Revision questions - AQA B1
Covers:
Xylem and Phloem
Inhalation
Structure of a leaf
Reducing spread of disease
Good as an extension activity. Please leave feedback and a review.
Practical worksheet science
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.
Nutrition and Diet
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.
Create a DNA template
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
Transcription and translation
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.
Cell cycle
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).
Enzymes
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.
Fossils practical
Practical booklet for pupils to guide them through creating their own fossils using plaster of paris, and also covers fossil excavation.
Cell division
Two different worksheets that can be used when teaching cell division, the first is a summary sheet which pupils complete and the second is an independent learning sheet with questions that pupils answer. Can use one or both of the resources.
Suitable for KS4 and KS5
Natural selection
Natural selection card game - pupils play a board game to see which of them can survive!
Instructions are on the game edit worksheet
Enzyme inhibitors lesson
Complete lesson made during PGCE last year for A-level.
Includes various worksheets and questions for pupils to complete.
Cloning
Pupils fill in the cloning comparison table, can use with textbooks, internet etc.
Current & Voltage PPT
Contained is a current and voltage powerpoint, aimed at Years 7-9, KS3.
Plant responses (A-level)
Powerpoint and associated quizzes and resources.
Light Lesson
Contained is a powerpoint outling the basic principles of light, and also a keywords worksheet to allow students to learn the basic principles of light, aimed at Years 7-9, KS3.
Elements & Compounds Lesson
Contained is a powerpoint for elements & compounds, a learning mat activity and an activity on making compounds, aimed at KS3, Years 7-9.
Mixtures Lesson
Contained is a mixture powerpoint and a worksheet, aimed at KS3, Years 7-9, studying chemistry.
Biological molecules - carbohydrates
Exam past paper questions on carbohydrates with mark scheme
suitable for AQA/OCR A-level
Cell components
Resource sheets with information on different cell components and booklet style format.
Suitable for AS/A-level Biology
Proteins
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.
