This is a fun yet challenging GCSE Biology tarsia for revision of photosynthesis. This can also be used as an assessment for learning tool at the end of the lesson. There are 16 triangles with 18 pairs of questions and answers that make an equilateral triangle. I suggest that the A4 tarsia is printed on card and then the outline is cut out. Students can then quickly cut out the individual triangles. Included are the following topics: organs of a plant, minerals, formulae of chemicals in the photosynthesis symbol equation, limiting factors and chlorophyll. The 'fjsw' file can be opened and modified with tarsia software. The software is free to download but there is not currently a version for Mac computers.

This is a lesson that was taught to year 7 and has KS3 levels 4-6. The learning objectives slide promotes AFL and regular checking of progress in lesson - see my other resources for an explanation. I used a visualiser to demonstrate the flower dissection to the class using Lillies. Feedback to rowan.savage@hotmail.com.

This may be used in conjunction with my other resource on global warming. Pupils here are given 2 different theories and evaluate the evidence for and against.

These are a series of dingbats that I have created as engaging starter activities. They work really well as a short punchy starter that students answer on whiteboards before the 4 minute song finishes that students hear as they walk in (e.g. Bon Jovi, Olly Murs). The words are keywords that are referred back to in lesson. There are dingbats for KS3, KS4 and KS5 on these topics: photosynthesis, respiration, compounds, hydrocarbons and carbonyls (A level). Students could post it note their answers with their names and stick them on the whiteboard next to the image. Please leave feedback.

This is a graded task on the heart and circulatory system in format of a level assessed task used at KS3. There are graded keywords for students to use as well as clear graded objectives taken from the OCR Gateway B3 biology specification (current for 2013/14). The heart diagram can be cut out by students. The two website links are to a heart song and heart musical quiz - both are YouTube hosted. Feedback to my TES inbox please.

This is a lesson plan for an ICT research skills lesson on the history of the cell. 2 timelines are given - one easy and one that is more challenging. Students present their research at the end of the lesson. Alternatively they could present their findings in a second lesson. The presentation skills lesson (see my other resources) could be modified and incorporated into this lesson to structure the presentation. Feedback to my TES inbox please.

This is a worksheet that encourages students to make their own classification for invertebrates with the beginning of a classification tree provided at the bottom of the page.

This is a KS3 crossword on respiration that can be used as a plenary, AFL or revision. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This is an information sheet providing information on the bacteria involved in the nitrogen cycle. See my other resources for an exam tips handout that students can use as guidance.

This is a series of information sheets on the 3 main species of bacteria involved in the nitrogen cycle plus an overview of the cycle itself. Pupils may highlight keywords/ phrases and use this information to create a 6 mark exam question and mark scheme that another pupil answers. 1 mark should be for quality of writing.

Making conclusions - structuring a sentence using P.E.E. The first in a 3 part lesson sequence on making better conclusions. See my other resources.

This is a detailed comprehension task that will push able students. The text on the discovery of insulin was taken from the Nobel Prize website. A brief glossary is provided. There are 4 levelled questions (Level 7 = A*).

PowerPoint for accuracy and reliability. Some slides can be printed off to serve as worksheets.

This is a fun yet challenging High School Biology tarsia for revision of photosynthesis. This can also be used as an assessment for learning tool at the end of the lesson.

A PowerPoint for a lesson on reliability and repeats. Includes engaging demo that uses 8 students. Plenary can use the Dragons Den theme tune. More able will present a good pitch.

This ppt forms the basis of a lesson on respiration - containing data on how temperature affects yeast respiration. The photo can be used as an image prompt to get students thinking about what they need to make break. An older PowerPoint ppt format has been added.

This is a resource for the OCR GCSE Gateway B3 module designed for an additional class up to grades A and without the challenge expected for triple science. There is a student gap fill for all parts of the module (a copy of the spec is attached for reference - pages 52 to 67). Also included is a heart diagram with labels and 20 marks of exam questions based on respiration and parts of the cell (taken from AQA but relevant to the OCR spec). I will add further revision resources in Easter 2014.

The video that accompanies this worksheet has a weblink that is provided at the top of the worksheet. The video lasts for 3 minutes and 38 seconds so it is suggested that either the video is regularly paused or shown twice. Keywords and numbers are provided in a wordbook printed on the sheet. Challenge questions prompt students to analyze the digestion system such as why it should have a large surface area. It is suggested that students peer mark their work and AFL can be through the score they achieved or the number of challenge questions answered correctly. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.
