A quick fire powerpoint that covers the main areas within a Edexcel 9-1 Biology Paper 1. Feel free to edit.

This resource guides a-level biologists through the nature of osmosis and how solutes influence water potential. Stretch, challenge and lateral thinking questions are embedded throughout. This is a resource been made to be picked up and used by any teacher.

With over 500 questions spanning the KS3 Exploring Science curriculum, this resource is excellent at generating 6, 8 or 10 question quizzes. You can focus this within a particular science or topic or generate a random quiz from all areas. Great for metacognition and interleaving.

These booklets are a great tool for any teacher wanting to revise in class for an assessment or to use as homework. Students are required to RAG their confidence against the specification points to start with in order to highlight their strengths and areas for development. The following pages contain a sumamrised version of the content alongside diagrams and images. Students can use this to hightlight key information and visit the areas they highlighted as a weakness. The is followed by a series of questions that students are required to answer using their sumamry pages. A blank page is proivided for students to make notes on the area of weakness as well as a page whereby they can write down concepts and knowledge that is not sticking. The booklet ends on a selectrion of exam style questions that students can answer and self-assess themselves on. Mark schemes are provided.

Welcome to the KS3 science stretch and challenge activity booklet. I have created this to challenge students knowledge and to develop a deeper, more critical understanding of the world around them. The activities inside will get students looking at content (based around Exploring Science but applicable to most curriculum) from a range of different perspectives, force them to think outside of the box as well as getting them to explore new, more difficult KS3 and GCSE content. Contents include: • Scenarios • Word Scramble • Retrieval Roulette • Scientific Literature • Odd One Out • Key Word Scrabble • Thunks • Six Degrees of Separation • What’s the question? • Science & Engineering Challenges • Be Inquisitive • Guess Who? • Dingbats • Code Breaking • Spot the Mistake • What Happens Next? • A-Z Key Words • Code Breaking • Its Not Rocket Science I use this booklet to stretch and challenge the top 50 KS3 students in a project called ‘Science Academy’ which has been hugely successful in preparing students for KS4 as well as improving their academic achievement in KS3 Science. Enjoy.

This resource guides a-level biologists through how to calibrate an eyepiece with a graticule in order to calculate the size of specimens before leading onto how to calculate the size of a specimen and/or magnification from drawings and photographs. Stretch, challenge and lateral thinking questions are embedded throughout. This is a resource been made to be picked up and used by any teacher. A booklet is included which is worth printing out onto A4 which is goes with the magnification calculation questions.

This resource covers the content for the lesson CB9i - The Nitrogen Cycle. This resource starts with a visually engaging slide with the date, title and two starter questions, an easier question (green) and more abstract question (orange) to stretch and challenge. Learning outcomes are displayed at the start of the PowerPoint and can be seen throughout and referred back to reinforce the learning journey. Key content/words are highlighted in red text throughout. You will find similar green and orange questions scattered throughout the resource to strengthen and develop understanding. The lesson ends on an exam style question to allow students to apply their learning. This resource is aimed to be able to be used by an teacher, specialist, or non-specialist to deliver this portion of the curriculum accurately and effectively.

This resource introduces a-level biologists through the main principles of homeostasis. Stretch, challenge and lateral thinking questions are embedded throughout. This is a resource been made to be picked up and used by any teacher. AQA Biology

This resource is based around a visually engaging yet informational news article and a question in the middle of the page. The titles are as followed: Stopping COVID-19 Upside Down Floating Boats Off With Your Head Around the outside of this article are a range of questions and tasks that students have to answer based on the information. This resource also acts as a template to create your own guided reading based on articles you find.
