OCR A-level Biology Required Practical PAG Revision Sheets

(0)
UPDATE June 3rd 2024: Typo on potometer sheet now corrected. OCR Required practical revision notes/sheets covering the 12 PAGS required for A-level Biology. Please note, not all possible variations for each PAG are included, please see below for exactly which specific practicals are included. Despite being worth 15% of the marks, so many students don’t allocate specific revision time to the required practicals. I designed these sheets for my own students to encourage specific revision of the practicals and have seen a great improvement in practical knowledge and the ability to answer practical-based questions. Each sheet includes key information, an example method (where relevant) and most importantly, exam-style questions and model answers. The model answers for the exam-style questions have been written based on previous mark schemes, but I cannot guarantee that future mark schemes will be exactly the same. The model answers are for guidance only. Students should be encouraged to use these sheets as a starting point and update/annotate with any further information as needed. Includes: PAG 1: microscopy - root tip squash PAG 2: dissection (general practical skills/questions relevant to any dissection) PAG 3: sampling techniques PAG 4: rates of enzyme-controlled reactions (covers general questions on e.g. initial rate of reaction, DOES NOT cover specific enzyme practicals due to there being so many different variations). PAG 5: 3 different practical sheets included (factors affecting membrane permeability, determining glucose concentration & potometers). PAG 6: 2 different sheets included (electrophoresis & using chromatography to investigate plant pigments [paper chromatography method, not TLC]. PAG 7: Microbial techniques, 2 different sheets included (effect of antibiotics on bacterial growth & dilution plating to determine microbial density) PAG 8: Calibration curve to investigate water potential PAG 9: Qualitative tests for biological molecules PAG 10: Data logger & computer modeling (methods not included for this PAG, just key points from previous mark schemes). PAG 11: two sheets included (effect of exercise on heart rate & heart rate changes in Daphnia). PAG 12: research skills (rate of respiration example used - also includes common questions on respirometers).

AQA Required practical revision notes/sheets covering the 12 A-level required practicals (redox indicator & respirometer included for required practical 9) Despite being worth 15% of the marks, so many students don’t allocate specific revision time to the required practicals. I designed these sheets for my own students to encourage specific revision of the practicals and have seen a great improvement in practical knowledge and the ability to answer practical-based questions. Each sheet includes key information, an example method (where relevant) and most importantly, exam-style questions and model answers. The model answers for the exam-style questions have been written based on previous mark schemes, but I cannot guarantee that future mark schemes will be exactly the same. The model answers are for guidance only. Students should be encouraged to use these sheets as a starting point and update/annotate with any further information as needed. Plus, set of 65 flashcards covering practical skills & experimental design. Covers topics such as: Different types of variable Accuracy / precision / repeatability etc Uncertainty Range / standard deviation Choice of statistical test Choice of graph Basic practical skills such as scientific drawing rules, eye piece graticule calibration etc There is some ambiguity when it comes to mark schemes on questions such as accuracy/precision - with different exam boards sometimes having slightly different answers. I have tried to include the most appropriate answer on the flashcards, but if anyone disagrees with any of the answers - please do send me an email at the address below and I will alter the answers accordingly! Please note that I can accept no responsibility for your final exam grade should you choose to use these revision resources. These resources are intended to help students actively revise, but students should be aware that a high proportion of the marks in your exams are AO2 and AO3 marks and students should therefore use a variety of resources and techniques in preparation for all of the question styles that will be encountered in the exam. Whilst these resources have been written with past mark schemes in mind, there is no guarantee that future mark schemes will be the same. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this resource, but I am only human, so if you spot an error, please email teachsecondaryscience@gmail.com and the resource will be updated ASAP.

*Now updated with improved fonts and new-style answer sheet! My students love completing these visually appealing worksheets, which break topics down into manageable chunks. Useful as a revision exercise or as a quick assessment. All worksheets are black and white to allow students to add colour to the diagrams, a process which is thought to aid the formation of visual memories. Download includes fully completed version of each worksheet that can be used as a handout if you’re short of time. Scaffolded versions of each worksheet are included plus blank versions (where appropriate) for more confident students. If you find these worksheets useful I would really appreciate a positive review. Equally, any constructive feedback would be gratefully received and changes can be made accordingly!
