Revision mat and answers for KS3. Designed for revision for Mock Exam. Topics covered include; Cells, reproduction, respiration, particles and energy.
Can be used as is or sections could be copied and pasted if you only need one part.
Digestive System Interactive Notebook is an alternative method to simply labeling the digestive system in lesson. Suitable for KS3 and KS4.I have often found students often struggle to retain knowledge from simply sticking a diagram in their book and labeling it, so I created this as a more hands on approach to the human digestive system.
There are 2 versions of the sheet for differentiation; one unlabeled, the other with the organs already labeled.
The sheet is printed off and folded along the vertical fold line. The student then cuts along each of the horizontal lines to the fold line. They can then glue the sheet into their books and now have a flap based digestive system. The students then label the parts, find information on the organs and write this information under each of the relevant flaps. The final part is to colour in the different organs.

I created this worksheet as a support sheet for students struggling with drawing Punnett squares in the genetics topic. This worksheet is best printed off on A3 and works to walk students through the steps involved in determining the alleles of the parents and creating a Punnett square to determine the probability of certain outcomes.
The layout is in a style that allows students to easily follow the process. Have used a similiar format in the past on calculation style questions in physics and drawing ionic bonds in chemistry and students loved it!
I have also included the answer sheet to go with it.
This is the a complete excel workbook with all learning objectives for the OCR A Level Biology A Specification. Each topic has its own tab, the first spreadsheet hyperlinks to each topic as needed (and hyperlink back to table of contents (TOC) and the layout has been set ready for printing, with some topics that take up two pages having the headings ready to go on both.
