This one-hour challenge game is a great way to finish off year 1 of the A level biology course, or to be used as a revision resource. There are 8 challenges, including mathematical quizzes, based on the first year of AQA A level biology. Students complete against each other to complete all 8 challenges, with the final challenge answer being the clue to where the prize is hidden. My classes love this activity - I have laminated resources so I can use them every year.

A complete knowledge organiser for year 12 A level Biology AQA course. Arranged as a series of questions which students can use in their own independent study and self quizzing.

Also some blank question sheets which can easily be printed to form a starter or revision tool.

A one lesson powerpoint covering AQA GCSE Biology specification and the required FOOD TESTS practical. Activities and exam questions included, with guided and independent practice. There is a “DO-NOW” starter slide with questions and tasks from last lesson/recent/distant lessons This powerpoint is part of a B2 bundle which also includes mid-chapter and end-of-chapter assessments, careers information relating to lesson content and a course booklet which students can complete as they go, with notes from the powerpoints, activities and all exam questions, so reducing both workload and printing per lesson.

A five-lesson unit covering the following sections of AQA GCSE chemistry: ELECTROLYSIS OF MOLTEN COMPOUNDS EXTRACTION OF METALS BY ELECTROLYSIS ELECTROLYSIS OF AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS ELECTROLYSIS OF BRINE HALF EQUATIONS (HT) Each lesson starts with a retrieval practice starter from recent and less recent learning, but linked to future learning. Notes and clear explanations of the process of electrolysis, with guided examples and then plenty of opportunities for independent practice. Includes theory needed for the required practical. The accompanying 17 page booklet is complete with key notes, diagrams, gap fill exercises, spaces for own notes and exam questions. This will reduce copying time for students, allowing them to focus on the job at hand, learning the new tricky concept of electrolysis!

A 3- lesson unit of work covering the NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASE section of B3 chapter “Health and Disease”. This unit includes: non-communicable disease cancer alcohol smoking diet and exericise As with all my lessons in this unit, there are “do now” starter slides at the start of each lesson, focusing students’ recall of recent, less recent and more distant learning. This lesson is part of a bundle, which also includes the student booklet for the chapter - this includes all do-now tasks, class notes and activities with exam questions, mid and end of chapter assessments, which then reduces planning and printing for the entire chapter.

TWO ONE-HOUR COMPLETE LESSONS FOR AQA GCSE B1 BIOLOGY COVERING SPECIALISED PLANT AND ANIMAL CELLS. All my lessons have starters based on prior learning and recall of key words. There are activities with accompanying worksheets, with exam questions and plenty of guided and independent practice.

A complete unit of work covering chapter 2 from AQA GCSE chemistry spec. 8 one-hour lessons: C2.1 STATES OF MATTER C2.2 IONIC BONDING C2.3 IONIC STRUCTURES C2.4 COVALENT BONDING C2.5 SIMPLE COVALENT MOLECULES AND POLYMERS C2.6 DIAMOND AND GRAPHITE C2.7 GRAPHENE AND FULLERENES AND NANOSCIENCE C2.8 METALLIC BONDING Each lesson begins with a retrieval practice starter and includes notes, guided practice and plenty of opportunities for independent practice including exam questions with answers. Accompanying 45 page booklet includes key notes from the powerpoint presentations, with gap fill exercises, the “do-now” starters, guided and independent practice and the exam questions. The word doc of the booklet can be used as individual worksheets, or print the whole booklet out so students have a complete unit of work for revision purposes.

A 5- lesson unit of work covering the DEFENCE AGAINST DISEASE section of B3 chapter “Health and Disease”. This unit includes: antibiotics and antiseptics plant and animal defences immunity and vaccination monoclonal antibodies discovery of drugs As with all my lessons in this unit, there are “do now” starter slides at the start of each lesson, focusing students’ recall of recent, less recent and more distant learning. This lesson is part of a bundle, which also includes the student booklet for the chapter - this includes all do-now tasks, class notes and activities with exam questions, mid and end of chapter assessments, which then reduces planning and printing for the entire chapter.

A 7 lesson unit covering the following points of the OCR A level biology syllabus: 5.3 Resting and action potentials Transmission of nerve impulses Synapses 5.5 Receptors and the Mammalian nervous system The brain Reflex actions Muscle structure Muscle contraction This unit comes with a workbook for students to complete as they go through the course and includes diagrams, exercises, retrieval practice questions and exam questions.

A series of five one-hour lessons covering the Biological molecules chapter of AQA A level biology. This includes presentations on lipids, bonding, carbohydrates and proteins and flash cards for students to cut out and keep for their own self quizzing. Exam questions with model answers included in presentations.

Complete knowledge organiser for year 2 of AQA A level Biology. Arranged by topic, one side has a simple recall question, the other side has the answer. Answers have been linked to AQA exam question mark-schemes, so you know that students are practicing key terminology needed. I use these as homework tasks and starters. The blank sheets can be used to fill in at the start of lessons, or students can self quiz by covering the answer and then checking.

Although a bit of a pfaff cutting things out, this resource can be laminated for future use. I've found this invaluable for demonstrating how mRNA is translated into a protein. Students can make the link between tRNA antocodons being specific for the amino acid they carry, and the process of translation at the ribosome. I asked one class to do this as a stop-frame animation, resulting in a lovely film they could keep to remember the process. Best printed A3 and then laminated unless you LOVE cutting teeny things out. I've uploaded a film made by one of my students so you can see how it will look. Enjoy!!
