AQA BIOLOGY B2 - ORGANISATION
A 15-lesson bundle covering B2 Organisation chapter of AQA GCSE Biology. This includes a mid chapter assessment and a comprehensive course booklet which covers all lesson content with do-now tasks and exam questions. Each lesson begins with a DO-No task, focusing students’ minds on content they learned in the previous lesson, recent lessons and lessons from a long time ago. There is guided and independent practice and many activities for students to complete. Required practicals for B2 are also included.
The booklet can be given to students at the start of the unit, so you know you have no more printing and preparation for the entire unit!
A level Biology Year 1 Challenge game
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 level biology YEAR 1 AQA knowledge organizer
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. I use these as part of a revision countdown in year 13, but also as retrieval practice as a lesson starter to recap previous learning and embed the key points. Also some blank question sheets which can easily be printed to form a starter or revision tool.
Bundle
A level biology revision pack
Knowledge organisers and self quizzing sheets for the whole course plus a revision game for the end of year 1. I use these resources as starter or homework activities throughout the course, but they are especially useful for revision

PROTEIN SYNTHESIS - TRANSLATION ACTIVITY
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!!
