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.

The pack includes:-
1.) Structure of the Heart
2.) Structure of the Lungs

Each diagram has a copy to label and a labelled copy to display.
This is a huge bundle of resources covering many of the topics studied in Year 1/ AS year of the OCR A Biology course.
Due to the similarities with other A level specifications this bundle would be well suited to other exam boards too.
Topics covered include:
1.) The heart and circulation
2.) The cardiac cycle
3.Chromatography
3.) Nucleic acids
4.) Protein synthesis
5.) Mitosis and meiosis
6.) Cell structure

A visually appealing set of two worksheets/placemats for GCSE students on firstly, respiration in animals, covering both aerobic and anaerobic respiration and secondly, fermentation in yeast.
Perfect for use when both teaching the topic area and also for revision. Each worksheet should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.
The worksheets will help students learn the equations for respiration, it’s role in living things and also familiarise themselves with key words related to the topic.
As a suggestion the resource could be laminated and completed by students using OHP pens and then cleaned off for future use with other pupils.
These sheets could even be used as a short progress test with students too.
An answer sheet is included for both worksheets for teachers.
Visually appealing worksheet bundle for GCSE Biology students on the structure of the heart and lungs. Perfect for use when teaching the topics and also for revision purposes. The worksheets could even be used as a progress test on these topic areas. The worksheets should take approximately 10-15 minutes each to complete and pupils will be able to work independently through the activities.
There is a differentiated heart and lung structure worksheet for students who may benefit from extra support.
There is also answer sheets for the teacher, which is great for non-specialists teaching Biology in schools.
As a suggestion the worksheet could be laminated and pupils could complete the activities with OHP pens. The laminated sheets could then be cleaned for future use with other pupils. Otherwise the worksheet could be laminated after completion by pupils and used for display purposes in the classroom or for revision.
The first of three resource packs covering the Transport in Animals topic.
This resource pack contains a comprehensive 20 slide presentation with four worksheets to be completed by students as the presentation is worked through.
The presentation and worksheets cover the following subtopics:
1.) The need for a circulatory system
2.) Different types of circulatory system (including advantages and disadvantages of the different types)
3.) Structure and function of blood vessels with corresponding worksheet (1)
4.) Structure of blood vessels related to their function with corresponding worksheet (2)
5.) Exchange at capillaries with corresponding worksheet (3) - there is a support version provided too with the words given for students to complete the cloze activity if needed
6.) Formation of tissue fluid with corresponding worksheet (4) also includes mathematical calculations for the students on pressure
7.) Comparison of blood plasma, tissue fluid and lymph
Answers are given in the presentation to worksheets 1 and 2 and answers sheets are provided for worksheets 3 and 4.
The notes given with the presentation (seen under the slide when not in presentation mode) explain which worksheet should be used with which slide/s.
This resource pack should take approximately 2 hours to work through.
Although designed for OCR A students, the content is extremely similar for all A Level Biology specifications.
Resource packs 2 and 3 to follow shortly - these will cover the heart structure, cardiac cycle, coordination of the cardiac cycle and transport of carbon dioxide and oxygen.
This bundle includes ten visual worksheets for students to complete on some of the core biological principles studied at GCSE.
The worksheets cover:

This Biology GCSE complete lesson resource pack covers the topic of Lung Structure (the respiratory system).
This pack includes a PowerPoint on lung structure (the respiratory system), with an associated worksheet (supported version included) to complete for students’ notes and homework task set on the lesson which can easily be assessed and involves no teacher marking.
The PowerPoint has slides for both the supported version and the non-supported version (you can hide the slides not needed depending on the ability of your students). This lesson should take approximately 25 minutes.
There is also a follow up PowerPoint and recap test sheet (A5, two copies per page and can be easily guillotined) for easy assessment of pupils on this topic. Marking can easily be done via peer marking, saving you time.

A great bundle of resources for teaching the heart and circulation at A Level.
The bundle includes a PowerPoint and worksheets that focus on the need for a circulatory system and the stucture and function of the blood vessels. It also includes worksheets on the structure of the heart and the cardiac cycle.
Answer sheets are provided to all the worksheets included.
A poster pack covering the external and internal structure of the heart. Ideal for A level Biology students.
The posters are great for display around the classroom or to give to the students for revision.
All posters have been provided in a choice of black and white or colour. The black and white copies could be coloured in by students to aid memory of the heart structure.
Both posters have been provided in an A3 and A4 format to allow for printing in either size.
Knowledge organisers have become increasingly popular with both students and teachers alike. Research shows that students find them a much more effective tool to condense their topic notes, in order to learn the content for assessments. Even better is that the notes are laid out on one page, rather than over several pages in a textbook or revision guide.
The knowledge organiser has two versions, a completed version/answer sheet and a worksheet version, which allows pupils to be more active in their learning and complete diagram labelling/sentences/tables etc.
The knowledge organiser covers all of the gas exchange topic (topic 11) on the CIE IGCSE course and features the following subtopics:
Lung structure and function
Gas exchange and the adaptations of the alveoli
The process of ventilation
The effect of exercise on breathing
Make sure you print out on A3 paper
