A lesson for the new AQA Biology specification about the effects of pollution and human activity on biodiversity. Videos can be included about biodiversity - probably the trailer for Planet Earth 2.
This lesson compresses the following topics into one lesson with the use of information sheets and a table:
4.7.3.2 Waste Management
4.7.3.3 Land Use
4.7.3.4 Deforestation
Students found this type of activity useful, but needs consolidating at the end with either an exam question of other AfL techniques.
This resource contains 5 domino style games for the AQA Biology required practical paper 1 and 2 and aimed at lower ability.
The different colours indicate the practical they are for and can be used for a starter to a lesson or taken home for revision.
These student friendly handbooks are for the NEW AQA (9-1) Biology GCSE . These follow a similar layout and pattern I have used for the free revision and paid revision mats from my shop.
Samples of these booklets can be found using the following link:
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/sample-new-aqa-science-required-practical-handbook-9-1-11945258
These include a how to guide for each practical, practical information and questions regarding the methods and techniques used in each practical. There is also graph paper included in this booklet. References for the ‘working scientifically’, ‘mathematical skills’ and ‘apparatus and techniques’ requirements for each practical.
Paper 1 booklet:
Microscopy
Microbiology (Biology)
Osmosis
Food Tests
Enzymes
Photosynthesis
Paper 2 booklet:
Reaction Time
Plant Responses (Biology)
Field Investigation (Quadrats)
Field Investigation (Transects)
Decay (Biology)
I have not included exam questions for copyright reasons, so exam questions would make this booklet even better (use exampro for this).
I have also created a bundle that contains all the required practicals for each subject and can be found using the link below.
