100% suitable for OCR A-level biology A specification, 100% suitable for other specifications with slight tweaks!
Are your students struggling with those difficult practical skills questions? Do you want to give your students some much needed practice on skills based questions on practicals, and want to identify specific areas of weaknesses?
Then look no further! I have made resources which have had amazing feed back from both students AND teachers:
I have made:
*two practical skills tests ( a short test and a long test)
These tests address all the module 1 assessment requirements, covering areas such as: Planning, analysis, interpreting data, evaluation.
-
two booklets of ALL spec A and spec B experimental questions
-
other smaller practical skills test packs
-
A ‘practical skills assessed’ hand book which outlines all the requirements for module 1, including a check list for planning an experiment!
-
UPDATE!!* I have uploaded a ‘key skills in biology’ powerpoint, this includes the differences between accuracy, precision, repeatabillity, reproducibility and validity. Also, this includes annotated practical skills questions which will help students practice essential exam skills, plus there are student exemplar answers which have been marked by examiners.
Students are given examples of experimental methods in many of the questions, and are asked on many occasions to identify limitations and improvements - these questions are very common for the new specification!
As head of A-level biology, I have seen a huge improvement in our students’ responses to practical skills questions after assessing them with this test!
Good luck!
