Revision grids with links for AQA Biology AS and A2 Biology

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.

A booklet and powerpoint I have put together from a few resources along with my own additions. Huge thank you to robertsteaching who did all of the step by step exam questions at the end of the powerpoint and handout which I downloaded from here: https://www.tes.com/member/RobertsTeaching Thank you very much to @mrsjmasters for sharing her booklet with me which is where most of this comes from! And thank you to AQA for all of the brilliant resources and eg. questions on indices, units, standard form, ratio and plotting equations which I got from here: http://www.aqa.org.uk/resources/science/as-and-a-level/teach/maths-skills-briefings Hope it is useful! Updated slightly as I made a typo on a standard form Q and corrected the density Q and the how many DNA nucleotides are there Q.
Revision Clock for Biological Molecules and Digestion AQA iGCSE

Revision Clock for Biological Molecules and Digestion AQA iGCSE

(0)
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.

Blockbusters for defence against disease AQA iGSCE

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.

Key Word Lists for AS and A2 AQA Biology

(52)
Key word lists in full for all topics and then a document for each topic so that pupils can fill in the key terms. Would be good for revision or at the end of a topic or give out at the beginning of a topic and get pupils to fill through as you go through the topic. Please let me know any feedback by tweeting @missjmbooth including if you would improve any definitions! Hope they are of use. I am also in the process of making quizlet quizzes for each topic, so far: Topic 1: https://quizlet.com/193309185/as-aqa-biology-topic-1-flash-cards/ Topic 2: https://quizlet.com/193328323/as-aqa-biology-topic-2-flash-cards/ Topic 3: https://quizlet.com/193344976/as-aqa-biology-topic-3-flash-cards/ Topic 4: https://quizlet.com/193310387/as-aqa-biology-topic-4-flash-cards/ Topic 5: https://quizlet.com/193349817/a2-aqa-biology-topic-5-flash-cards/ Topic 6:https://quizlet.com/193350308/a2-aqa-biology-topic-6-flash-cards/ Topic 7: https://quizlet.com/193373257/a2-aqa-biology-topic-7-flash-cards/ Topic 8: https://quizlet.com/193373345/a2-aqa-biology-topic-8-flash-cards/ Topic 6 & 8 have been updated to correct the numbers down the side!

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.

Hexagon linking sheet for key words and blank hexagons

(6)
An idea I have developed further from @LessonToolbox Use hexagons to encourage pupils to understand how the key words for a topic link together. More information here: https://lessontoolbox.wordpress.com/2016/03/27/buzzing-about-hexagons/ Also includes a blank version of just hexagons that you can get a set laminated so pupils can write key words on them and you can use them for multiple tasks.

3.4.1 and 3.4.2 AQA DNA, genes, chromosomes and Protein Synthesis (and recapping DNA replication)

(11)
Includes presentation covering theory of 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 along with accompanying handout. Also has a key word list for Topic 4 with answers. Also attached a polypeptide storyboard with gaps to fill in as well as a handout of key steps. Contains a modelling activity for protein synthesis as detailed below. Protein synthesis/DNA replication modelling activity (updated now to include a version that does not need straws!) - needs a bit of preparation but really useful for getting pupils to understand the process and if laminated can be reused many times. You need to print the following documents for the model: DNA-STRUCTURE: need printing on A3 then slicing up the middle and a treasury tag putting between the two strands so they can be opened. DNA nucleotides need cutting out individually. RNA-nucleotides need cutting out individually (you might want to do these on different colour paper) Protein-synthesis-model: contains tRNA/amino acids/ribosome - tRNA molecules need to be printed and a bit of sticky back velcro stuck to them and their corresponding amino acid cut out and attached to other side of velcro. Ribosome needs printing on A3. Sellotape/masking tape/blue tac is needed to stick the nucleotides together. DNA replication I normally carry out when I do DNA replication as when you’ve set up the resource you may as well use it again!

MARCKS Analysis and suggestions of ways to improve & BUS Answering exam questions display

This is a sheet designed to be used when you are going through assessments with pupils. I print it 2 sides on one A4 page so fits in their exercise booklet. Makes them reflect on the mistakes that they have made and how they can improve next time. Designed for Biology/Chemistry GCSE and A Level but suggestions powerpoint could be changed to suit any subject. Also a display poster to explain the BUS method for answering questions and the take me down the river method.

AQA A2 Gene Expression Find Someone Who

AQA A2 Gene Expression Find Someone Who

(1)
Activity to revise AQA A2 Gene expression. Find someone who the idea is that question sheets are given out, students move around and get each other to answer the questions. The pupils pair up with each other and take it in turns to explain an answer to each other. As Partner A is explaining, Partner B must write the answer down in the box, then Partner A must check the answer and sign it, then they switch over so Partner A that just explained then writes down an answer to a different question that Partner B is now explaining. They keep moving around and switching answers with different people. Either give a set time frame or continue until one person finishes filling in all the boxes.
Connect Four Template for Revision

Connect Four Template for Revision

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.
