Variation
Contained is a powerpoint to aid the worksheet, which will help students develop an understanding of variation, suitable for KS3 and Lower set KS4
Balancing Equations
Both Powerpoint and Worksheets for Balancing equations, following the Edexcel specification.
Benedicts test lesson
Resource that covers benedicts non-reducing sugars test
Covers AS level Biology specification
Suitable for OCR PAG A-level Biology
Enzyme inhibitors lesson
Complete lesson made during PGCE last year for A-level.
Includes various worksheets and questions for pupils to complete.
Biological molecules - carbohydrates
Exam past paper questions on carbohydrates with mark scheme
suitable for AQA/OCR A-level
Natural selection
Natural selection card game - pupils play a board game to see which of them can survive!
Instructions are on the game edit worksheet
Cloning
Pupils fill in the cloning comparison table, can use with textbooks, internet etc.
Cell division
Two different worksheets that can be used when teaching cell division, the first is a summary sheet which pupils complete and the second is an independent learning sheet with questions that pupils answer. Can use one or both of the resources.
Suitable for KS4 and KS5
Alkanes worksheet
Pupils complete the worksheet table, where they have to give the molecular formula, number of carbons, number of hydrogens and draw the structural formula of alkanes.
Can help pupils by having more or less pre-filled information.
Suitable for KS3/KS4
Fossils practical
Practical booklet for pupils to guide them through creating their own fossils using plaster of paris, and also covers fossil excavation.
Proteins
Practical booklet which pupils complete - covers biuret test in a different and fun context, where pupils have to find out which sample is the 'real' blood sample (contains the globular protein - hemoglobin).
Suitable for all years and can be adapted very easily via end page (questions are pre-set for AS/A level Biology students but can be changed easily to differentiate for classes you may teach).
Requisition practical equipment (test tubes, blood looking samples e.g. tomato paste, ketchup, paint, order real animal blood etc).
Has embedded peer-assessment, where pupils can comment on how each pupil wrote their report, focusing on particular sections for areas of improvement e.g. for KS3, may not have included all materials and methods.
Enzymes
Suitable for GCSE and AS/A level Biology
Pupils use the sheet (print in A3) to fill in and summarize understanding of enzymes, covers:
Enzyme function
Mechanism by which enzymes carry out their function
Factors affecting rate of enzymatic reactions.
Cell cycle
Suitable for AS/A-level Biology
Pupils fill in the group activity using relevant resources e.g. books, the internet etc.
They can only use pictures in the boxes, they then have to convert the pictures to written information (cell cycle phases fill in table).
Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells
Instructions:
Pupils label features of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, can split the class in half and use A3-sized diagrams, first team to label the components wins.
Pupils then use the Venn diagram template to label the features, can also enhance this by reviews comparing the features of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells e.g.
The origin of eukaryotes:
a reappraisal - (Duve, 2007)
Suitable for AS/A-level Biology
Transcription and translation
Suitable for AS/A-level Biology
Includes
Protein factory sheets and protein factory workbook
Using the sheets in groups (e.g. one of each per table) pupils have to work through the sheets by indicating the correct choice and answer questions on transcription and translation (see workbook).
Covers:
Transcription
Translation
DNA replication
Degeneracy of genetic code
Codon-anticodon pairing
The workbook provided is differentiated and scaffolded for pupils via questions having success criteria and also super-challenge questions as well.
Correct answers are on the worksheets, however, ensure that you explain clearly to students that they need to work through it systematically.
Create a DNA template
Suitable for AS/A-level Biology, pupils work in groups and have to cut and stick to create the double helix model of DNA (see slide 5 for WAGOLL).
For each feature (see slide 4), there are points associated with the relevant features being included. This can be used to turn it into a competition between teams/introduce a competitive element.
Covers:
DNA structure
DNA base pairing
Bonding
Cell components
Resource sheets with information on different cell components and booklet style format.
Suitable for AS/A-level Biology
Drugs PSHE
Various activities for teaching drugs in PSHE.
1. Starter > True/false
2. Addiction perspective worksheet > Pupils complete worksheet and have a class discussion about addiction and the impact/consequences of drug use
3. Drugs fill in table > Fill in table with information on different drugs (information sheets attached as PPT - print in A3).
Vaccines true/false quiz
Quick quiz covering vaccination, good as a starter to recap previously covered content.
Vaccination questions
Covers AQA Biology B1, new specification.
Various questions on vaccination with the mark scheme.
