Immune Response A-level Biology Summary Worksheets
Four worksheets covering part of the immune response topic for A-level Biology:
Phagocytosis
The Cellular Immune Response
The Humoral Immune Response
Antibodies (includes 2 versions, one which mentions opsonins for OCR and one without for AQA).
(Where relevant, a gap-fill style version and a blank version is included).
Full answer sheets are included, which could alternatively be used as handouts/revision sheets.
My students love completing these visually appealing worksheets, which break topics down into manageable chunks. Useful as a revision exercise or as a quick assessment.
All worksheets are black and white to allow students to add colour to the diagrams, a process which is thought to aid the formation of visual memories.

AQA Required Practical Revision Sheets Notes A-level Biology
Typo in onion root cell practical equation corrected, please re-download corrected version!!
AQA Required practical revision notes/sheets covering the 12 A-level required practicals (redox indicator & respirometer included for required practical 9)
Despite being worth 15% of the marks, so many students don’t allocate specific revision time to the required practicals. I designed these sheets for my own students to encourage specific revision of the practicals and have seen a great improvement in practical knowledge and the ability to answer practical-based questions.
Each sheet includes key information, an example method (where relevant) and most importantly, exam-style questions and model answers.
The model answers for the exam-style questions have been written based on previous mark schemes, but I cannot guarantee that future mark schemes will be exactly the same. The model answers are for guidance only. Students should be encouraged to use these sheets as a starting point and update/annotate with any further information as needed.
ALSO AVAILABLE (either separately or as a bundle) set of 65 flashcards covering practical skills and general scientific methodology. Search ‘A-level Biology Practical Skills Scientific Methodology Flashcards’.

UPDATED with coloured diagrams on answer sheets.
