I have been teaching Biology for 20 years and I have struggled to find concise and engaging resources for teaching Biology, which is why I have set about creating my own.
I hope that my resources are enjoyed by your pupils and of course support their learning of such an interesting and great subject.

This is a very useful and comprehensive resource for students studying A level Biology. A great refresher for the teacher too or someone teaching Biology who may not be so confident when it comes to teaching statistics.
The resource is a 22 page booklet which covers all the key aspects of statistics required for Biology at A level.
There are worked examples and questions for the students to work through.
This booklet has been designed to be fully explanatory so that students can work through it independently.
The booklet is fully comprehensive and no other resources are needed; all probability tables are given with the questions.
The key topics covered in the booklet are:
1.) Why use statistics on data
2.) Calculating standard deviation and its meaning
3.) The student t-test
4.) The Spearman rank correlation coefficient
5.) The Chi-squared test

A separate answer booklet is provided with answers to all questions given.
This bundle includes a number of pupil-led activities which are great for revision or assessing your students’ prior understanding of a topic.
There are two main types of activity included in this bundle: card sorts and loop games.
A pack of three pupil-led activities designed to engage learners in the classroom whilst studying the respiratory system topic.
Activity 1 - Card sort on breathing and lung structure.
You could either print this on paper and then cut/guillotine so that pupils could then order them in the correct sequence and glue into their classbook.
Or alternatively print onto card or laminate if on paper to create a resource that can be used again and again.
Activity 2 - Card sort on the mechanism of breathing.
There is a differentiated version of this activity with the higher tier version featuring the internal and external intercostal muscles.
Activity 3 - Loop game on the topic of the respiratory system and respiration. There is a differentiated version of this activity with the higher tier version featuring the internal and external intercostal muscles.
The idea of this activity is that the pupils have to pay close attention to the question being read out as they may have the correct answer to the question. Pupils seem to really enjoy this activity and it not only helps their learning but is fun too. Either print on card or laminate if on paper to make a reusable resource for the classroom.
These activities would be useful as a plenary at the end of the topic or as part of a revision lesson.
Activities such as these are praised in observed lessons as the activity is pupil-led rather than teacher-led; great for when being inspected :)
