The booklet covers the Edexcel core practicals for:
Cells / using microscopes
pH changes and enzymes
Osmosis
Food tests (starch, proteins, sugars and lipids)
Extracting DNA
Photosynthesis
Rate of respiration
Quadrats and transects
One booklet includes equipment lists, instructions, diagrams and model results if students are unable to complete the practical as well as extensive exam-style questions to assess understanding and is a great revision, follow up or cover lesson resource
The second booklet contains all of the above but with blank results tables for students to complete.
The full lesson contains a powerpoint covering all specificaiton points for enzymes, including how pH, substrate concentration and temperature affect the rate of reaction. The exam questions can be used to assess students understanding as a lesson task, revision resource or homework.
THis comprehensive resource can be used as a 2/3 whole lessons, cover lesson or revision resource. The content of the OCR specification is covered to A-level standard, inclulding:
-Environmental and genetic factors of variation
-Sexual reproduction and generic variation
- Monogenic inheritance
-Dihybrid inheritance
-Multiple alleles
-Sex-linkage
-Co-dominance
-Epistasis
-Linkage
Questions and answers are included in the powerpoint, with no printing needed.
This comprehensive resource covers control of gene expression to a high A-level standard for the new OCR 2024 specification. Covering specification points 6.1.1 a, b, c and d across a 53 page PowerPoint with exam style questions and answers. This can be used as several whole lessons, revision, home learning or for note-taking.
Covering:
-types of gene mutation and their effect on protein production (insertion, deletion of one or more nucleotides)
-regulatory mechanisms that control gene expression
-transcriptional: lac operon and transcription factors in eukaryotes
post-transcriptional: editing of primary mRNA and removal of introns
Post-translational activation of cyclic AMP
Genetic control of the development of body plans (homeobox and hox genes)
Importance of mitosis and apoptosis as mechanisms controlling the development of body form
This resource covers patterns of inheritance specification points 6.1.2 a and b to a strong A-level standard. Comprising of notes, questions and answers that can be used for in-class lessons, virtual learning, home learning and revision.
Covering:
-The contribution of both environmental and genetic factors to phenotypic variation
-how sexual reproduction can lead to genetic variation within a species
genetic diagrams to show patterns of inheritance
the use of phenotypic ratios to identify linkage
This resource covers the whole of Edexcel GCSE science in recall questions. Learn the answers off by heart to cover all basics at GCSE.
This resource is a great revision aid and can be used independently by students and parents. Helpfully split up into topics for practical revision use.
This PowerPoint concisely covers the Hardy-Weinburg equation and Chi squared test to strong A-level standard. It covers points 6.1.2 c, d and f from the new 2024 OCR specification.
There are examples, questions and answers covering:
-using the chi sqared test to determine the difference between the observed and expected characteristics,
-Continuous and discontinuous variation
Using the Hardy-Weinburg principle to calculate allele frequency in populations
Great as a full class lesson, revision resource or homework practice
This comprehensive resource covers the new 2024 specification for OCR Testing for Carbohydrates.
This resources covers in A-level detail the methods of testing for reducing and non-reducing sugars. It also covers the use of quantitative, semi-quantitative and qualitative methods.
The exam questions thoroughly assess the students understanding of carbohydrates and testing for sugars.
This can be used as a full lesson, homework or revision resource.
The bundle completely covers specification point 3.1 Biological molecules for the AQA syllabus. Each complete lesson consists of an engaging powerpoint, printable exam questions to be used either in-class or as a homework and answers.

Including:
-Cell membranes
-Intrinsic proteins
-Extrinsic proteins
-Glycoproteins
-Glycolipids
-Cholesterol
-Fluid mosaic model
-Factors affecting the cell membrane
-Practical into membrane permeability
-Exam style questions and answers
