This is a fully-resourced REVISION resource that consists of an engaging PowerPoint (127 slides) and associated worksheets that challenge the students on their knowledge of topic 7 (Genetics, populations, evolution and ecosystems) of the AQA A-level Biology specification.
A wide range of activities have been written into this resource to maintain motivation and these tasks include exam questions (with answers), understanding checks, differentiated tasks and quiz competitions.
The lesson has been designed to cover as much of the content as possible, but the following sub-topics have been given particular attention:
- Genetic terminology
- Using genetic diagrams to calculate phenotypic ratios and percentages for the inheritance of a single gene
- Applying the Hardy-Weinberg principle
- Sex-linkage
- Codominance, multiple alleles and interpreting genetic trees
- Types of variation
- Ecological terminology
- Dihybrid inheritance
- Using the chi-squared test to determine significance
- Epistasis
- Succession
- Sampling to estimate populations and consider distribution
The mathematic elements of this topic and specification are challenged throughout the resource and useful hints given to enable the students to pick up vital marks from questions on this topic.
Due to the size of this resource, teachers may choose to use it over the course of a number of lessons and it is suitable for use at the end of topic 7, in the lead up to the mocks or in the lead up to the actual A-level exams.

AQA A2 Biology REVISION LESSONS
This bundle of 4 revision lessons covers the content in topics 5 - 8 of the AQA A-level Biology specification that are commonly taught during year 13 (A2) of the two-year course. Each of the lessons has been designed to include a range of exam questions, differentiated tasks and quiz competitions that will motivate the students whilst they evaluate their understanding of the different sub-topics. Helpful hints are given throughout the lesson to aid the students in structuring their answers and the mathematical elements of the course are constantly challenged as well. The 4 topics covered by this bundle are: Topic 5: Energy transfers in and between organisms Topic 6: Organisms respond to changes in their environment Topic 7: Genetics, populations, evolution and ecosystems Topic 8: The control of gene expression
