I am a science teacher in Liverpool and have been head of department and senior leadership. I have put resources on here that I know will be beneficial to both individual teachers and middle managers. I'm aware of the time constraints and the resources are to reduce workload as well as inform.

This resource contains 29 quick quizzes I have compiled for the AS AQA new Biology course. Each quiz has 10 questions of varying difficulty and then the answers. There is a linked excel sheet to record results and instructions as how to link the PowerPoint to the excel sheet (can be used without linking to the excel sheet as a stand alone resource too).
The PowerPoint contains 29 quizzes spanning the whole AS course with questions and answers and an integrated results sheet to record the results from your class and a handy macro will rank them in order depending on their average through the quizzes. From the menu screen you can skip to any quiz and return back to the menu.
Great for starters, plenaries and revision throughout the year.
3 PowerPoints for the price of 2.
Speed Equations
Electricity Equations
Energy Equations
Covers navigatable PowerPoints for starters/plenaries and revision to help pupils learn the equations for the Physics aspects of science GCSE and GCSE Physics. 10 multiple choice question on each equation and answers.
Try before you buy. Some free tasters to show format in my shop.
I have created an assessment analysis tool that can be used for any test up to 20 questions in length. The Excel sheet is primarily designed for science but could be redesigned for other subjects.
A sheet is used to enter the year, title, question type, question marks and question description.
The % at which levels are given can be changed to suit the year, assessment test in question.
All of these will be used to generate a report. The report will have individual information about a students progress in the test. The data generated will be -
Total, %, Residual, Level (9-1), Levels of Progress and Progress label.
Depending on how well students did for individual questions, the report will highlight which areas (where a student achieved 50% or less of the marks available) students need work on to get them to standard.
The test is broken down into the individual science aspects so that staff, pupils and parents can be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of individuals so that areas can be addressed where the standard is below what is expected.
TO SEE WITHOUT PAYING - you can download the instructions. I have attached the instructions for the sheet that shows how the sheet works and examples of the generated Mail Merge report.
This sheet will not only inform staff, pupils and parents but save time for the staff and be an invaluable tool in identifying areas to help pupils reach their targets.
This is an opportunity to just buy the worksheets from the lessons I have posted. They follow the Biology GCSE Specification (4.6.1) and the Oxford Book Chapter 14.
Do NOT buy this if you have bought the bundle as you will already have the worksheets.
I have included the Publisher originals as well as PDF copies so people can amend and differentiate should they wish.
This bundle consists of 7 lessons...
1. Variation
2. Evolution by Natural Selection
3. Selective Breeding
4. Genetic Engineering
5. Cloning
6. Adult Cell Cloning
7. Ethics of Genetic Technologies
This set of 7 lessons that cover 4.6.2 of the new GCSE AQA Biology curriculum. It follows the Oxford book chapter 14 in its chronology.
Each lesson has an interactive PowerPoint, a pupil worksheet(s) linked to the work in the PowerPoint and a linked past paper question with mark scheme. The PowerPoint has a starter that leads on from the previous lessons learning. The student worksheet incorporates the learning in the lesson. (I have included the Publisher originals so the worksheets can be differentiated if necessary). The worksheets can be used to show progress and/or be cut up and stuck in books to avoid unnecessary diagram drawing etc. and use the time for deeper understanding.
Lessons can be bought individually.
This is a bundle of 7 lessons that can be used in part or whole to teach the biology topic of interdependence in animals and plants.
These lessons are not board specific and can be used (dependent on ability) from KS3 and KS4.
Lesson 1 - Interdependence & Biodiversity
Lesson 2 - Sampling Plants (Quadrats)
Lesson 3 - Abundance of Animals (sampling techniques)
Lesson 4 - Competition in Animals
Lesson 5 - Competition & Adaptations in Plants
Lesson 6 - Adaptations in Animals
Lesson 7 - Predator Prey Population Graphs
Each lesson has a interactive PowerPoint that has a starter and comprehensive explanations that will allow for questioning and discussion. There is a pupil worksheet (both in Publisher for editing, and PDF forms). The worksheet mirrors what has been taught in the lesson. There is a question (and a mark scheme) that can be used to consolidate the learning in the lesson or as homework.
The lesson is labeled in the CLF (common lesson format) so pupils are aware of what that section is about.
This bundle consists of 10 lessons...
1. Asexual & Sexual Reproduction
2. Meiosis
3. Best of Both Worlds
4. DNA & the Genome
5. DNA Structure & Protein Synthesis
