It covers every important point on the current CIE Biology GCSE specification (2023-2025)
Supplement bits are differentiated.
My students use them for their officials. A printable version and editable version are included.
I use this resource to teach the basics for paper 5 for 9700 Biology A Level. I teach this over 3 full hour lessons or a bit more. It includes:
Lesson 1 (slides 1-10): students learn how to plan an investigation.
Lesson 2 (slides 11-24): students learn about independent, dependent and controlled variables, describing the steps in an investigation, assessing risks and start the basic math skills for evaluating data by using statistics to include mean, range, interval…
Lesson 3 (slides 25-end): more statistics to include standard deviation, standard error and confidence intervals, error bars, t-test and tips to best evaluate their evidence and state a relevant conclusion.
The slides include some activities so that students can practice these skills.
I hope you find it useful.
