Based on my +15 years as a science educator and extensive past paper analysis, these flashcards have been created to help students learn the key marking points for A-level Biology.
Concise, mapped to the specification and based on past mark schemes.
Print & assemble and then use to teach yourself the correct marking points.

AQA GCSE required practical revision notes/sheets covering all of the required practicals for Paper 2 for Triple Science (higher tier), Biology, Chemistry & Physics.
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 an example method and (where relevant) 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 them with any further information as needed.
*Now updated with improved fonts and new-style answer sheet!
These worksheets are part of the AQA Section 5 A-level Biology Worksheet Bundle.
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.

Includes 5 worksheets covering:
structure of mitochondria / sites of aerobic respiration
glycolysis
the link reaction & Krebs cycle
oxidative phosphorylation
anaerobic respiration (lactate fermentation and alcoholic fermentation).
For most worksheets, differentiated versions are included:

a scaffolded version, with ‘fill in the gap’ structure.
Completed versions are included (for oxidative phosphorylation, answers for both permutations of total ATP produced are included, in order to cover all exam boards i.e. 32 / 38 total ATP). These could be used as handouts if you are short of time.

UPDATED with coloured diagrams on answer sheets.
Visually appealing worksheets covering the inheritance topic of A-level Biology. Designed with the AQA exam board in mind (incomplete dominance is not relevant to AQA, but has been included to allow teachers of other exam boards to use this resource - codominance and incomplete dominance are not the same thing!).
Includes 7 worksheets covering:
Multiple alleles
Codominant alleles
Incomplete dominance
Dihybrid crosses
Sex linkage
Autosomal linkage
Dominant and recessive epistasis
Due the complexity of this topic, I find these worksheets are useful to introduce each type of inheritance, before moving onto exam-style questions.
Also useful as a revision / homework exercise.
