This is a fun (and moderately challenging) crossword puzzle that would serve as an excellent starter, plenary or in-lesson activity for any class about DNA structure. This crossword tests students’ knowledge of: The location of DNA in the cell The nucleotide as the basic building block of DNA Complimentary base pairing This is a lot of fun and your kids will love it. If your students have never learnt anything about DNA before, then you could provide the students with a summary to help them as they do the puzzle. In this pack you get a PPTX (which you can edit), a pdf version and a png of the puzzle itself (in case you want to project it on your interactive whiteboard for students to fill in).

This is the perfect starter, plenary or homework for any advanced biology lesson that introduces students to cellular respiration. This resource is suitable for 'A' - Level and IBDP students. This quick quiz (with answers) covers the following: 1. The differences between reduction and oxidation (essential prior knowledge for any student hoping to learn about respiration) 2. The four main stages of glycolysis There is also a handy acronym at the end that helps students to remember the four stages of glycolysis

This is a simple but effective tool for helping students to remember the key stages in Photosynthesis. Ideal for learners who are having difficulties transitioning from GCSE/IGCSE to A-Level/IB. You may wish to cut up the answers and provide the blank chart for students to stick them on, or simply provide the blank chart and get the students to try and fill it in. This chart covers: 1. The role of chlorophyll 2. The photolysis of water 3. The exchange of various (oxygen and carbon dioxide) 4. The role that hydrogen plays after photolysis is completed 5. Some chloroplast structure vocabulary (grana and stoma)

This quick activity can be used as a starter, plenary or mid-lesson worksheet. Students have to fill in the boxes to show the stages in photosynthesis (and how they all link together). Students should be familiar with the following vocabulary: Chloroplast Chlorophyll Grana Stoma

This is a great worksheet for GCSE students and covers the basics of cell structure and function. I've included a pdf and a word doc version. It includes True/False questions, filling in the blanks, box matching and word choosing activities. Use this sheet as a quick starter, plenary or homework. Make sure you ask your kids to think of reasons behind the answers (especially the True/False questions). Get groups to write explanations for each answer to question 1 as a follow up activity (or as a good extension activity for students who finish early).

This is a fun MCQ and fill in the blanks quiz about cells, which is suitable for advanced learners (e.g. 'A' - Level or IB Diploma students). This quiz should save you a lot of time, and is the the perfect starter or plenary to an advanced-level cell biology lesson. The quiz covers the following key words and phrases: Cell membrane Cytoplasm Endoplasmic reticulum Golgi bodies (you can change this to 'Golgi apparatus', if you wish) Mitochondria Nucleus Ribosomes Organelles Enzymes Proteins Lysosomes Vacuole Nucleolus Nuclear membranes
