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!!

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.

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.
