UPDATED with new fonts and new fully completed versions that can be used as handouts. These worksheets are included in the AQA Section 5 Worksheet Bundle. 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. Includes 4 worksheets covering: structure/function of chloroplasts light dependent reaction light independent reaction * limiting factors of photosynthesis 2 different light independent reaction worksheets are included - one with ‘TP’ for AQA/OCR, and the other with ‘GALP’, for those teaching the Edexcel specification. For each worksheet, differentiated versions are included: a version containing just the diagram, for more confident students to annotate themselves. a scaffolded version, with ‘fill in the gap’ structure. Completed versions of all worksheets are included. *Similar style worksheets also available for: Cell structure Protein synthesis Tissue fluid formation Immune response CO2 transport Respiration Energy transfers Nutrient cycles Epigenetics Inheritance Kidney Receptors Nervous Impulses Blood glucose control In vivo and in vitro cloning If you find these worksheets useful I would really appreciate a positive review. Equally, any constructive feedback would be gratefully received and changes can be made accordingly!

Student progress checklist and key word sheet for the Cells and Organisation KS3 topic. Also included are two quick ideas for diffusion practicals and a generic practical recording sheet for students to complete.

AQA GCSE required practical revision notes/sheets covering all 21 required practicals for Combined Science/Trilogy (higher tier). 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 an example method and (where relevant) 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 them with any further information as needed. Please note that I can accept no responsibility for your final exam grade should you choose to use these revision resources. These resources are intended to help students actively revise, but students should be aware that a high proportion of the marks in your exams are AO2 and AO3 marks and students should therefore use a variety of resources and techniques in preparation for all of the question styles that will be encountered in the exam. Whilst these resources have been written with past mark schemes in mind, there is no guarantee that future mark schemes will be the same. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this resource, but I am only human, so if you spot an error, please email teachsecondaryscience@gmail.com and the resource will be updated ASAP.

Clickable powerpoint quiz (10 multiple choice questions of varying difficulty) to quickly assess understanding of the carbohydrates topic of A-level Biology. Press play on the Powerpoint & click on the ‘click to begin button’. The embedded links will automatically take students to a page telling them if their selected answers are correct or incorrect. Where applicable, information is given as to why their answer is incorrect (this is not given for all questions as extra information woudl would give the answer away in some cases).

40 marks of exam-style questions covering the A-level Biology topic of meiosis. Written for the AQA specification, but the majority of the questions are relevant to all exam boards. Non-disjunction has intentionally been set as the last question, allowing it to be easily removed for those exam boards which don’t include this sub-topic. Questions have been designed with the intention of covering as many permutations as possible with regards to meiosis exam questions, but without repetition. Useful as a homework / self-assessment / revision task before an end-of-topic test. Includes full mark scheme.

4 worksheets ideal for Year 7 homeworks (each worksheet should take roughly 20-30 minutes to complete). Suitable for use in cover lessons as full answers are included for non-specialist teachers (full answers included with the exception of the research a specialised cell worksheet) Research a specialised cell 6 mark compare question on palisade leaf cells and root hair cells. Diffusion worksheet primarily focussed on drawing a graph. Quick assessment worksheet (21 marks total)

30 flashcards covering content from the KS3 Cells and Organisation topic. Designed so that answers print on the back of each question, so no sticking required - just print and cut out each flashcard. Use for revision lessons or for early finishers.

Detailed worksheet covering (virtually all) possible autosomal linkage exam questions. Could be used as homework or as an assessment (due to the low number of past exam questions on this particular topic). Includes a chi-squared question and links to/revision of meiosis Made with AQA in mind, but the specifications for OCR and Edexcel are pretty similar for this topic, so would be beneficial to those specifications as well. Mark scheme included.

Activity designed for sections 3.7.2 and 3.7.3 of the AQA specification (however would also work well for other exam boards). 16 tasks divided into 4 themed stations (2 on population genetics, 1 on the different types of natural selection and 1 on speciation). Designed as a group revision activity. PDF includes task card sheets to be printed, cut out (and laminated). Also includes student answer sheets (which correspond to the task card layout), along with full teacher answers. PDF is black and white only - I printed each station on a different coloured card/paper before laminating.

