Biology Paper 1 revision. A selection of revision resources covering AQA Biology: Unit 1 Cell biology Unit 2 Organisation Unit 3 Infection & response Unit 4 Bioenergetics Includes: 5 sets of Q&A cards (72 in total) for independent/group activities, 2 PowerPoint based class quizzes, a (very) detailed mindmap (with helpful suggestions on how to use it) complete lesson on aerobic respiration to use for recap and a cell biology quiz plenary activity. The cards are designed to print, cut and go, you are welcome to give these to students for them to use outside of the classroom for independent revision. I tend to give them to my students for this purpose and they love them! Each quiz can take quite a good portion of a lesson (40mins to answer in teams and go through the answers) to get through, it took my class a little longer than I expected but again the students really enjoyed the format of it and the team challenge element. The mindmap covers the whole of infection & response including the biology only content as a seperate map. The aerobic respiration lesson can be used to recap skills as well as content. I hope you find the range of activities engages and supports your students in their revision, good luck for the 10th May! As always please email me at shropshirescienceteacher@gmail.com with any queries, and I’m always grateful for postive reviews!
