This booklet has been made to be given to students who are about to sit their biology combined exam 2022.
This booklet includes:
Past paper exam questions from topics 1-9 (from Year 9 to 11)
Current Edexcel released advanced information for the 2022 exam season.
This resource is in Word document so you can edit as you please (or even edit and reuse for future GCSE students)
I noticed there were very limited resources targeted towards lower-level Science GCSE and wanted to make resources that were engaging and fun. Complex information has been broken down while using questioning to stretch many of the students at a variety of levels.
My PowerPoint slides include:
visually appealing graphics that encourage engagement throughout a lesson
‘Do now’ activities with music to encourage fast and easy settling as the pupils arrive to lesson.
Progress steps: By having the student’s track their own progress, it creates ownership of goal achievement. The graphic representation of the students’ progress can be highly motivating. If improvements are not achieved, students can reflect on what changes need to be made to the intervention plan.

Peer and self-assessments (AfL)
Formative assessments (exam-style questioning, linking questions)
Plenary activities.
A-Level KS5 Edexcel
Cell cycle and mitosis
This resource has been made and review upon reflection since teaching groups of KS5 students in terms of questioning, clarifying complex information and breaking it down to higher understanding.
