Four worksheets covering part of the immune response topic for A-level Biology: Phagocytosis The Cellular Immune Response The Humoral Immune Response Antibodies (includes 2 versions, one which mentions opsonins for OCR and one without for AQA). (Where relevant, a gap-fill style version and a blank version is included). Full answer sheets are included, which could alternatively be used as handouts/revision sheets. My students love completing these visually appealing worksheets, which break topics down into manageable chunks. Useful as a revision exercise or as a quick assessment. All worksheets are black and white to allow students to add colour to the diagrams, a process which is thought to aid the formation of visual memories.

AQA GCSE required practical revision notes/sheets covering all of the Biology Required Practicals (for triple science). Despite being worth 15% of the marks, so many students don’t allocate specific revision time to the required practicals. I designed these sheets for my own students to encourage specific revision of the practicals and have seen a great improvement in practical knowledge and the ability to answer practical-based questions. Each sheet includes an example method and most importantly, exam-style questions and model answers. The model answers for the exam-style questions have been written based on previous mark schemes, but I cannot guarantee that future mark schemes will be exactly the same. The model answers are for guidance only. Students should be encouraged to use these sheets as a starting point and update/annotate them with any further information as needed. Please note that I can accept no responsibility for your final exam grade should you choose to use these revision resources. These resources are intended to help students actively revise, but students should be aware that a high proportion of the marks in your exams are AO2 and AO3 marks and students should therefore use a variety of resources and techniques in preparation for all of the question styles that will be encountered in the exam. Whilst these resources have been written with past mark schemes in mind, there is no guarantee that future mark schemes will be the same. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this resource, but I am only human, so if you spot an error, please email teachsecondaryscience@gmail.com and the resource will be updated ASAP.

Printable revision timetables ideal for GCSE and A-level students. Download contains 4 different colour options, plus one black and white version. For each different colour, there is an option with time slots already completed & a blank version for students to choose their own timings for each session. The two hour slots at the beginning & end of each day are for completing past papers - for any other revision, make sure you have a break after 1 hour of revising. I personally don’t suggest students timetable revision for early in the morning and late in the evening on the same day - choosing one or the other is usually best, depending on when students work best.

Kidney summary worksheets for A-level Biology. What’s included? Structure of the nephron & formation of glomerular filtrate. Selective reabsorption (including co-transport of glucose).

AQA A-level Biology Spaced Repetition Timetable for Year 13 2024-2025 The timetable has 5 repetitions of each topic scheduled (efforts have been made to group together topics that are often linked in synoptic questions at least once). Includes instructions for use and a list of essays that students should try and complete from December onwards (2 essays per month). Please note no mark schemes are included for the essays, the essay list is included to encourage spaced practice of a broad-range of essay titles.

UPDATED with coloured diagrams on answer sheets. Visually appealing worksheets covering the inheritance topic of A-level Biology. Designed with the AQA exam board in mind (incomplete dominance is not relevant to AQA, but has been included to allow teachers of other exam boards to use this resource - codominance and incomplete dominance are not the same thing!). Includes 7 worksheets covering: Multiple alleles Codominant alleles Incomplete dominance Dihybrid crosses Sex linkage Autosomal linkage Dominant and recessive epistasis Due the complexity of this topic, I find these worksheets are useful to introduce each type of inheritance, before moving onto exam-style questions. Also useful as a revision / homework exercise. All worksheets are black and white to allow students to add colour to the diagrams, a process which is thought to aid the formation of visual memories.

Condensed revision notes for Section 1 Biological Molecules of the AQA A-level Biology specification. Blurting is one of the best revison techniques for A-level Biology. Students should write down everything they can remember about a particular topic on a scrap piece of paper. Then use their notes to fill in any missed points. However, blurting is only going to be effective if students are using notes with the correct content & key terms to check the information that they’ve written down from memory. I designed these sheets for my own students to use. They divide the specification into A4 page topics, each of which is the right length to be covered in one ‘blurting’ session. Download includes 9 pages of notes: Monomers & polymers, inorganic ions Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Enzymes Nucleic acids DNA replication ATP Water If you find these notes useful and would like me to upload similar notes for the other AQA topics, please leave a positive review!

UPDATE MAY 2024: This resource has been updated based on more recent mark schemes. Comprehensive revision question and answer tables for section 1 of the AQA AS / A2 Biology specification. Excellent revision resource for self-assessment.

Ideal for first lesson back after lockdown for a bit of revision, or for a ‘fun’ end of term activity. Would work for remote learning. Includes a powerpoint for the quiz, a student answer sheet and a teacher MS with follow up questions to go with each picture. Virtually all pictures and questions are relevant to AQA, OCR and Edexcel.

Clickable powerpoint quiz (10 multiple choice questions of varying difficulty) to quickly assess understanding of the carbohydrates topic of A-level Biology. Press play on the Powerpoint & click on the ‘click to begin button’. The embedded links will automatically take students to a page telling them if their selected answers are correct or incorrect. Where applicable, information is given as to why their answer is incorrect (this is not given for all questions as extra information woudl would give the answer away in some cases).
