A small part of the specification requires students to be aware of the role of new technologies in corrective eye surgery.
I created a comprehension task for my high ability year 11 students, it requires students to read a scientific article and answer a series of questions. This is an excellent stretch and challenge activity that exposes students to advanced scientific terms as well as new science. It can easily be set as a homework task. Answers can be found in the article.
I was very pleased with the outcome of this activity, I loved that it opened a huge discussion in my class, please share your thoughts on this resource once you’ve had a go with your own students :)

Unit 2-Practical scientific procedures and techniques
Learning aim D: Review personal development of scientific skills for laboratory work.
How did i teach this?
This assignment allows students to review the skills they attained in this unit. It also reiterates the importance of H&S as well as professional practice. Before setting the assignment i first taught three lessons covering the content in Pearson BTEC national-Applied science-Student book 1.
Due to the complexity of this assignment i provided my students with a template which covered the P/M/D criteria (please see attached). This prevented students from going off on a tangent and also ensured they had mentioned the key skills for both assignment B and C. I’ve also attached a specification and the assignment brief to tie it altogether nicely. Hope it helps you with marking also!
C2-The periodic table-Group 7-halide displacement lesson created in accordance to the NEW AQA Specification (9-1). Designed for a mixed ability year 9 class, although content can be adjusted to suit any ability.

AQA spec link: 4.1.2.6
Updated 13/7/20-This resource has been updated since the last review and now includes more questions as well as a separate MS
I’ve uploaded a set of past paper questions for the Hormones and menstrual cycle topic (B11.6). I’ve also included the mark scheme, which has been edited so.
Setting time for past paper questions every few lessons are an excellent AFL technique, can be used as a review task that students can self/peer assess. This is a complimentary resource, if you wish to purchase i have also designed a lesson for this topic simply search ’ AQA new specification-Hormones and the menstrual cycle-B11.6’
Sometimes our higher ability pupils slip through the net because we are focusing our efforts on helping our students who on the verge, to succeed. I have done a lot of extra work this year to really challenge my most able students, funnily enough this has created a drive within the laziest pupils in my class.
The resource i’ve attached is a review paper on Polydactyly, I shared this with my whole class even though It was to target my most highest achievers and encouraged them to all read the article as homework.
Scientific reviews/articles expose students to scientific knowledge that goes above and beyond the requirements of the specification, it helps students develop an interest and love for science which then leads to better interaction in lessons.

This resource can be used with both combined and separate classes.
This task requires access to computing/mobile devices. Can be set as homework.

Students are required to know the following;
Ordinary human body cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes. 22 pairs control characteristics only, but one of the pairs carries the genes that determine sex. • In females the sex chromosomes are the same (XX). • In males the chromosomes are different (XY). Students should be able to carry out a genetic cross to show sex inheritance. Students should understand and use direct proportion and simple ratios in genetic crosses.

Relevant chapter: B1 Cell structure and transport. AQA Biology third edition textbook-Page 4-5
Specification requires students to know the following;
Students should be able to: • understand how microscopy techniques have developed over time • explain how electron microscopy has increased understanding of sub-cellular structures. Limited to the differences in magnification and resolution. An electron microscope has much higher magnification and resolving power than a light microscope. This means that it can be used to study cells in much finer detail. This has enabled biologists to see and understand many more sub-cellular structures.
WS 1.1
Students should be able to carry out calculations involving magnification, real size and image size using the formula: magnification = size of image size of real object Students should be able to express answers in standard form if appropriate.
MS 1a, 1b, 2h, 3b WS 4.4 Use prefixes centi, milli, micro and nano.
