A complete lesson about plant and animal cells for AQA B1. Powerpoint Presentation with a series of activities and resources to print.

Whole lesson about binary fission using the learning loop approach. Created for AQA GCSE Biology, but could be adapted. Feel free to feedback if you use this resource :)

Get hands on with science at home! Make your own skittle rainbow using resources you most likely already have at home, or you can easily purchase from a supermarket. A fun activity that most primary and secondary students can engage with (ideally suited to KS2/KS3). Includes a list of resources, easy to follow method, scientific description of how it works, things to think about and questions to answer. Please comment if you have any questions or feedback.

A science placemat to print in A3 and laminate. Stick a few down on tables or around the edge of the room so pupils can use them as a self-help resource. Includes naming common equipment, units, drawing graphs, designing experiment and other core skills for science at KS3/4. Placemat is in Word format so feel free to edit it in any way you wish to suit your classes needs. NOTE: check format before printing- format may be skewed if opening in different versions of word so check before printing, you may have to rearrange things slightly.

Created as a whole class activity for Biology Week (2018 but could easily be adapted). Students make giant organelles and assemble them into a giant cell. Very open activity, created for a nurture/SEN year 8 class but could be adapted for any KS3 science.

A collection of extracurricular competitions, books and events for A-level biology students. These opportunities could all be used to enhance students UCAS personal statements and explore their passion for biology outside of the classroom. Available as a powerpoint and pdf to share with students. Feel free to comment anything you think should be added!

Worksheet for teaching planning experiments in Biology at A level and GCSE, designed to use with AQA.

PowerPoint introducing monomers and polymers for AQA A Level Biology Unit 1 - Biological Molecules

Created for a low-attaining year 7 class but could be used across KS2-3. This resource is a whole lesson, consisting of a worksheet and accompanying powerpoint presentation. There are 8 tasks designed to help pupils develop their understanding of the anatomy of flowering plants, including labelling diagrams, filling in the blanks, a hands on flower dissection, creative task and plenary questions. To deliver this lesson you will need to provide flowers such as lillies or daffodils and print the worksheet.

This lesson is designed to follow a lesson on the homeostatic control of blood glucose concentration. The lesson explores type I and type II diabetes for AQA A level biology. Exam Qs are included but one worksheet referenced is on Kerboodle so cannot be shared. The end of the lesson introduces RP11. Specification points: The causes of types I and II diabetes and their control by insulin and/or manipulation of the diet. Students should be able to evaluate the positions of health advisers and the food industry in relation to the increased incidence of type II diabetes. Required practical 11: Production of a dilution series of a glucose solution and use of colorimetric techniques to produce a calibration curve with which to identify the concentration of glucose in an unknown ‘urine’ sample.
