Every year we have students that have gone above and beyond within our classes however, they aren’t always acknowledged in reward assemblies because of the large pool of students they are competing against. Most of the certificate templates I found online were either over complicated, childish or both. Students in secondary school wish to be treated as young adults hence, I have created a sophisticated certificate, one that students would be proud to take home. Reward the students in your biology classes for their achievement and effort using these certificates, download for free and edit away! If you like this certificate but don’t teach biology, edit away! P.S I have attached PDF and Word doc versions, I recommend you print your certificates as PDF.

Sometimes our higher ability pupils slip through the net because we are focusing our efforts on helping our students who on the verge, to succeed. I have done a lot of extra work this year to really challenge my most able students, funnily enough this has created a drive within the laziest pupils in my class. The resource i’ve attached is a review paper on Polydactyly, I shared this with my whole class even though It was to target my most highest achievers and encouraged them to all read the article as homework. Scientific reviews/articles expose students to scientific knowledge that goes above and beyond the requirements of the specification, it helps students develop an interest and love for science which then leads to better interaction in lessons.

Cell division in sexual reproduction, otherwise known as meiosis lesson created in accordance to the NEW AQA Specification (9-1). Designed for a separates class, although content can be adjusted to suit any ability. Includes: slide animations, embedded timers, practice questions with answers on slides, quiz and 6 mark past paper question with ms. *Knowledge of the stages of meiosis is not required.* AQA spec link: 6.1.1 Relevant chapter: B13 Genetics and reproduction. AQA Biology third edition textbook-Page 198-199. Specification requires students to know the following; 6.1.2 Students should be able to explain how meiosis halves the number of chromosomes in gametes and fertilisation restores the full number of chromosomes. Cells in reproductive organs divide by meiosis to form gametes. When a cell divides to form gametes: • copies of the genetic information are made • the cell divides twice to form four gametes, each with a single set of chromosomes • all gametes are genetically different from each other. Gametes join at fertilisation to restore the normal number of chromosomes. The new cell divides by mitosis. The number of cells increases. As the embryo develops cells differentiate.
