I am relatively new to selling resources on TES, so if you like something, please review it! I am constantly updating and developing new resources - I like to concentrate the majority of my time on developing scientific skills through the use of practical work and application - conveniently this sits well with the new GCSE. I also am involved in developing schemes for the new GCSE (at my school) so will post anything I can to help others in this area.

Worksheets looking at the inheritance of CF and H disorder, a common example of inherited disorders in lots of exam specifications.
Includes punnet square and choices that couples have to make.
Differentiated silver and gold.
Activity looking at unicellular organisms, mainly amoeba and euglena. The ways they reproduce, similarities and differences.
Differentiated in to bronze, silver and gold.
Higher level activity looking at the stages of evolution for Darwin's finches.
These are diagnostic activities looking at the misconceptions around evolution and justification of why incorrect statements are incorrect.
Differentiated in to scaffolded and none scaffolded.
This is a unit (4 lessons) for filling the AQA required practical although can be easily used for other specifications. The method used are the recommended practical methods published by AQA. There was a mistake with the equation in the given methods which has been confirmed by AQA so this unit is correct but does differ slightly from the published material. The lessons are as follows:
1) Label and compare plant and animal cells
2) Prepare and onion slide and calculate the size of one cell
3 ) Compare prokaryotic and eukaryotes
4) Calculate magnification of specimens
This has been designed as part of a year 9 scheme of work which have been fully undated to cover the new AQA specification, change in assessment objective weightings and mathematical requirements.
This is a free upload and is a sample of my other units.

Resources developed as part of a *BIG PRACTICAL*. These are designed to practice a skill - usually using a preliminary investigation - then a full investigation write up. These are tailored toward the way the new GCSE (2016 on wards) is designed to test practical skills as well as context.
First lesson
Resources: aseptic techniques practice, pupils-account-of-aseptic-techniques (+ppt)
Practical: Pupils culture a known bacterial both using aseptic techniques, with an aim of achieving zero contamination.
Activities order: Teacher intro, practical write up using frame and practical, KILLER CHALLENGE correcting a poor aseptic method
Second lesson
Resources: Testing antibiotics (+ppt)
Practical: Pupils complete the same method of culturing known bacterial broths using aseptic techniques but add antibiotic disks.
Activity order: Look at plates from previous lesson and look if they have been successful and what they need to improve. Practical and write up.
Third lesson
Resources: Antibiotic plate sheet, Diameter-zone-of-inhibition (+ppt)
Activity order: Look at antibiotic plates, Complete sheet looking at antibiotics and comparing zones of inhibition, calculating zones of inhibition for comparison.
Activity looking at inheritance from both parents and it's random nature.
Pupils build marshmallow animals called REBOPS - developed from another resource, this is for a KS4 lessons.
Perfect really for year 9/10 low to mid sets.
Instructions for building the parents are on the ppt
Pupils build offspring of the parents using a dice to chose the genes that are inherited.
Sheet differentiated silver and gold and killer challenge cards.
A test split into triple and combined with a mark scheme covering the basic information and questions encountered in the new curriculum. These will be available for different topics and in bundles.
Enjoy and please review :)
