Six mark question on mitosis and meiosis. Compliments the B12.2 lesson on cell division in sexual reproduction. Please feel free to check out my other resources :)

This worksheet requires students to complete an unlabelled diagram using the AQA biology textbook (Page 188-189). This worksheet supports the lesson created on dialysis. *Top tip-to save printing print 2 of these pages to 1 A4 * AQA spec link: 5.3.3 People who suffer from kidney failure may be treated by using kidney dialysis. Students should know the basic principles of the operation of a dialysis machine.

Just as it says on the tin. Please share your thoughts in a review. Thank you!

The start of the school year is stressful for all teachers, old and new. Here’s a beginners checklist to help refresh you on some helpful things to do on your first few weeks back at school.

A lovely set of Eight folder cover inserts that look pretty without the colour! Download for FREE Please share your thoughts in a review.

Card sort activity. Great AfL in a starter activity.

Electronic markbooks are the way forward, I always create a markbook for each of my classes at the begininning of the school year. It’s the ideal way to not only record class tests/homework but to monitor progress. Save paper and keep it backed up on to your schools ‘cloud network’ so it can never be lost! I have applied conditional formatting rules to relevant cells to make it easier to identify specifics and provided a key :-) Download this resource for completely FREE all you have to do is input the data! Please share your thoughts in a review! This markbook has been perfected over five years, if you have any helpful suggestions please leave a comment.

To make it paper friendly print two copies to an A4. I normally ask students to glue this worksheet into the front of their books, everytime I mark their books I refer to this worksheet and tick/cross what has/hasn’t been met otherwise students tend to fall back into poor note taking habits. I print this for all year groups from years 7-13, so it really is suitable for everyone :) Download for FREE and leave a review!

Complete lesson Includes: questions, embedded videos, slide timers, slide animations, interactive answers on slides, and a plenary.

6.5.2 Work done and energy transfer lesson created in accordance to the NEW AQA Specification (9-1). Includes: slide animations, embedded videos, and worksheet with answers as well as a interactive review task. If for any reason the video link does not work, a URL has also been included in the notes. For further enquiries please email paperfriendlyresources@gmail.com

If you have the opportunity this is an excellent practical to do with your KS4 separate sciences classes. It is not required but WS skills can be learnt from this activity. I adapted this worksheet after stubbling across a version on the net, I have tried to make it as student friendly as possible and also shared with you an image of the complete dissection done by some of my talented Y11 students.

New systems of classification lesson created in accordance to the NEW AQA Specification (9-1). Designed for higher ability class, although content can be adjusted to suit any ability. Includes: embedded videos and timers, slide animations, practice questions with answers on slides, worksheet and an interactive quiz. NB: If you are unable to play videos a URL link can be found in the slide notes. AQA spec link: 4.6.4 Relevant chapter: B14 Genetics and evolution. AQA combined trilogy edition textbook-Page 200-201 Students are required to know the following; As evidence of internal structures became more developed due to improvements in microscopes, and the understanding of biochemical processes progressed, new models of classification were proposed. Due to evidence available from chemical analysis there is now a ‘threedomain system’ developed by Carl Woese. In this system organisms are divided into: •archaea (primitive bacteria usually living in extreme environments) •bacteria (true bacteria) •eukaryota (which includes protists, fungi, plants and animals). WS 1.1 Understand how scientific methods and theories develop over time. Evolutionary trees are a method used by scientists to show how they believe organisms are related. They use current classification data for living organisms and fossil data for extinct organisms.

NB: This is a BIOLOGY (SEPARATES) ONLY lesson More about plant diseases lesson created in accordance to the NEW AQA Specification (9-1). Includes: slide animations, embedded videos, differentiated questions, answers have also been included within the slides. This resource is NOT suitable for combined science students. AQA spec link: 4.3.3.1 Relevant chapter: B5-Communicable diseases . AQA Biology third edition textbook-Page 92-93. Plant diseases can be detected by: • stunted growth • spots on leaves • areas of decay (rot) • growths • malformed stems or leaves • discolouration • the presence of pests. Identification can be made by: • reference to a gardening manual • taking infected plants to a laboratory to identify the pathogen • using testing kits that contain monoclonal antibodies. Plants can be infected by a range of viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens as well as by insects. Knowledge of plant diseases is restricted to tobacco mosaic virus as a viral disease, black spot as a fungal disease, and aphids as insects. Plants can be damaged by a range of ion deficiency conditions: • stunted growth caused by nitrate deficiency • chlorosis caused by magnesium deficiency. Knowledge of ions is limited to nitrate ions needed for protein synthesis and therefore growth and magnesium ions needed to make chlorophyll.

Mini topic test on Mitosis and the cell cycle, can be set as an open or closed book asssessment. Mark scheme included.

Unit 2-Practical scientific procedures and techniques Learning aim C: Undertake chromatographic techniques to identify components in mixtures. For many of my students this was the first time they needed to write a scientific report i thus produced a guide for this learning aim. This was a huge success and i had the pleasure of marking some beautifully written reports. The relevant P/M/D criteria for this learning aim have been covered within this guide. I’ve also attached the specification and assignment briefs so you can have it all in one place. Best of all enjoy it all for free :)

Aims In this activity students will use an aseptic (sterile) technique and a small part of a cauliflower ‘flower’ to clone and create an entirely new plant. Learning outcomes After completing this practical, students should be able to: • state why plant clones are genetically identical to each other • explain how using tissue culture creates a clone of a plant • explain why it is easier to clone a plant than an animal • explain and carry out a practical accurately and safely in order to successfully clone a plant.

Always helps to have a copy of this in the back of students exercise books.

I've attached an applied science-revision checklist. It's essentially a copy of the Pearson applied science specification-I've just broken it down and chunked relevant topics. I have handed this to students so they can use it as a revision tool. Hope it helps. I've also made a checklist for the physics and chemistry unit.
