All of my resources are priced at the minimum allowed by TES, they aren't trendy or earth shattering, they are a backbone to build the finesse onto, or, if it's period 7 on a Friday, you've got 300 reports still to write, a dozen UCAS references AND you need to set cover for a colleague who's sneezed twice and is off all week, they will serve well enough at an advanced FOFO level.

This is for pupils to develop the ability to use a spreadsheet (I wrote it in excel) to process a large amount of data in order to calculate a value for g (set to be a little lower than 9.8) and then lead into consideration of experimental errors.
Using s=ut + 1/2at2 pupils can calculate gravitational acceleration.
Pupils are provided with values for s and t
Pupils need to calculate a mean t from a very large data set (easy to do using excel).
Pupils then need to square the mean t.
Then they need to plot s against t2 which will give them a linear graph with the gradient as 1/2 a.
The worksheet is editable so weaker pupils can have more guided instructions. Stronger pupils can work their way through.
The accompanying worksheet then looks at errors in measurement- absolute and % AND there is a random error in the data set.
Pupils can use absolute errors in the data to determine size of error bars,
Pupils can work out experimental error, plot best, steepest and shallowest trend lines for g and compare that against the total % error in their data.
A quick revision set for helping older pupil prepare for an Oxford Medical interview.
I use this as flashcards and/ or a matching pairs game then a sequencing activity.
Covers Enzymes.
Lock and Key hypothesis
Michaelis-Menton
I used it with my sixth formers and also as a preparation for an Oxford interview, and also as part of Private Tutoring of a student reading medicine. It's potent and it works.
Editable flashcards for teaching Cell structure.
Can be used as a starter in conjunction with supplementary notes, or a plenary.
Can be used as matching pairs or simply fold down the centre and use as flashcards
Good for Sixth Form biologists and sports scientists.
Used successfully with year 1 medics.
An activity that can be used as a Starter or Plenary.
It is best to look at this as part of the mega bundle.
I use it as flashcards/ matching pairs as a stretch and challenge exercise for my good sixth formers who have aspirations of studying medicine.
Editable.
I added to it to private tutor Year 1 medics and Upper sixth pupils considering Oxbridge.
Set of flashcards for revising Amino acids and so forth.
You can do this as a matching pairs activity or simply fold in half to make flashcards.
Good for upper sixth.
Used successfully with year 1 medics.
I use this interchangeably with A level Biologists and A level Chemists.
This is a set of Flashcards for revising the stages in atherosclerosis.
It can also be a matching pairs/ sequencing exercise.
Editable.
Can be used as a starter or plenary.
I use it for stretch and challenge of better sixth formers wishing to study medicine and have added to it the work for private tutoring of year 1 medics.
Flashcards- good for starter or for revision.
I use this as a matching pairs game, but is equally adaptable as flashcards (fold down the centre and cut) or sequencing activity.
It's a good stretch and challenge for more-able sixth formers or those intending to read medicine.
Good for Post 16 Biologists or Sports Scientists.
Used as a revision resource/ starter for microcirculation.
I use this as a matching pairs game, but it is equally useful as flashcards or for sequencing.
Editable.
Fine for Medics too.
I use it as a starter/ plenary but can be used as revision.
My guide for performing successful titrations.
A tried and tested method to help pupils of all abilities with titrations.
This is something that pupils historically struggle with.
This is designed to help even the most challenging pupil record results that are meaningful.
Post 16 Biology resourses- written for year 1 medics.
Used for medical interviews/ Oxbridge Med society but accessible for sixth formers needing an extension.
I use this to prepare candidates who want to study medicine as a means to demonstrate wider learning. It contains revision flashcards that I used with a year 1 medical student (former pupil) to help with some of the rote learning material.
