A3 document designed to be printed on A3 and laminated then arranged on a big piece of card like the image. Makes a good visual display that pupils can refer to when answering questions. Also a handout that could be laminated and handed out whenever attempting past paper questions or could be stuck into pupils books.

Made for iGCSE AQA Biology but I imagine most principles will apply to other specifications. The topics covered are: 1) Cell Structure 2) Movement between cells 3) Immunity 4) Circulation 5) Human Impact The idea is based on the old gameshow: They are 5 different sheets of questions and pupils compete in groups of 4 (I normally pick the groups so they are differentiated - more able pupils helping less able). I print each set on a different colour paper (so I can easily keep track of where each group is and see if I need to give extra help). Each set of questions is placed on the teacher’s table at the front of the classroom. Make textbooks available if needed. A nominated runner from each group fetches the first question sheet only, the group decide on their answers and write it down under the questions then the runner brings it to you to be marked. If their answers are correct then they take the next question back to group, if not return to group and try again. Use a different runner each time. The first team to complete all of the answers wins. I usually then go through the answers all together at the end. It is also good because it gets them used to answering questions under time limited conditions. Also now added a double award AQA iGCSE version: 1) Cell Structure 2) Movement between cells 3) Immunity 4) Digestion and Biological molecules 5) Breathing and respiration

Pupils take it in turns to put coloured counters in the frame with the aim of getting four counters in a row. Pupils compete to win connect four in pairs. Each circle corresponds to a question card. If they get the question right then they can place their counter there. If they get their question wrong then either that circle becomes unavailable (and they have to get four in a row in some other way) or the other person to the person that wants to place their counter there has to make up a question for that person to get right to enable them to put their counter in that circle. I have produced some example cards for: AQA A2 Gene Technology (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/aqa-a2-biology-gene-technology-revision-cards-for-connect-four-11251689) AQA iGCSE biological molecules, digestion and enzymes, breathing and respiration, photosynthesis, environmental change (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/aqa-igcse-biology-cards-revision-for-connect-four-biological-molecules-digestion-enzymes-and-more-11251694) AQA iGCSE Chemistry Crude oil and fuels, other products from crude oil and alcohols, carboxylic acids and esters. (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/aqa-igcse-chemistry-connect-four-revision-card-qs-crude-oil-and-fuels-products-from-crude-oil-and-organic-11251696)

Venn diagram which contains statements for pupils to classify about DNA, RNA and ATP Also contains an answer sheet. To differentiate include some of the diagrams/statements already there for pupils. Or don’t give them the statements all together.

A handout for pupils covering key things to think about when attempting the AQA Essay along with a powerpoint to go through the key parts in lessons. From AQA Past Paper Questions and the guidance on their website - added a few more as I realised some of the mark schemes has disappeared for some reason! NB. Updated essay tips documents as marking criteria provided by AQA has changed!!

Split into a section for a title, an overview and two other separate sections that could either be added before distributing or allowing pupils to figure out how to split up the information. A section for aims (i.e. learning objectives e.g. describe a process), key terms and definitions. See also - so other topics it links to and categories down the bottom to decide the sections the topic it fits into. Between none and all of the sections could be pre or partly filled into differentiate to different extents.

Idea from becca40 - thank you!! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/blockbusters-revision-starter-plenary-pairs-activity-periodic-table-11527836 Instructions below also from her guidance: Based on the TV show Blockbusters. Learners should play in pairs. One of the pair should try to make a chain from top to bottom, the other should try to make a chain from side to side. Each block contains a letter or letters which is a key word or phrase from the topic. Statements to go with each of the letters are to be found on the right hand side of the sheet. Learners should colour the block (and could write the answer in) when they get the answer right. First in the pair to make the chain wins.

Idea from teachgeogblog: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/revision-clock-11141536 Guidance from teachgeogblog also below: A way of revising which can break a topic down into 12 sub-categories. Ask a student to make notes in each chunk of the clock. Revise each slot for 5 minutes, turn the clock over and ask the student to recite back to you certain sections of the clock. 'e.g. what was in section 2-3'. Works well with GCSE students.

CPAC display - designed to be printed on A3 paper, cut out into the different sections and then displayed. The option to have a question or statement about what is required for each CPAC statement as well as some guidance about some of the CPACs e.g. variables/ results tables. Or alternatively can be made into a flip book to have around the lab whilst carrying out practical work. Also an A3 display with all of the question command words

different examples of stabilising, directional and disruptive selection and the answers

Revision sheets for AQA A2 Biology. Sections 4.1-4.7 are thanks to shooppoop. I have just added section 4.8 on as well. If you have switched to the new AQA Biology A Level please check out the revision sheets that I have made for the new specification for the AS Level too: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/aqa-biology-new-as-specification-revision-diagrams-for-topic-1-2-3-and-4-and-required-practicals-11244072

Designed to be emailed to pupils or put on to an online portal where they can click on the links to revise topics they are unsure of. Please comment if you find any links which are better than any of these or have any extras to add! The pages and colours are linked to how my school teaches the specification so each teacher is on one page and has either red and orange fill or blue and green fill but this can be edited to suit you.

These are the cards for AQA A2 Gene Technology to go with the connect four template (which is free to download: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/connect-four-template-for-revision-11251685). They need to be printed double sided so each card has a number on the back. Pupils take it in turns to put coloured counters in the frame with the aim of getting four counters in a row. Pupils compete to win connect four in pairs. Each circle corresponds to a question card. If they get the question right then they can place their counter there. If they get their question wrong then either that circle becomes unavailable (and they have to get four in a row in some other way) or the other person to the person that wants to place their counter there has to make up a question for that person to get right to enable them to put their counter in that circle.

Worksheets as an extension at GCSE or recap at A Level/ activity at A Level. Filled in boxes and blank boxes to fill in versions. Nice diagrams to summarise the process of mitosis and meiosis (Also as a PDF in case the formatting messes up when downloaded as a word document).

These are what I have put together for Year 7 lessons next year. I haven’t used them yet so they will probably need tweaking! Topics include: Life processes Cell structure Variation Classification Micro-organisms Plant reproduction Human reproduction Ecology Thank you to Mrs Masters @mrsjmasters who provided me with her templates (some of the cell structure one includes parts from her booklet!) She has written an interesting article on how she uses booklets here: https://pedagoggles.wordpress.com/2019/02/08/teaching-with-booklets/ I have removed our school marking guidance and lab rules so you would need to put your school guidelines in these places. Updated to include clearer marking guidance and quizlet QR codes.
