Protein Synthesis Worksheets A-level Biology
Visually appealing worksheets covering the processes of transcription and translation. Relevant to all A-level Biology exam boards.
Useful as a revision / homework 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 memory triggers.
Includes 2 worksheets covering:
Transcription
Translation
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 with answers are also included.
Revision Timetable Printable PDF
Printable revision timetables ideal for GCSE and A-level students.
Download contains 4 different colour options, plus one black and white version.
For each different colour, there is an option with time slots already completed & a blank version for students to choose their own timings for each session.
The two hour slots at the beginning & end of each day are for completing past papers - for any other revision, make sure you have a break after 1 hour of revising. I personally don’t suggest students timetable revision for early in the morning and late in the evening on the same day - choosing one or the other is usually best, depending on when students work best.
Condensed Revision Notes AQA A-level Biology Biological Molecules Blurting
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!
GCSE Biology Paper 1 Required Practical Revision Sheets
AQA GCSE required practical revision notes/sheets covering the 6 Biology Paper 1 required practicals (for triple science).
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 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 them with any further information as needed.
OCR 'A' A-level Biology Module 1 Revision Flashcards
Set of 88 flashcards covering practical skills & experimental design. Suitable for all exam boards.
Covers topics such as:
Different types of variable
Accuracy / precision / repeatability etc
Uncertainty
Range / standard deviation
Choice of statistical test
Choice of graph
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 leave a review and I will alter the answers accordingly!
