I sell resources to help you save time. As teachers we want to spend as much time making the lessons we spend with students as inspiring as possible. Therefore less time planning and marking, more time doing!

THESE WILL NEED EDITING AS I HAVE USED THESE FOR A CLASS.
A set of 26 references, identifying students skills. Easy to adapt to your class, and highlight where you will need to add in names or change he/she.
A set of questions with examples of eyepiece graticules and stage micrometers so students can practice calculating.
Scaffolded questions: with a long example, long practice and then short. Then goes into students working out themselves. Differentiated low to high.
UPDATED: Now includes mark scheme and instructions on how to make your own questions with pictures to put on sheet or power point etc.

They are not formatted with any particular design so that you can copy and paste them into your school’s powerpoint layouts.
This is a part of a series of lessons I am making, based on the idea that when you download resources from TES you often have to reformat to your school’s own powerpoint layouts. This can be very time consuming as often the layout significantly changes. These are made on the basic layout of ppts so that there is minimal disruption to the layout.
They are not designed to present straight to students but a much cheaper alternative - they are for you to make your own.

This document contains 90 multiple choice questions (AND ANSWERS) from the AQA Biology GCSE Ecology. The second part of this topic, Human Impact is in a different resource.
I’ve put together a series of multiple-choice question worksheets designed specifically for secondary school science teachers. These worksheets serve a variety of purposes and are particularly useful for;
low-stakes assessments
Assessment for Learning (AfL)
recall of key concepts - strengthens memory recall and reinforces learning
allow teachers to gauge student understanding effectively
immediate feedback
Each worksheet includes a range of carefully crafted questions covering various topics within the science curriculum. I’ve ensured that each question aligns closely with the learning objectives and standards, providing a comprehensive review of the material.
Furthermore, to streamline the assessment process for teachers, I’ve included the answer key with each worksheet. This allows teachers to quickly and easily grade the worksheets, saving time and effort.
A comprehensive list of all the topics covered in the AQA A-Level Biology exams for 2022.

Print this revision sheets off on A3 and ask students to answer the questions. You could print off required practical sheets from AQA website to support this.
28% off ! Fed up of writing the same comments over and over again? With the marking form you know longer have to. This marking form has been specifically designed to match comments and improvements to 6 topics in KS3. Simply type in students names, select the comments and improvements which suit the students work/test. Then all you have to do is print and get students to stick in their books and write their improvements (Boost/ebi/self assessment). It is so quick and easy it will at least half your marking time and provide students for quality feedback which is easy to read and easy to respond to.
This revision session has several knowledge and application tasks for an approx. 1 hour lesson. Students can complete each task together or on their own, mark their own work and make improvements. It is linked to the AQA 2016 Science GCSE and does not require you to print out any resources (unless you want to). All on the ppt slide!
