Suitable for KS3 and KS4 geography The resource is provided with two levels of differentiated support and also includes teacher's notes.

The attached file contains results of an imaginary genetic experiment with a newly discovered species. These results provide genetic recombination evidence which will be used to determine which of four genes are found on the same chromosome (linked genes). Pupils can be asked to perform a chi-squared analysis on the results. G&T pupils can also use the recombination evidence to map the observed genes on the species two chromosomes. A mark-scheme including working of the chi-squared analysis is provided. The activity may also be suitable for G&T GCSE/IGCSE pupils following the separate science (triple award) route.

Good to use as a starter, plenary, homework or revision activity. This resource contains three separate crossword puzzles covering: DNA Structure & Replication Protein Synthesis Mutations ANSWERS are also included in a separate file. Each file includes two copies of the blank crossword, such that when printed the crossword will take up the size of one A5 piece of paper. A bundle containing these and other crosswords related to Genetics & Evolution is also available here https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/crosswords-for-a-level-biology-genetics-and-evolution-12056640 The bundle contains 8 crosswords covering the concepts Nucleic Acids & Protein Synthesis (3 crosswords) Inherited Change (3 crosswords) Selection & Evolution (2 crosswords)

This open ended assessment task is designed for use towards the end of a unit on Economic Development in KS3 geography. However it may also be suitable for KS4 geography classes, either as an assessment of prior learning or an AfL task toward the end of a unit. Pupils are asked to demonstrate their knowledge of the demographic transition model and development indicators. A 'progression' ladder based on Bloom's taxonomy is included to assist both pupils and teachers with assessing the task.

The resource includes a pupil worksheet and accompanying teacher notes (including calculations) for pupils to practice using the student’s t-test. The worksheet includes a scenario in which the t-test is used to determine significant differences between populations of foxes living in different habitats. The t-test is used in the context of natural selection, and pupils are asked to describe directional selection pressures which could lead to the observed differences.

Based on the 2015 national curriculum framework for KS3, this pack of crosswords is designed for use with Year 9, but can be used with other KS3 year groups depending on your school curriculum.

The pack contains: Plants, Farming & Environment Plants & Photosynthesis Inheritance & Selection Muscles & Skeleton Drugs & Health Other crossword packs for Year 7 & 8, chemistry & physics will be available soon.

This resource is designed for A-level Biology students. It includes review of the basic concepts and practice exam style questions on the topic. Other knowledge of genetics and populations may be required for some questions. The student sheet is provided in 2 versions, with and without space for writing the answers. An optional extension activity involving the chi-squared test is also included. All answers are provided in the teacher version.
