Self-assessment maths and statistics skills booklet aimed at helping those students who do not do A-level Maths/Chemistry/Physics and lack confidence with the maths requirement. Full mark scheme included (full solutions, not just the final answer). Contains 63 marks worth of questions involving: percentage change graph drawing dilution calculations ratios uncertainties logarithms bacterial division calculations standard form magnification rate of reaction unit conversions significant figures chi-squared Student’s t-test Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient Index of diversity Relevant for all exam boards with the exception of the index of diversity question, which uses the AQA/Edexcel equation as opposed to the slightly different equation used for OCR.

Epigenetics A-level summary worksheet covering the epigenetic mechanisms of methylation and acetylation. Suitable for any exam board which covers the epigenetics topic. Includes differentiated versions - one scaffolded ‘fill in the word’ style worksheet for less confident students and a less scaffolded version for more confident students. Also includes an answer sheet (which could be used as a handout). Designed for colour to be added by each individual student, to aid the formation of visual memories. Useful as a revision or homework exercise to check understanding. Completed worksheets can then form part of the student’s revision notes. Similar style worksheets available for: Respiration Photosynthesis Protein synthesis Tissue fluid Inheritance

Serial dilution / dilution series calculation worksheet for A-level Biology. Part of a growing bundle of worksheets aimed at improving maths skill confidence for A-level Biologists. 21 marks of AS/A2 exam style serial dilution / dilution series questions. Full mark scheme and serial dilution explanation/method with worked example included. Of particular relevance to AQA required practicals 3 and 6. However, the questions are not exam board specific and would be useful to any practical involving serial dilutions. Percentage change and Hardy-Weinberg calculation worksheets also available.

UPDATED with coloured diagrams on answer sheets. Visually appealing worksheets covering the inheritance topic of A-level Biology. Designed with the AQA exam board in mind (incomplete dominance is not relevant to AQA, but has been included to allow teachers of other exam boards to use this resource - codominance and incomplete dominance are not the same thing!). Includes 7 worksheets covering: Multiple alleles Codominant alleles Incomplete dominance Dihybrid crosses Sex linkage Autosomal linkage Dominant and recessive epistasis Due the complexity of this topic, I find these worksheets are useful to introduce each type of inheritance, before moving onto exam-style questions. Also useful as a revision / homework exercise. All worksheets are black and white to allow students to add colour to the diagrams, a process which is thought to aid the formation of visual memories. Full answer sheets are included. Similar worksheets are available for: Cell structure Immune response Protein Synthesis Tissue fluid formation Carbon dioxide transport Respiration Photosynthesis Energy transfers Nutrient Cycles Receptors Nerve Impulses The Kidney Succession Epigenetics In vivo and in vitro cloning

UPDATE June 3rd 2024: Typo on potometer sheet now corrected. OCR Required practical revision notes/sheets covering the 12 PAGS required for A-level Biology. Please note, not all possible variations for each PAG are included, please see below for exactly which specific practicals are included. Despite being worth 15% of the marks, so many students don’t allocate specific revision time to the required practicals. I designed these sheets for my own students to encourage specific revision of the practicals and have seen a great improvement in practical knowledge and the ability to answer practical-based questions. Each sheet includes key information, an example method (where relevant) and most importantly, exam-style questions and model answers. The model answers for the exam-style questions have been written based on previous mark schemes, but I cannot guarantee that future mark schemes will be exactly the same. The model answers are for guidance only. Students should be encouraged to use these sheets as a starting point and update/annotate with any further information as needed. Includes: PAG 1: microscopy - root tip squash PAG 2: dissection (general practical skills/questions relevant to any dissection) PAG 3: sampling techniques PAG 4: rates of enzyme-controlled reactions (covers general questions on e.g. initial rate of reaction, DOES NOT cover specific enzyme practicals due to there being so many different variations). PAG 5: 3 different practical sheets included (factors affecting membrane permeability, determining glucose concentration & potometers). PAG 6: 2 different sheets included (electrophoresis & using chromatography to investigate plant pigments [paper chromatography method, not TLC]. PAG 7: Microbial techniques, 2 different sheets included (effect of antibiotics on bacterial growth & dilution plating to determine microbial density) PAG 8: Calibration curve to investigate water potential PAG 9: Qualitative tests for biological molecules PAG 10: Data logger & computer modeling (methods not included for this PAG, just key points from previous mark schemes). PAG 11: two sheets included (effect of exercise on heart rate & heart rate changes in Daphnia). PAG 12: research skills (rate of respiration example used - also includes common questions on respirometers).

These worksheets cover primary and secondary succession. Also included is a page showing the diagrams used in the worksheets in colour . To accommodate all exam boards, one version of one of the worksheets includes the terms ‘deflected succession’ and ‘plagioclimax’, the other version does not. Full answer sheets are included, which could alternatively be used as handouts/revision sheets. My students love completing these visually appealing worksheets, which break topics down into manageable chunks. Useful as a revision exercise or as a quick assessment. All worksheets are black and white to allow students to add colour to the diagrams, a process which is thought to aid the formation of visual memories. Similar worksheets available on: Cell structure Immune response Carbon dioxide transport Tissue fluid formation Protein synthesis Photosynthesis Respiration Nutrient Cycles Energy transfers Protein synthesis Epigenetics Inheritance The kidney Receptors Nerve Impulses In vivo and in vitro cloning If you find these worksheets useful I would really appreciate a positive review. Equally, any constructive feedback would be gratefully received and changes can be made accordingly!

AQA GCSE required practical revision notes/sheets covering the 6 Biology Paper 1 required practicals (for triple science). Despite being worth 15% of the marks, so many students don’t allocate specific revision time to the required practicals. I designed these sheets for my own students to encourage specific revision of the practicals and have seen a great improvement in practical knowledge and the ability to answer practical-based questions. Each sheet includes an example method and most importantly, exam-style questions and model answers. The model answers for the exam-style questions have been written based on previous mark schemes, but I cannot guarantee that future mark schemes will be exactly the same. The model answers are for guidance only. Students should be encouraged to use these sheets as a starting point and update/annotate them with any further information as needed.

UPDATED with new fonts and new fully completed versions that can be used as handouts. These worksheets are included in the AQA Section 5 Worksheet Bundle.

Detailed worksheet covering (virtually all) possible autosomal linkage exam questions. Could be used as homework or as an assessment (due to the low number of past exam questions on this particular topic). Includes a chi-squared question and links to/revision of meiosis Made with AQA in mind, but the specifications for OCR and Edexcel are pretty similar for this topic, so would be beneficial to those specifications as well. Mark scheme included.
