This resource covers each topic on the specification.
It cannot cover every single question students may be asked. However, it will cover the basics of the following topics.
The questions are exam question focused / summary tasks.
Homeostasis and response
Inheritance, variation and evolution
Ecology
A quiz to revise the required practicals in Biology paper 1
Includes: 40 multiple questions in a fully hyper-linked quiz format
Microscopy practical
Osmosis practical
Enzyme activity practical
Food tests practical
Limiting factors of photosynthesis practical
Other practicals - transpiration
It also includes variables and maths skills required
Happy revising! Enjoy!
This is an exam style question I have written myself
It is ideal for use with for pre GCSE revision
Quite often our students cannot apply concepts out of normal context and the more practice they can get the better
This question covers
respiration
surface area
adaptations for survival
VCSRG (Natural selection)
Please give feedback so I know if I shoudl continue to keep making these.
Constructive feedback welcome for mark scheme answers
Spec included:
Explain the role of the specific immune system of the human body in defence against disease [5.13]
exposure to pathogen
the antigens trigger an immune response which causes the production of antibodies
the antigens also trigger production of memory lymphocytes
the role of memory lymphocytes in the secondary response to the antigen
Explain the body’s response to immunisation using an inactive form of a pathogen [5.14]
