Here is a workbook and answers for the whole of 4.1.1 Communicable Diseases, disease prevention and the immune system. This workbook is designed to go alongside my lessons that you can purchase.

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.

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.

Attached is two resources, the first is the marking sticker. The second is a reference handout for students to use to help them when responding to marking and completing the tasks necessary to fill the gaps in their learning. On the marking sticker, then colour code the different learning outcomes when marking their books as either red, amber or green to make it simple for the pupils to see which outcomes they need to focus on and which they are fine with. Or these stickers could be altered by adding an additional column and using WWW and EBI instead. Both are effective methods of providing feedback for pupils. The bottom two boxes allow for tasks to be set and any more generalised feedback to be provided by ticking any relevant boxes. The second attachment is the resources to be used by the pupils in a feedback lesson (DIRT lesson). I print the slides off two to a page, back-to-back with one between two for pupils. This provides them with the tasks necessary to meet the learning objectives and close any gaps in learning. I find these tasks much easier for pupils to use than simply directing them to textbook pages. Some of the pictures and questions taken from other resources and compiled here. Hope these resources help with your marking and feedback, if so please leave a review and feel free to view other resources I have.,

Attached is four resources, the first two are the marking stickers. The topic has been broken down into two different stickers, but you could combine them if needed. The second two are a reference handout for students to use to help them when responding to marking and completing the tasks necessary to fill the gaps in their learning. The final resource is information on specialised cells to be used as reference for one of the DIRT tasks. On the marking sticker, colour code the different learning outcomes when marking their books as either red, amber or green to make it simple for the pupils to see which outcomes they need to focus on and which they are fine with.

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. Hope you like this resource, please leave a review and take a look at some of my other resources. Thanks

B1 Cell Transport and Mitosis Revision Pyramid Activity. Answers are also included to allow for self/peer assessment. Students have to answer as many questions as they can to reach 100 points in a certain time. This is a great activity for revision purposes and allows students to differentiate the level of questioning they answer as different questions are worth different amounts of points with harder questions being worth more.
