‘past paper’ method for years with my students. Students complete a past paper, mark and analyse their results using MARCKS and then write SMART targets to plan targeted revision sessions. If they don’t comfortably acheive their target grade in the first attempt, they are encouraged to repeat the past paper 2-3 days later (after having completed targeted revision). I’ve found that giving students access to this editable spreadsheet has massively increased motivation to actually use the method properly and stick with it. Students can select from drop down boxes to input their current grade for Biology, Chemistry & Physics. Then they input their target grade. Everytime they complete a past paper, they can input their mark, percentage & grade. The spreadsheet has space for 3 attempts at each paper. Finally at the end of each row, students can select whether they have achieved their target grade for that past paper or not. This is designed for students studying separate sciences, a spreadsheet for trilogy students will be made available ASAP. If you need to clear the text from a cell with a drop down box - DO NOT DELETE IT as this will delete the formatting for the cell. Just select ‘none’ from the drop down box. Available as .numbers or .xlsx download. This spreadsheet does NOT seem to work on iPads I’m afraid, but I have tested it on an iMac, macbook & a laptop running excel and the formatting appears to work properly.

10 consolidation tasks/activities covering AS Biology content. Perfect for a revision lesson or a fun end-of-term activity. Add a competitive element by using alongside one of my ‘fun team game ideas’ and give the winning team a small prize.

In vitro cloning / PCR (Where relevant, a scaffolded gap-fill style version and a blank version is included). Full answer sheets are included, which could alternatively be used as handouts/revision sheets. My students love completing these visually appealing worksheets, which break topics down into manageable chunks. Useful as a revision exercise or as a quick assessment. All worksheets are black and white to allow students to add colour to the diagrams, a process which is thought to aid the formation of visual memories.

Revision sheets for required practicals 1-6 (AQA AS Biology). Despite being worth 15% of the marks, so many students don’t allocate specific revision time to the required practicals. I designed these sheets for my own students to encourage specific revision of the practicals and have seen a great improvement in practical knowledge and the ability to answer practical-based questions. Each sheet includes key information, an example method (where relevant) and most importantly, exam-style questions and model answers. The model answers for the exam-style questions have been written based on previous mark schemes, but I cannot guarantee that future mark schemes will be exactly the same. The model answers are for guidance only. Students should be encouraged to use these sheets as a starting point and update/annotate with any further information as needed. Available as part of a bundle with Section 1-4 flashcards & spaced repetition timetable for the summer holidays in between Year 12 and Year 13. Please note that I can accept no responsibility for your final exam grade should you choose to use these revision resources. These resources are intended to help students actively revise, but students should be aware that a high proportion of the marks in your exams are AO2 and AO3 marks and students should therefore use a variety of resources and techniques in preparation for all of the question styles that will be encountered in the exam. Whilst these resources have been written with past mark schemes in mind, there is no guarantee that future mark schemes will be the same. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this resource, but I am only human, so if you spot an error, please email teachsecondaryscience@gmail.com and the resource will be updated ASAP.

Covers topics such as: Different types of variable Accuracy / precision / repeatability etc Uncertainty Range / standard deviation Choice of statistical test Choice of graph Basic practical skills such as scientific drawing rules, eye piece graticule calibration etc There is some ambiguity when it comes to mark schemes on questions such as accuracy/precision - with different exam boards sometimes having slightly different answers. I have tried to include the most appropriate answer on the flashcards, but if anyone disagrees with any of the answers - please do leave a review and I will alter the answers accordingly! This download is the same as the Module 1 OCR A-level Biology flashcards.
