Writing frame are designed to help students complete long answer exam style questions effectively. This had provided a lot of success with these in the classroom and when tutoring and has given students a lot of confidence when answers such questions in the future. This can also be used as a revision tool, if students practice planning/writing answers using these, this could help them to remember to do so in their exams. This has been used cross-curricula not just in my subject.

This resource is designed to show the differences between the command words: State, describe and explain which many students often find difficult. This could be used before you get your students to complete an exam question containing these command words.
A lesson on the cell cycle following the AQA A Level Biology spec. This lesson contains retrieval practice, retrieving and consolidating knowledge from previous lessons, topics and GCSE Biology. It also contains various resources, plenary and mini-plenaries and exam questions based on the lesson/topic.
Lesson covering cell specialisation and organisation following the AQA A level biology spec. Contains lesson powerpoint, exam questions, lesson resources and various tasks within the lesson powerpoint (some differentiated)
A full lesson on HIV following the A level Biology specification. This lesson recaps the structure of viruses and introduces knowledge on how HIV replicates inside T-helper cells and how it leads into AIDS. This lesson also introduces knowledge on how AIDS is diagnosed and treated, leading into the ELISA tests. The lesson contains exam questions, retrieval practice and other tasks within the lesson to consolidate knowledge.
A complete lesson on B Lymphocytes and Humoral Immunity following the AQA A Level Biology specification. Lesson contains retrieval practice, exam questions and other tasks to support consolidation of this knowledge.
A complete lesson on defence mechanisms from the AQA A Level Biology specification. The lesson contains knowledge on specific and non-specific defence mechanisms including various tasks, to consolidate knowledge. Within the lesson is opportunity of retrieval practice of previous cells topics.
Complete lesson on co-transport from the AQA biology a-level specification. This lesson recaps the topic so far and consolidates knowledge on passive processes (diffusion/osmosis) and active transport. Then leads into co-transport in the ileum. The lesson comes with a range of exam questions, retrieval practice of the AQA biology course so far and chances to formatively assess students throughout the lesson.
A complete lesson on Vaccination from the AQA A level Biology specification. The lesson contains exam questions, retrieval practice from current and previous topics and opportunities for Q&A and other tasks to consolidate learning. The lessons goes into detail about how vaccines are produced and recaps the immune response that happens in the body. It also details the ethical issues surrounding vaccines and recaps antibodies.
A complete lesson on antibodies/monoclonal antibodies (2 hours), following the AQA A level Biology specification. Lesson includes retrieval practice, exam questions and other tasks to aid consolidation of this knowledge.
A lesson on the Osmosis following the AQA A Level Biology spec. This lesson contains retrieval practice, retrieving and consolidating knowledge from previous lessons, topics and GCSE Biology. It also contains various resources, plenary and mini-plenaries and exam questions based on the lesson/topic. Within the lesson powerpoint there are details/method for a required practical on production of a dilution series of a solute to produce a calibration curve with which to identify the water potential of plant tissue.
This lesson contains new A level Biology knowledge about the organelles in eukaryotic cells. There is a retrieval task which recaps previous knowledge of the cells topic so far as well as GCSE Biology (cells). The various tasks, mini plenaries and exam style questions allows students to achieve a deeper understanding about the structures inside eukaryotic cells and new structures that are not introduced at GCSE.
