Energy Transfer Worksheets AQA A-level Biology

(0)
These worksheets are part of the AQA Section 5 A-level Biology Worksheet Bundle. 3 worksheets covering the Section 5, Energy and Ecosystems section of the AQA A-level Biology Specification. 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. Similar worksheets available on: Cell structure The immune response Protein synthesis Photosynthesis Respiration Nutrient Cycles Protein synthesis Epigenetics Inheritance The kidney Receptors Nerve Impulses In vivo & 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!

Revision Bubble Mindmap Template
TeachSecondaryScienceTeachSecondaryScience

Revision Bubble Mindmap Template

(0)
Organise revision with this bubble mindmap template (8 colour choices included: grey, pale pink, yellow, turquoise, red, green, blue & orange). Conventional mindmaps are not for everyone, they can easily look very messy and students often just write their entire notes in very small writing to fit everything onto one page. The advantage of bubble mindmaps is that there are a limited number of bubbles to fit the key points in, so it really forces students to think about what information is actually the most important. Useful for all age groups, from KS3 to GCSE and A-level.

A foldable meiosis worksheet summarising the key events of meiosis (2 versions included - one with all the separate stages for OCR & another version that just summarises the key events for AQA).
GCSE Separate Science Past Paper Tracker Spreadsheet
TeachSecondaryScienceTeachSecondaryScience

GCSE Separate Science Past Paper Tracker Spreadsheet

(0)
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.

AQA A-level Biology Required Practical Revision Sheets and Scientific Methodology Flashcards

AQA A-level Biology Required Practical Revision Sheets and Scientific Methodology Flashcards

2 Resources
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. Plus, set of 65 flashcards covering practical skills & experimental design. Covers topics such as: Different types of variable Accuracy / precision / repeatability etc Uncertainty Range / standard deviation Choice of statistical test Choice of graph Basic practical skills such as scientific drawing rules, eye piece graticule calibration etc There is some ambiguity when it comes to mark schemes on questions such as accuracy/precision - with different exam boards sometimes having slightly different answers. I have tried to include the most appropriate answer on the flashcards, but if anyone disagrees with any of the answers - please do send me an email at the address below and I will alter the answers accordingly! 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.

Please note, not all possible variations for each PAG are included, please see below for exactly which specific practicals are included. 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.

Condensed Revision Notes AQA A-level Biology Biological Molecules Blurting

(0)
Condensed revision notes for Section 1 Biological Molecules of the AQA A-level Biology specification. Blurting is one of the best revison techniques for A-level Biology. Students should write down everything they can remember about a particular topic on a scrap piece of paper. Then use their notes to fill in any missed points. However, blurting is only going to be effective if students are using notes with the correct content & key terms to check the information that they’ve written down from memory. I designed these sheets for my own students to use. They divide the specification into A4 page topics, each of which is the right length to be covered in one ‘blurting’ session. Download includes 9 pages of notes: Monomers & polymers, inorganic ions Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Enzymes Nucleic acids DNA replication ATP Water If you find these notes useful and would like me to upload similar notes for the other AQA topics, please leave a positive review!
