Chapter 11 unit from the OCR Biology A A-Level all about biodiversity. The unit 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. Including: 11.1 Biodiversity 11.2 Types of Sampling 11.3 Sampling Techniques 11.4 Calculating Biodiversity 11.5 Calculating Genetic Biodiversity 11.6 Factors Affecting Biodiversity 11.7 Reasons for Maintaining Biodiversity 11.8 Methods of Maintaining Biodiversity

NEW ROUNDS ADDED FOR 2021! Christmas Quiz for use within Science lessons towards the end of term. There are 21 Quiz rounds to choose from (I usually have the folder open on the board and let one team at a time choose which round we do). There is a combination of science specific rounds, loosely based science rounds and nothing to do with science rounds.