Revision note templates covering Section 3 (Organisms exchange substances with their environment) of the AQA AS Biology specification. Help your students develop efficient note-taking skills, which will stand them in good stead for university. Revision pages cover gas exchange, digestion & absorption, mass transport in animals and mass transport in plants. What’s included? 16 pages of blank A4 pages with questions/headings/diagrams to help students complete structured, concise revision notes. Completed versions of all pages (useful for teachers new to teaching the AQA specification or for students who have missed several lessons). There is space at the bottom of each page for students to summarise key points or make a note of important key phrases or definitions. These could be used throughout the teaching of each topic, or students could complete the notes in preparation for end-of-topic tests.

Epigenetics A-level summary worksheet covering the epigenetic mechanisms of methylation and acetylation. Suitable for any exam board which covers the epigenetics topic. Includes differentiated versions - one scaffolded ‘fill in the word’ style worksheet for less confident students and a less scaffolded version for more confident students. Also includes an answer sheet (which could be used as a handout). Designed for colour to be added by each individual student, to aid the formation of visual memories. Useful as a revision or homework exercise to check understanding. Completed worksheets can then form part of the student’s revision notes. Similar style worksheets available for: Respiration Photosynthesis Protein synthesis Tissue fluid Inheritance

Hardy-Weinberg calculation worksheet for A-level Biology. Part of a growing bundle of worksheets aimed at improving maths skill confidence for A-level Biologists. 21 marks in total. Great for a homework exercise to assess student’s abilities or for student’s to use for self-assessment. Includes full mark scheme. Mixed maths/statistics question assessment booklet also available, along with a serial dilution calculation worksheet and percentage change calculation worksheet.

30 flashcards designed to test A-level students on their knowledge of meiosis in an engaging & productive way. Designed for the AQA specification, but these cards would be useful for all exam boards (the final 3 flashcards are on the topic of non-disjunction, which is not relevant to all other exam boards). I use this resource as a consolidation task prior to the end-of-topic assessment. Great task for encouraging active recall, so students learn by retrieving information from their brain (as opposed to trying to put information into their brain). What does this resource include? 30 flashcards, to be printed double-sided on 3 sheets of A4 card or paper. Includes one version with the answers completed, & another version with the answer side blank for students to complete. How to use? Provide students with a set of the ‘blank answer’ flashcards and ask them to complete the answers as a homework or revision task. Print & laminate the completed flashcards to use as an activity for early finishers. Use as a class revision exercise. Also available as part of a meiosis bundle, which includes a meiosis worksheet and a foldable visual worksheet outlining the stages of meiosis.

I’ve been using the ‘past paper’ method for years with my students. Students complete a past paper, mark and analyse their results using MARCKS and then write SMART targets to plan targeted revision sessions. If they don’t comfortably acheive their target grade in the first attempt, they are encouraged to repeat the past paper 2-3 days later (after having completed targeted revision). I’ve found that giving students access to this editable spreadsheet has massively increased motivation to actually use the method properly and stick with it. Students can select from drop down boxes to input their current grade for Biology, Chemistry & Physics. Then they input their target grade. Everytime they complete a past paper, they can input their mark, percentage & grade. The spreadsheet has space for 3 attempts at each paper. Finally at the end of each row, students can select whether they have achieved their target grade for that past paper or not. This is designed for students studying separate sciences, a spreadsheet for trilogy students will be made available ASAP. If you need to clear the text from a cell with a drop down box - DO NOT DELETE IT as this will delete the formatting for the cell. Just select ‘none’ from the drop down box. Available as .numbers or .xlsx download. This spreadsheet does NOT seem to work on iPads I’m afraid, but I have tested it on an iMac, macbook & a laptop running excel and the formatting appears to work properly.

Great for a homework exercise to assess student’s abilities or for students to use for self-assessment. Other maths worksheets available include: Mixed maths/statistics question assessment booklet Serial dilution calculation worksheet Percentage change calculation worksheet Hardy-Weinberg calculation worksheet

I designed this 12-page A4 workbook of exam-style questions to help my students consolidate the Biological Molecules topic. Written with the AQA specification in mind, but suitable for other exam boards. Covers all the key content for Section 1 of the AQA A-level Biology specification. I tend to give this to students to guide their revision, but it would also be a really useful activity for cover lessons. A fully completed version of the workbook with model answers is included.
