AQA Required practical revision notes/sheets covering the 12 A-level required practicals (redox indicator & respirometer included for required practical 9) 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. Plus, set of 65 flashcards covering practical skills & experimental design. 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 send me an email at the address below and I will alter the answers accordingly! 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.

Visually appealing resources perfect for anyone teaching the Cells and Organisation topic for KS3. Ideal for new teachers or non-specialist teachers as full answers are included.

Over 635 revision questions covering the AQA Triple and Combined Sciences Biology specification. Concise Includes diagrams Mapped to the specification Model answers based on extensive past paper analysis Clear question & answer format to encourage active learning Includes 6-mark exam-style required practical method questions, where relevant Columns to mark each individual question as red, amber or green based on current understanding. Triple only / higher tier only content is NOT on a grey background to distinguish it, all questions and answers are on a white background to allow students to highlight/add colour should they wish. Designed to promote spaced repetition of topics throughout the GCSE teaching. Rather than revision notes, which encourage passive learning (because most students just read through them or copy them out), these questions and answers are designed to encourage active learning. HT tier/Triple only content is marked. Topics included in download: Cell biology Organisation Infection and response Bioenergetics Homeostasis Inheritance Ecology Download also includes required practical revision sheets. There is some overlap in the information in the required practical revision sheets and the Q&As.

Photosynthesis is a key A-level Biology, which many students find tricky to get to grips with. Help your students consolidate their knowledge with these three resources. What is included? Photosynthesis consolidation / understanding check questions. Designed for the AQA specification, but relevant to other exam boards. 3 pages / 28 questions (plus 3 synoptic questions). Full answers included. Useful for homework / cover work / revision prior to end of topic assessment. Photosynthesis Consolidation Task Stations: 6 task stations designed as a consolidation/revision lesson for A-level Biology Photosynthesis (with an optional 7th task for AQA) Task 1: Sort (fill in the gaps and then order the steps of the light-dependent reaction). Task 2: Describe (6 mark question on the light-independent reaction) Task 3: State (10 x 1 mark ‘state’ the answer questions) Task 4: Investigate (4 part question on the DCPIP practical) Task 5: Calculate (percentage change & ratios) Task 6: Synoptic (4 part task linking photosynthesis, protein structure & enzymes) Optional Task 7: Essay (choose 1 essay from a choice of 3 and write a suitable paragraph on photosynthesis that could be included in the chosen essay). What does this resource include? PDF containing all 7 tasks full mark scheme for tasks 1-6 (please note there is no mark scheme included for the essay task) student answer sheets Photosynthesis Summary Worksheets 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. Includes 4 worksheets covering: structure/function of chloroplasts light dependent reaction light independent reaction * limiting factors of photosynthesis 2 different light independent reaction worksheets are included - one with ‘TP’ for AQA/OCR, and the other with ‘GALP’, for those teaching the Edexcel specification. For each worksheet, differentiated versions are included: a version containing just the diagram, for more confident students to annotate themselves. a scaffolded version, with ‘fill in the gap’ structure. Completed versions of all worksheets are included.
