Visually appealing worksheets/place mats for GCSE Biology students on the structure of the heart. Perfect for use when teaching the topic 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 to complete and pupils will be able to work independently through the activities. There is a differentiated heart structure worksheet for students who may benefit from extra support. There is also an answer sheet for the teacher, which is great for non-specialists teaching Biology in schools. As a suggestion the place mat 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 place mat could be laminated after completion by pupils and used for display purposes in the classroom or for revision.

This is an all inclusive worksheet pack on the well-known osmosis and potato chip investigation. In reality this practical does not always generate the expected results due to sources of error and time constraints to set up, hence why I have put this investigation pack together. All answers are provided for the teacher. The pack contains the following: Worksheet 1 introduces the set up of the investigation and pupils need to come up with a hypothesis. Pupils are given results and are asked to calculate change in mass and percentage change in mass. Three versions of the graph paper are provided, each with a different level of support, as many pupils will find drawing the graph with a negative y axis challenging. Worksheet 3 focuses on identifying the different variables and drawing a conclusion from the results. Worksheet 4 focuses on sources of error and how to improve the practical to reduce these, so focuses more on developing pupils’ evaluative skills. There are also extension questions on osmosis and its effect on cells, for those students who may work quicker through the activity.

A graph-labelling activity aimed at A level Biology students. This worksheet is designed to help students to get to grips with the action potential graph, its key stages and what causes the changes in charge across the neurone membrane in terms of ion movement. An answer sheet is provided with full detail too.

This is a complete lesson focusing on the introduction of the microscope and its correct use. The lesson pack includes a PowerPoint to guide the lesson, a detailed lesson plan and a worksheet, accompanied with answers. The lesson is designed to be approximately an hour long and can be used with either KS3 or KS4 students being introduced to the topic of cell biology and the use of the microscope in Biology. The lesson is designed to be fully comprehensive and also well designed to engage students with a variety of activities, both teacher and student let. This lesson is the first in a scheme of work on Cell Biology (to follow soon)

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. The recap test should take approximately 10-15 minutes with peer marking and collection of marks by the teacher and makes a great starter activity for the consecutive lesson. Key features of the PowerPoint and worksheets: Visually engaging for students Clearly laid out for students Encourages pupils to work independently, with clear instructions given Comprehensive corresponding answer sheets for the teacher Helpful for lesson preparation for non-specialist science teachers Familiarisation of students with key words, their correct spelling and definitions

This resource features three multiple-choice packs, each containing 20 questions. This pack covers Topic 19 of the IGCSE CIE course and the three subtopics are: Energy flow, food chains and food webs Nutrient cycles Population size These packs can be used in a number of ways: Use as a homework task for consolidation or assessment of prior knowledge of a topic Multiple-choice challenge, where students either individually or in teams compete against one another to get the most correct answers (15 minutes is a good time allowance to give) As an assessment (15-20 minutes) For revision of a topic before an exam Answers are provided (can be projected to go through the correct answers and allow pupils to self or peer mark), and also an answer grid for students to complete if you would rather reuse the question papers, rather than the students writing on them.

The biological drawing skill is an important one to develop in students and is assessed by a number of exam boards at GCSE, including CIE. The biological drawing question is 10% of the practical/alternative to practical paper and a skill that can be easily mastered with focused practice using this resource package. This package includes: An ‘exemplar for improvement’, for students to review and evaluate weaknesses and strengths of the drawing A mark scheme with the key issues with the ‘exemplar for improvement’ drawing listed to develop students understanding of the key criteria required when producing a biological drawing A model exemplar to show students the drawing with all ammendments made 5 practice biological drawing exam questions with the addition of a marking criteria rubric to guide students with the key elements needed to achieve a biological drawing of a high standard (each question has a exam board mark scheme provided for the teacher)

This pack contains two crosswords, focusing on cell biology and biochemistry. The crosswords are designed to help students to become more familiar with key terminology and definitions. This is an area students often struggle with due to confusion between similar terms. Completing the crosswords will help improve students' confidence with the many terms and meanings, associated with this area of the GCSE Biology syllabus. Possible use could be as a plenary to the topic and/or set as a homework task. Answers are provided for both crosswords for the teacher.

A pack of three pupil-led activities designed to engage learners in the classroom whilst studying the respiratory system topic. Activity 1 - Card sort on breathing and lung structure. You could either print this on paper and then cut/guillotine so that pupils could then order them in the correct sequence and glue into their classbook. Or alternatively print onto card or laminate if on paper to create a resource that can be used again and again. Activity 2 - Card sort on the mechanism of breathing. There is a differentiated version of this activity with the higher tier version featuring the internal and external intercostal muscles. Activity 3 - Loop game on the topic of the respiratory system and respiration. There is a differentiated version of this activity with the higher tier version featuring the internal and external intercostal muscles. The idea of this activity is that the pupils have to pay close attention to the question being read out as they may have the correct answer to the question. Pupils seem to really enjoy this activity and it not only helps their learning but is fun too. Either print on card or laminate if on paper to make a reusable resource for the classroom. These activities would be useful as a plenary at the end of the topic or as part of a revision lesson. Activities such as these are praised in observed lessons as the activity is pupil-led rather than teacher-led; great for when being inspected :)
