AQA A-level Biology Required Practical Revision Sheets and Scientific Methodology Flashcards

2 Resources
<p>AQA Required practical revision notes/sheets covering the 12 A-level required practicals (redox indicator &amp; respirometer included for required practical 9)</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Each sheet includes key information, an example method (where relevant) and most importantly, exam-style questions and model answers.</p> <p>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 with any further information as needed.</p> <p>Plus, set of 65 flashcards covering practical skills &amp; experimental design.</p> <p>Covers topics such as:<br /> Different types of variable<br /> Accuracy / precision / repeatability etc<br /> Uncertainty<br /> Range / standard deviation<br /> Choice of statistical test<br /> Choice of graph<br /> Basic practical skills such as scientific drawing rules, eye piece graticule calibration etc</p> <p>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 send me an email at the address below and I will alter the answers accordingly!</p> <p><strong>Please note that I can accept no responsibility for your final exam grade should you choose to use these revision resources. These resources are intended to help students actively revise, but students should be aware that a high proportion of the marks in your exams are AO2 and AO3 marks and students should therefore use a variety of resources and techniques in preparation for all of the question styles that will be encountered in the exam. Whilst these resources have been written with past mark schemes in mind, there is no guarantee that future mark schemes will be the same.</strong></p> <p><strong>Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this resource, but I am only human, so if you spot an error, please email <a href="mailto:teachsecondaryscience@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">teachsecondaryscience@gmail.com</a> and the resource will be updated ASAP.</strong></p>

<p>I have made this resource for my school’s alternative curriculum facility at the request of our Deputy Headteacher. They wanted a unit of work for students who had been sent out of lessons for a longer period of time which was separate from work being covered in class, as managing the former system was getting tricky.</p> <p>I decided to make a Working Scientifically resources which could be completed independently, but that would also double as a revision resources for students or a teaching resource for lesson time.</p> <p>The workbook covers:<br /> Introduction (which incorporates a skills checklist and the list of the AQA Required Practical Activities)<br /> Key Words<br /> Identifying Variables<br /> Hypotheses and Predictions<br /> Apparatus and Techniques<br /> Methods<br /> Risk Assessments<br /> Tables of Results<br /> Types of Data, Graphs and Charts<br /> Presenting Data<br /> Evaluation<br /> Peer Review<br /> Referencing<br /> Conclusions</p> <p>I hope that you will find this resources useful. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for improving the workbook! :)</p>

Presentation covering most of the main ideas behind planning and analysing practical science. Includes some activities to help students understand why we use control variables to ensure valid results.<br /> <br /> I'd suggest this is either broken up to cover multiple lessons, or just segments used as and when they are needed to suplemment the lesson.

Participatory pattern workshops: a methodology

(0)
In order to promote pedagogically informed use of technology, educators need to develop an active, inquisitive, design-oriented mindset. Design Patterns have been demonstrated as powerful mediators of theory-praxis conversations yet widespread adoption by the practitioner community remains a challenge. Over several years, the authors and their colleagues have facilitated many workshops in which participants shared experiences, captured these as design narratives, extracting design patterns, and applied them to novel teaching challenges represented as design scenarios.
