This worksheet will help develop pupils’ mathematical skills in GCSE Chemistry, suitable for all exam boards. There are 9 problems to solve, which get progressively harder and show differentiation in the task. Answers are provided additionally for the teacher or for peer assessment, with all working clearly shown. This would make a great assessment sheet, either as a starter activity, plenary, homework activity or revision sheet.

This pack contains two crosswords focusing on the Neuronal Communication topic. The content is primarily targeted at the OCR A Biology specification. The first crossword covers receptors, neurones and action potentials. The second crossword targets the mechanism of synaptic transmission. The crosswords are designed to enable students to become more familiar with key terminology and definitions. Possible use of the crosswords could be as a baseline assessment at the start of the topic or as a plenary or revision activity at the end of teaching the topic. This is also a nice homework task for students to complete and easy to mark! Answers to both crosswords are provided for the teacher.

A worksheet with accompanying answer sheet on the structure and function of synapses. The sheet also includes an extension activity for students on the affect of drugs on synaptic transmission. This sheet is also available as part of a bundle along with worksheets on neurones and the eye, link below: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-bundle-on-the-nervous-system-11597071

A comprehensive yet clear worksheet, aimed at A level biologists and focusing on the use of Chromatography. The worksheet covers the following learning objectives: 1.) To know what chromatography is 2.) To know how to set up the apparatus for chromatography and important precautions 3.) To know how to calculate Rf values 4.) To know some examples of important analytical uses of chromatography The worksheet features both questions and Rf values for the students to calculate and is designed to allow the student to work through it independently. There is a separate answer sheet provided for the teacher too.

This is a very useful and comprehensive resource for students studying A level Biology. A great refresher for the teacher too or someone teaching Biology who may not be so confident when it comes to teaching statistics. The resource is a 22 page booklet which covers all the key aspects of statistics required for Biology at A level. There are worked examples and questions for the students to work through. This booklet has been designed to be fully explanatory so that students can work through it independently. The booklet is fully comprehensive and no other resources are needed; all probability tables are given with the questions. The key topics covered in the booklet are: 1.) Why use statistics on data 2.) Calculating standard deviation and its meaning 3.) The student t-test 4.) The Spearman rank correlation coefficient 5.) The Chi-squared test The booklet should take approximately two 1 hour lessons to complete, dependent on how familiar the students are with statistics. Those studying A level Maths and Geography may be more confident working through the calculations and understanding the outcomes. A separate answer booklet is provided with answers to all questions given.

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 :)
