The biological drawing skill is an important one to develop in students and is assessed by a number of exam boards at GCSE, including CIE. The biological drawing question is 10% of the practical/alternative to practical paper and a skill that can be easily mastered with focused practice using this resource package. This package includes: An ‘exemplar for improvement’, for students to review and evaluate weaknesses and strengths of the drawing A mark scheme with the key issues with the ‘exemplar for improvement’ drawing listed to develop students understanding of the key criteria required when producing a biological drawing A model exemplar to show students the drawing with all ammendments made 5 practice biological drawing exam questions with the addition of a marking criteria rubric to guide students with the key elements needed to achieve a biological drawing of a high standard (each question has a exam board mark scheme provided for the teacher)

Knowledge organisers have become increasingly popular with both students and teachers alike. Research shows that students find them a much more effective tool to condense their topic notes, in order to learn the content for assessments. Even better is that the notes are laid out on one page, rather than over several pages in a textbook or revision guide. The knowledge organiser has two versions, a completed version/answer sheet and a worksheet version, which allows pupils to be more active in their learning and complete diagram labelling/sentences/tables etc. The knowledge organiser covers all of the gas exchange topic (topic 11) on the CIE IGCSE course and features the following subtopics: Lung structure and function Gas exchange and the adaptations of the alveoli The process of ventilation The effect of exercise on breathing Make sure you print out on A3 paper Thanks for looking.

The worksheets should take approximately 10-15 minutes each to complete and pupils will be able to work independently through the activities. The worksheets could be collated into a work booklet for students to work through. Topics covered are: 1.) Heart structure and function 2 ) Blood vessels 3.) Composition of blood 4.) Lung structure and function 5.) Kidney structure and function 6.) Respiration 7.) Structure and function of neurones 8.) Reflex arcs and reflex actions Perfect for covering the topics for the first time or for use in revision/assessment.

A visually appealing and clearly laid out A level worksheet covering the structure and function of the parts of a prokaryotic cell. Suitable for GCSE Biology students too.

The pack contains two crosswords, focusing on the structure of enzymes and enzyme activity. The crosswords are designed to help students to become more familiar with key terminology and definitions. This is an area students often struggle with due to confusion between similar terms. Completing the crosswords will help improve students' confidence with the many terms and meanings, associated with this core area of the Biology syllabus. Possible use could be as a plenary to the topic and/or set as a homework task. Answers are provided for both crosswords for the teacher.
