Previously a Subject Leader and Science SLE with bags of experience with all things KS4 and A level Biology.
I am currently teaching and creating resources for:
OCR A Level Biology,
AQA Trilogy, Synergy and Triple
Edexcel iGCSE coming soon
KS3 ( looking at the AQA 2 year course) including Biomimicry

Whole class activity works brilliantly. Have the class sit in a circle around a football suspended from the celing. Shine a lamp on it and each student draws onto a circular piece of black sugar paper with chalk the shape moon that they can see.
I have been creating podcasts to help students revise the OCR A level Biology content.
I created this work sheet to use alongside the podcast - I usually do all 4 sheets sheets on one double sided A3 sheet.
Students spend 10-15 minutes answering the questions first, listen to the podcast and mark their answers, adding any additional detail that they need in the extra box.
The podcast is about 32 minutes long and this activity would fill an hour for lesson time or homework
More podcasts added regularly. A lot of work has gone into these resources and your feedback is really valued.

Created using the Edexcel International GCSE Biology specification.
This resource contains 1 slide of activities, tailored to the specification.
This is a free sample and other topics have paper 2 distinguished by using light grey boxes and practical and maths skills indicated by icons in the corner.
Top ways to use this resource:
Print off as a booklet and use alongside teaching
Set as homework
Revision lessons for tests and exams
Print off on card to create active recall flashcards
Please note, this does not come with answers as it is meant to be an independent task using notes and revision guides to aid learning.

This resource is 1 A4 page of revision activities for the 5.1.1 OCR homeostasis topic
Top features include:
QR code - takes students to multiple choice quiz from the OCR
checks key terminology
*Checks ability to draw key diagrams
Links to other parts of the spec where appropriate
The activity is designed to check that students have an understanding of the topic and encourages independent working. I advise my students to use notes or a textbook before asking the teacher if they do not know the answer.
Each side takes students roughly an hour to complete. I have used as homeworks, support sessions, revision lessons private study tasks and printed on card and cut to use as revision cards
All other topics available. Please note, answers not yet available but are in the pipeline!!
