Practical booklet which pupils complete - covers biuret test in a different and fun context, where pupils have to find out which sample is the 'real' blood sample (contains the globular protein - hemoglobin). Suitable for all years and can be adapted very easily via end page (questions are pre-set for AS/A level Biology students but can be changed easily to differentiate for classes you may teach). Requisition practical equipment (test tubes, blood looking samples e.g. tomato paste, ketchup, paint, order real animal blood etc). Has embedded peer-assessment, where pupils can comment on how each pupil wrote their report, focusing on particular sections for areas of improvement e.g. for KS3, may not have included all materials and methods.

Suitable for GCSE and AS/A level Biology Pupils use the sheet (print in A3) to fill in and summarize understanding of enzymes, covers: Enzyme function Mechanism by which enzymes carry out their function Factors affecting rate of enzymatic reactions.

Suitable for AS/A-level Biology Pupils fill in the group activity using relevant resources e.g. books, the internet etc. They can only use pictures in the boxes, they then have to convert the pictures to written information (cell cycle phases fill in table).

Instructions: Pupils label features of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, can split the class in half and use A3-sized diagrams, first team to label the components wins. Pupils then use the Venn diagram template to label the features, can also enhance this by reviews comparing the features of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells e.g. The origin of eukaryotes: a reappraisal - (Duve, 2007) Suitable for AS/A-level Biology

Suitable for AS/A-level Biology Includes Protein factory sheets and protein factory workbook Using the sheets in groups (e.g. one of each per table) pupils have to work through the sheets by indicating the correct choice and answer questions on transcription and translation (see workbook). Covers: Transcription Translation DNA replication Degeneracy of genetic code Codon-anticodon pairing The workbook provided is differentiated and scaffolded for pupils via questions having success criteria and also super-challenge questions as well. Correct answers are on the worksheets, however, ensure that you explain clearly to students that they need to work through it systematically.

Suitable for AS/A-level Biology, pupils work in groups and have to cut and stick to create the double helix model of DNA (see slide 5 for WAGOLL). For each feature (see slide 4), there are points associated with the relevant features being included. This can be used to turn it into a competition between teams/introduce a competitive element. Covers: DNA structure DNA base pairing Bonding

Resource sheets with information on different cell components and booklet style format. Suitable for AS/A-level Biology

Various activities for teaching drugs in PSHE. 1. Starter > True/false 2. Addiction perspective worksheet > Pupils complete worksheet and have a class discussion about addiction and the impact/consequences of drug use 3. Drugs fill in table > Fill in table with information on different drugs (information sheets attached as PPT - print in A3).

Quick quiz covering vaccination, good as a starter to recap previously covered content.

Covers AQA Biology B1, new specification. Various questions on vaccination with the mark scheme.

Pupils complete activity mat (print in A3) in groups, sharing the information sheets around (print sheets in A3). Covers: All the different types of nutrients Sources of the nutrients Has objective criteria, also has extension questions on the information sheets if some pupils finish earlier than others.

Pupils act as doctors and have to diagnose what the patient needs to do to become healthy again. Pupils discuss all four case studies in groups, one of each group then presents their diagnosis to the rest of the class (facilitates discussion).

Covers: Xylem and Phloem Inhalation Structure of a leaf Reducing spread of disease Good as an extension activity. Please leave feedback and a review.

Good worksheet that goes through and covers the different aspects of carrying out a practical investigation. Models and scaffolds pupils thinking to help them plan and carry out a practical investigation.

Instruction sheet for drawing line graphs, provides some data for volcanoes for pupils to use. Good for cross-curricular Science engagement (Geography with HSW). Works best for KS3, use in combination with line graph drawings on IWB to help model expectations.

Covers: Ceramics Advantages and Disadvantages of using ceramics How some ceramics are formed Monomers Polymers Properties of Polymers Pupils complete placemat activity where they have to fill in the various bits of information. Contains checks for pupils to show progress via self-assessment. Included additionally: A composite worksheet, where pupils have to design their own base-layer/composite. Good for KS3 and KS4.

Complete lesson on the Stoop effect. Good for cross Science engagement. Pupils make their own neutral and stoop lists, and then turn this into a practical investigation.

Covers various aspects of health and fitness. Body systems Inhalation Exhalation Alveoli Respiration Structure and function of the Heart Joints Smoking Good for KS3 and KS4. Works well if pupils are provided with an interactive resource e.g. Laptops to access Bitesize. Best used in A3.

Covers AQA new specification GCSE Biology. Covers: Structure & function of Xylem and Phloem Transpiration Factors affecting transpiration Practical investigation (examining xylem and phloem under a microscope) HSW. + PPT

Pupils create a facebook timeline on the work of Ignaz Semmelweiss. Covers AQA new specification.
