A series of 21 (one for each weekday in October) black scientists from across different fields for use/display within science lessons this Black History Month (October in the UK).

Collection of QR codes for students to scan to take them to relevant wider reading / watching about modules 3 and 4 of the OCR biology A A Level. Includes links for: Chapter 7- Exchange surfaces and breathing Chapter 8- Transport in animals Chapter 9- Transport in plants Chapter 10- Classification and evolution Chapter 11- Biodiversity Chapter 12- Communicable diseases

A worksheet for students to do whilst watching the Our Planet documentary One Planet episode (season 1, episode 1). The episode is currently available on Netflix and YouTube. Answers are included.

Revision activity for the new Edexcel combined science CB6 topic. The idea of the activity is that they need to get all the questions answered on their sheet working cooperatively with the rest of class, with each person only being able to contribute one answer to each worksheet. I also allowed them to ask me to answer one question but could also be done independently amongst the students.

Collection of QR codes for students to scan to take them to relevant wider reading / watching about module 2 of the OCR biology A A Level. Includes links for: Chapter 2- Basic components of living systems Chapter 3- Biological molecules Chapter 4- Enzymes Chapter 5- Plasma membranes Chapter 6- Cell division

20 question multiple choice quiz all about the SB6 topic (plant structures and their functions) from the Edexcel biology GCSE.

Quick revision activity for Edexcel B3 (old spec). I give each student a card which has a question and an answer on it and they need to arrange themselves to match up the correct questions and answers. The start card only has a question and the end card only has an answer (depending on how many in the class they could be placed on either side of the room).

Quick revision task relating to the uses (both naturally within plants, and commercially) of the plant hormones ethene, auxin and gibberellins. Answers included on the second slide. (Was planned for use with the edexcel SB6 topic from the biology GCSE)

Revision activity for the Edexcel combined science GCSE CB8 topic and biology GCSE SB8 topic. The idea is that in pairs/groups, students roll two dice to determine which questions to answer and fill them in on the sheet.

Worksheet for use when revising Edexcel CB6 topic all about plants. Students answer the questions either using their own knowledge, a partner or the text book and then indicate on the sheet which they used. Answers are included on the second page.

12.1 lesson from the OCR Biology A A Level all about animal and plant pathogens. *The lesson was planned with the intention of carrying out flipped learning whereby students do pre-reading on the topic prior to the lesson so that we can consolidate that learning with activities/exam questions during the lesson. *

Revision activity for the Edexcel biology GCSE SB5 topic (health and disease). The idea is that in pairs/groups, students roll two dice to determine which questions to answer and fill them in on the sheet.

Revision worksheet for the Edexcel GCSE Biology SB5 topic (health and disease). The worksheet just covers the triple only content. The idea is that students spend 5 minutes on each segment of the worksheet and make their way around the clock. The page numbers referenced are the Edexcel biology text books .

Practical skills lesson (variables, drawing tables, graphs, etc) based around measuring transpiration using a potometer. Was planned to go alongside OCR Biology A- 9.3 transpiration.

9.1 lesson from the OCR Biology A A Level all about transport systems in dicotyledonous plants. *The lesson was planned with the intention of carrying out flipped learning whereby students do pre-reading on the topic prior to the lesson so that we can consolidate that learning with activities/exam questions during the lesson. *

Worksheet to aid with using the equation for magnification.

19.1 lesson from the OCR Biology A A Level all about mutations and variation. *The lesson was planned with the intention of carrying out flipped learning whereby students do pre-reading on the topic prior to the lesson so that we can consolidate that learning with activities/exam questions during the lesson. *

22.1 lesson from the OCR Biology A A Level all about natural cloning in plants. *The lesson was planned with the intention of carrying out flipped learning whereby students do pre-reading on the topic prior to the lesson so that we can consolidate that learning with activities/exam questions during the lesson. *

15 question multiple choice quiz all about protein synthesis.

8.1 lesson from the OCR Biology A A Level all about transport systems in multicellular animals. *The lesson was planned with the intention of carrying out flipped learning whereby students do pre-reading on the topic prior to the lesson so that we can consolidate that learning with activities/exam questions during the lesson. *
