AQA A2 A level Biology Revision Questions and Answers

(0)
395 questions and answers covering section 5-8 of the AQA A-level specification. Great for self-assessment. Section 1-4 questions also available, or both sets available as a bundle. 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.
KS3 Chemistry Periodic Table Cover Lesson Activities

KS3 Chemistry Periodic Table Cover Lesson Activities

(0)
If you find yourself needing to cover a KS3 chemistry lesson, this bundle of no-prep activities will keep your class engaged in your absence. All your class will need is access to a periodic table, access to the internet (only for 1 of the worksheets) and a print-out of the desired activities. What’s included? A student-information sheet on the periodic table with a worksheet to complete (includes an extension task). A ‘research an element’ worksheet. Either let students pick their own element or who ever is covering the lesson could use a random-word generator to assign each student a different element (students will need access to the internet for this activity). A ‘mystery element’ quiz worksheet - solve the periodic table-based clues to find the mystery element. A 10-question powerpoint periodic table quiz. Divide the class into pairs / small groups. Who can name an element named after a planet? Who knows an element which is magnetic? Any idea which country is named after silver?? (please note - in order to avoid formatting issues, the powerpoint slides are NOT editable) All of these activities are suitable for a cover lesson as full answers are included. Activities can be mixed and matched based on lesson length / class ability / prior knowledge of this topic.

I’d really appreciate a positive review if you find these worksheets helpful. Equally if you spot an error or have a suggestion which would improve the worksheets, please do let me know and I will make the alteration(s) and upload updated versions. Thank you!

AQA GCSE Combined Science Trilogy Required Practical Revision Sheets

AQA GCSE Combined Science Trilogy Required Practical Revision Sheets

(1)
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.
