This open ended assessment task is designed for use towards the end of a unit on Industry in KS3 geography. However it may also be suitable for KS4 geography classes, either as an assessment of prior learning or an AfL task toward the end of a unit. Pupils are asked to identify industry sector and consider human and physical factors influencing location as well as possible problems and solutions for the chosen industry. A 'progression' ladder based on Bloom's taxonomy is included to assist both pupils and teachers with assessing the task. This resource can be used prior to taking the End of Unit Test for Industry.

This open ended assessment task is designed for use towards the end of a unit on Economic Development in KS3 geography. However it may also be suitable for KS4 geography classes, either as an assessment of prior learning or an AfL task toward the end of a unit. Pupils are asked to demonstrate their knowledge of the demographic transition model and development indicators. A 'progression' ladder based on Bloom's taxonomy is included to assist both pupils and teachers with assessing the task.

This resource contains three crossword puzzles for three topics: Meiosis & Vertical Gene Transfer (Meiosis & Fertilisation, including generating variation) Genes & Phenotype (Mendelian Genetics and Inheritance Patterns) Gene Control (Gene Expression) ANSWERS file for all 3 crosswords Designed for A-level Biology, but may be suitable for GCSE pupils following the separate sciences. Each file includes two copies of the blank crossword, such that when printed the crossword will take up the size of one A5 piece of paper. A bundle containing these and other crosswords related to Genetics & Evolution is also available here https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/crosswords-for-a-level-biology-genetics-and-evolution-12056640 The bundle contains 8 crosswords covering the concepts Nucleic Acids & Protein Synthesis (3 crosswords) Inherited Change (3 crosswords) Selection & Evolution (2 crosswords)

This sheet provides instructions, and success criteria to support students in learning how to make scientific line drawings. This will be particularly useful for GCSE and A-level biology, but it is good to develop this skill in students while they are still in KS3. An example is also shown.

The attached file contains results of an imaginary genetic experiment with a newly discovered species. These results provide genetic recombination evidence which will be used to determine which of four genes are found on the same chromosome (linked genes). Pupils can be asked to perform a chi-squared analysis on the results. G&T pupils can also use the recombination evidence to map the observed genes on the species two chromosomes. A mark-scheme including working of the chi-squared analysis is provided. The activity may also be suitable for G&T GCSE/IGCSE pupils following the separate science (triple award) route.

The resource includes a pupil worksheet and accompanying teacher notes (including calculations) for pupils to practice using the student’s t-test. The worksheet includes a scenario in which the t-test is used to determine significant differences between populations of foxes living in different habitats. The t-test is used in the context of natural selection, and pupils are asked to describe directional selection pressures which could lead to the observed differences.

An open-ended assessment task for pupils who have recently studied global warming. The task focuses on the effects and consequences of global warming rather than the causes, but also includes an extension activity requiring pupils to consider how the process of global warming may be stopped or slowed down. Suitable for KS3 and KS4 geography The resource is provided with two levels of differentiated support and also includes teacher's notes.

This resource is a lesson plan for a lesson providing a case study on the consequences of global warming for polar bears. The lesson plan includes links to a number of videos with suggestions of how to integrate them into the lesson. Three alternative plenary exercises are provided. The lesson plan is also included along with assessment resources in my bundle on global warming and climate change which can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/global-warming-and-climate-change-11315427

This resource is most likely to be used as an extension activity for gifted & talented or high ability pupils in GCSE, A-level or IB biology. Both the student sheet and answers (separate teacher sheet) are provided for download. The activity provides a detailed diagram showing the process of fertilisation in mammals, which pupils are expected to label and annotate. Pupils will be required to recognise the function of the acrosome in sperm and the cortical reaction, which prevents polyspermy.

This resource contains an End of Unit Test and associated markscheme, designed for use at the end of a unit on Global Warming and/or Climate Change in KS3 or geography but may also be suitable for KS4. Each question is identified as being low, medium or high ability and suggested 'grade' thresholds are given at the end of both pupil and teacher documents. This resource may be used following "End of Unit AfL task for Global Warming"

This resource provides an End of Unit Test and Mark scheme, designed for use in KS3 geography, however it may also be suitable for KS4. Pupils will be tested on their understanding of industry sectors and how these link to economic development; TNCs; industry locations and inputs, processes and outputs of industry. The test questions are identified as low difficulty, medium difficulty or high difficulty. Suggested 'grade' thresholds are given in the mark scheme. The test could be used following the "AfL task for Industry KS3/KS4 geography" which can be found in my shop.
