Average Rating4.66
(based on 402 reviews)

I have been teaching Biology for 20 years and I have struggled to find concise and engaging resources for teaching Biology, which is why I have set about creating my own. I hope that my resources are enjoyed by your pupils and of course support their learning of such an interesting and great subject.

A Level Biology: Meiosis Activity

(5)
A cut and stick and cloze activity aimed at A level students. The activity is designed so that students can learn and identify the key stages of meiosis and describe what happens in each of the main stages.
