I currently teach IGCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Also A level Biology. The resources I produce for my lessons are carefully planned and I try to involve a lot of self-learning to allow students to develop these important skills needed for further education.

A series of questions focused on the scientific article for the IAL Edexcel exam - unit 5.
There is a teacher answer sheet included.
I have also included a copy of the Scientific Article from Edexcel Unit 5 Exam and definitions for vocabulary.
I have focused on the following topics:
• The nervous system – structure and function of each neurone
• Action potentials and how an impulse is generated
• Synapses
• Structure and function of areas of the brain
• FMRI scans
• The eye
• Brain injuries
• Critical window
• Respiration
• PCR and Gel electrophoresis
• Speciation
This resource helps student´s to focus their revision in the appropriate areas and help develop their exam response.
An overview of the practical students should perform. We find it difficult to do the experiment so it is a theoretical lesson. I have provided students with results and there is a practice exam question.
A series of questions which focus on topics covered in the scientific article to use with question 7
Thursday 13th June 2019
Answer sheet included
Range of topics to include:peptides and protein structure; protein synthesis; neurone and synapse function; cell membrane structure; enzymes; evolution; blood vessels; immune system; blood clotting plus possible core practical questions.
I have included a copy of the article as last year many people had difficulty locating it. It won´t print when open in Google - try another browswer.
19 pages of questions - perfect for revision lessons or homework.
Focused questions for the article in June 2023 (unit 5).
There are over 7 pages of questions which includes a mark scheme.
Topic questions include:
Bacterial growth
Coordination of the nervous system
Control of heart rate
Protein synthesis and transport
Transciption factors
Immune Response
Inflammation
Brain function and scans
Epigenetic Factors
Microarray, PCR and Gel electrophoresis
The questions help support revision of many topics found throughout the A level course.
I have used my own resources and a few slides from other Tes members (thank you!) to put together a PPT which recalls the equation for momentum and then looks at how to calculate force using the change of momentum and time.
There are also exam questions included for extra practice!
A PPT with information regarding the 2 types of fibres. Students collect information about the fibres from around the room (included in PPT) and complete a table stating the differences. They can then use their knowledge to predict the types of fibres found in different animal muscles. There is an exam question and mark scheme to determine understanding of subject material.
I have included the lesson plan I provided when I was observed so feel free to tweak it to suit your group.
Students investigate Hooke´s Law with a simple practical. They use text books and their results to form their own conclusion as to what Hooke´s Law is.
Acceleration PPT recaps over the speed and velocity covered in previous lesson. There are worksheets with questions on with varying ability of challenge.
Graphing speed introduces the idea of how different graphs can be used to calculate distance, speed and velocity.
I have used other people´s resources found online - Matrix car chase and calculation worksheets.
I use this as a formative assessment in lessons but it can be used for homework. It helps check understanding of the topic and can be used as a revision tool.
A peer assessment sheet is also included but can be used as a self assessment task.
A series of questions with the answers and a vocabulary sheet to support students prepare for the question 7 in Unit 5.
The questions cover a series of topics to include blood; the heart and cardiac cycle; the nervous system; muscles and joints; vaccinations; pathogens; protein synthesis; CHD plus more.
I have downloaded and included the Edexcel article as my students had difficulty obtaining it.
A level lesson focusing on the following objectives:
Understand that changes in allele frequency come about as a result of mutation and natural selection
Understand how the Hardy-Weinberg equation can be used to see whether a change in allele frequency is occurring in a population over time
I have included many tasks which can be performed individually or in pairs.
Students have 2 exam style questions to attempt using the Hardy Weinberg equation
A power point lesson which guides students through data in the form of carbon dioxide levels; global temperature; rising sea levels and glacial melting.
Students gain practice in data analysis which is vital in this module. There are also a series of exam questions with answers to support their understanding.
This lesson links with Edexcel IAL Unit 4
Edexcel Spec Link - 6.16 and 6.20
Three lessons which focus on the forensic science element of the topic.
The first lesson looks at the role of microorganisms in decomposition. This is a recap session, looking at the carbon cycle.
Lesson 2 introduces the idea of using body temperature and rigor mortis to determine time of death.
lesson 3 finishes the topic looking at the role of bacteria and insects in decomposition. This links to succession which had been studied previously.
There are many different student activities including questions and answers on the topic.
IAL Edexcel Topic 8A
Included in this chapter:
The structure and function of the mammalian nervous system
Nervous transmission
Resting and action potential
Myelinated neurones and saltatory conduction
Synapses
Effects of drugs on synapse
The detection of light
Habituation
Included in this selection of powerpoints are videos, exam questions plus tasks throughout the lesson to generate discussion and independent learning.
A useful revision tool for students preparing for the Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry exam Summer 2022.
The 14 paged booklet includes the specification points for students to plan their revision plus details of core practicals they could be tested on.
There are also a large range of revision questions to test student knowledge.
Great for class revision or homework.
Supports students with revision on specific topics.
2 A3 PDF worsheets which a range of exam questions covering the topics in the unit Energy, Environment, Microbiology and Immunity.
There are many variations of how students could be examined on topics from unit 4. Students can produce model answers in preparation for the exam.
I have provided questions on the following topic areas:
Photosynthesis - light dependent reaction; Light independent reaction; assimilation of products from photosynthesis; Chloroplast structure; Ecology; decomposition; forensic science; DNA profiling and electrophoresis; succession; aseptic technique; climate change; speciation and evolution; structure of bacteria and viruses; immune response; immunity and vaccination; carbon cycle.
Perfect for Retrieval Practice in preparation for the exams.
My students wrote a model answer for each question on flash cards
