A-level Core Biology Revision Quiz
We use this as a christmas revision quiz before Jan A-level trials.
Fun, competitive and a stress buster. Obviously needs reward for 1st completed etc.
0 = WPOPW (Water potential of pure water)
3 = BIAC (OA)
6 = CAIG
etc.

26 Biology Revision Question Sheets (AQA 9-1 GCSE Combined Science)
A complete set of 26 question sheets to cover all of the Biology units of the AQA 9-1 GCSE Combined Science syllabus. The questions are deliberately straightforward, to encourage students to revise and then to test their recall. They are useful across the ability range and would work well using a VLE.
Each sheet is single-sided and has between about 25 and 35 marks
Every sheet has an accompanying answer sheet with the same format as the question sheet for use on a projector for peer/self marking.

5 Biology Glossaries and 12 Crosswords (AQA 9-1 GCSE Combined Science Paper 1)
5 Glossaries and 12 crosswords to cover all of the Biology units of the AQA 9-1 GCSE Combined Science Paper 1 syllabus.
Cell Biology (3 cwd)
Organisation (Digestion) (2 cwd)
Organisation (Transport & Non-com Disease) (3 cwd)
Infection and Response (2 cwd)
Bioenergetics (2 cwd)
The crosswords are based directly on the glossary to encourage students to revise and then to test their recall. They are useful across the ability range. I tend to give neighbouring students different versions to discourage copying. They are roughly the same difficulty and could be used competitively.
Each crossword has about 20 words and an accompanying answer key with the same format as the original crossword for use on a projector for peer/self marking.
Biological Molecules - Carb/Lipid Recall Tests
Five sheets of straightforward revision questions. Written to provide simple recall test of what students have learned and need to learn (to reassure them as much as anything).

Doesn’t say ‘test’ on it so that it can be used for consolidation within the lesson.
(The second carbohydrate sheet deliberately repeats some of the first sheet because I found that students needed a second go once they were more aware of what was required following the first one!)

Action potential slider activity (A-level)
Students attach labels in the right place on a template. The template is lifted up behind a diagram of the action potential. One at a time, each stage of the action potential is revealed in windows. It is worth showing students a completed slider (from a distance!) so that they can see what they are aiming for. Craft knives or scalpels best for cutting out the boxes. Answer sheet included. Written to support A-level.
(Big font labels for labelling the diagram; Small font labels are for the voltage gated channel table)
Key words
Action potential, Neurones, Nerves
Menstrual cycle (2 powerpoints, two worksheets, card sort) Post 16
Animated, interactive powerpoint which guides students through the hormonal control of the human menstrual cycle. It is extensively hyperlinked so that you can choose which bits to show. The two double sided worksheets (+answer sheets) use a variety of cloze / colouring / short answer questions. The card sort is differentiated (+answers). The reproductive organs powerpoint is “click to label”. Aimed at aged 16-18 students.

14 Biological Molecules Recall Tests
A complete set of 14 single-sided question sheets to cover all of the Biological Molecules section of the AQA A-level Biology specification. The questions are deliberately straightforward, to encourage students to revise and then to test their recall. They are useful across the ability range and would work well using a VLE. They don’t say ‘test’ on them and could be used as consolidation during a lesson.
(I started with the carbohydrate one which is why the second one has a bit of a recap of the first. Students needed a bit of a second chance once they realised what was required)
Each sheet is single-sided and has between about 22 and 30 marks
Every sheet has an accompanying answer sheet with the same format as the question sheet for use on a projector for peer/self marking.
Bundle

Resistance worksheet (Foundation)
A very basic worksheet on resistance. Made because my group struggled with worksheets that packed a lot in!
It concentrates on V = IR but checks that they remember voltage and current in a parallel circuit. It covers ‘the triangle’, units and uses the term ‘potential difference’.
Sexual and Asexual Reproduction Comparison (GCSE)
A double sided GCSE worksheet with answer sheet. Pros and cons of sexual/asexual reproduction.
Recall, Cloze, Free response, short answers.
Strawberries, potatoes, mice, amoebae and gardeners.

A fully illustrated, hyperlinked, animated powerpoint presentation (21 slides) introduces the Hardy-Weinberg principle. Includes assumptions, derivation and three examples: Banded snail, Rhesus and Kuru (a prion disease caused by cannibalism in New Guinea). The word document includes 3 double-sided worksheets and full answer sheets. They were written to accompany the powerpoint. Aimed at A-level students.
GCSE Circulation test (/20 easy to mark)
A 20 mark test on circulation for more able students. Straightforward and easy to mark. First image is from from ‘Biodidac’ - so it must remain a free resource. Answer sheet provided.
