TeachSecondaryScienceTeachSecondaryScience

In Vivo and In Vitro (PCR) Cloning A-level Biology Summary Worksheets

(1)
Three worksheets covering part of Section 8 of the AQA A-level Biology specification: Producing DNA fragments (reverse transcriptase, restriction endonucleases & gene machines). In vivo cloning (summary of isolation - insertion - transformation - identification - culturing). Please note that a DETAILED EXPLANATION OF SPECIFIC MARKER GENES is NOT INCLUDED in this resource. In vitro cloning / PCR (Where relevant, a scaffolded gap-fill style version and a blank version is included). 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.

What is included? 4 label & colour worksheets: Animal cell (includes one version with centrioles and one without) Plant cell Prokaryotic cell (includes one version with pili & mesosomes, and one without) Viruses (not a cell, I know! However comparisons between eukaryotic cells/prokaryotic cells/viruses are a common exam question) Full answer sheets are included, which could also be used as a handout. Please note - the coloured animal cell shown on the preview is just an example of how students could colour in the cells, this coloured version is not included - all cells are black and white in the download.

AQA GCSE Combined Science Trilogy Required Practical Revision Sheets
TeachSecondaryScienceTeachSecondaryScience

AQA GCSE Combined Science Trilogy Required Practical Revision Sheets

(1)
AQA GCSE required practical revision notes/sheets covering all 21 required practicals for Combined Science/Trilogy (higher tier). 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 (where relevant) 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. Please note that I can accept no responsibility for your final exam grade should you choose to use these revision resources. These resources are intended to help students actively revise, but students should be aware that a high proportion of the marks in your exams are AO2 and AO3 marks and students should therefore use a variety of resources and techniques in preparation for all of the question styles that will be encountered in the exam. Whilst these resources have been written with past mark schemes in mind, there is no guarantee that future mark schemes will be the same. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this resource, but I am only human, so if you spot an error, please email teachsecondaryscience@gmail.com and the resource will be updated ASAP.

Nerve Impulses Summary Worksheets A-level Biology

(0)
Nerve Impulses (AQA Section 6) summary worksheets for A-level Biology. 3 worksheets: The action potential Refractory period + propagation of a nerve impulse along a non-myelinated neurone. Factors which affect speed of conduction (temperature, axon diameter, myelination). Since introducing these visual summary worksheets, I have seen improvements across all abilities. Download includes differentiated versions for the second two worksheets (one scaffolded ‘fill in the blank’ style worksheet, and one with blank answer spaces). Full answer sheets are included, which could also be used as a handout. The action potential worksheet is available as a fully completed version, to be used as a revision sheet or a version with the just the diagram and graph, for students to add their own text to. This leaves teachers free to explain each section of the graph as they prefer (i.e. some teachers prefer to include the term ‘voltage-gated’ ion channels, some don’t). Encourage students to add colour to the worksheets to aid formation of visual memories.

AQA A-level Biology Required Practical Revision Sheets and Scientific Methodology Flashcards

2 Resources
AQA Required practical revision notes/sheets covering the 12 A-level required practicals (redox indicator & respirometer included for required practical 9) 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. Plus, set of 65 flashcards covering practical skills & experimental design. Covers topics such as: Different types of variable Accuracy / precision / repeatability etc Uncertainty Range / standard deviation Choice of statistical test Choice of graph Basic practical skills such as scientific drawing rules, eye piece graticule calibration etc There is some ambiguity when it comes to mark schemes on questions such as accuracy/precision - with different exam boards sometimes having slightly different answers. I have tried to include the most appropriate answer on the flashcards, but if anyone disagrees with any of the answers - please do send me an email at the address below and I will alter the answers accordingly!
