AQA GCSE required practical revision notes/sheets covering all of the required practicals for Triple Science (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.

Perfect for a revision/consolidation lesson or a fun end-of-term activity. 10 consolidation tasks/activities for a revision lesson or a fun end-of-term activity. Add a competitive element by using alongside one of my ‘fun team game ideas’ and give the winning team a small prize. Activities are based on topics common to all exam boards (to the best of my knowledge). Full answers and team answer sheets included. More secondary science tasks coming soon! Bundle includes instructions & printable resources for the following games: Capture the flag 100 Square Four in a row

Meiosis summary worksheets for AS / A-level Biology (process has been simplified to include only two pairs of homologous chromosomes): Students can cut out each worksheet around the dotted edge and glue/tape the sheets together to produce a large summary sheet covering the entire process of meiosis. PDF includes two versions: 3 page version which includes details on individual stages of Meiosis I and II. 2 page version (more suitable for AQA) that provides an overview of Meiosis I and II and does not go into details regarding the individual stages. I have included diagrams representing the chromosomal content of cells during interphase (both prior to, and after DNA replication). I have drawn the chromosomes in interphase in the same way as the chromosomes during the meiosis (even though in interphase, the chromosomes have not yet condensed), this is just so students can clearly see what is happening to the number of chromosome. Both versions are designed for students to colour the chromosomes to represent maternal and paternal chromosomes (and also the results of crossing-over). Versions with completed text are included, if you are short of time and would like to provide the sheets as handouts instead. However, please note, students would still need to colour the chromosomes to represent the maternal/paternal chromosomes and the outcome of crossing-over. An example of completed colouring is included on the last page of the PDF. Exam style question worksheet: 36 marks of exam-style questions covering the A-level Biology topic of meiosis. Written for the AQA specification, but the majority of the questions are relevant to all exam boards. Non-disjunction has intentionally been set as the last question, allowing it to be easily removed for those exam boards which don’t include this sub-topic. Questions have been designed with the intention of covering as many permutations as possible with regards to meiosis exam questions, but without repetition. Useful as a homework / self-assessment / revision task before an end-of-topic test. Includes full mark scheme.

Photosynthesis is a key A-level Biology, which many students find tricky to get to grips with. Help your students consolidate their knowledge with these three resources. What is included? Photosynthesis consolidation / understanding check questions. Designed for the AQA specification, but relevant to other exam boards. 3 pages / 28 questions (plus 3 synoptic questions). Full answers included. Useful for homework / cover work / revision prior to end of topic assessment. Photosynthesis Consolidation Task Stations: 6 task stations designed as a consolidation/revision lesson for A-level Biology Photosynthesis (with an optional 7th task for AQA) Task 1: Sort (fill in the gaps and then order the steps of the light-dependent reaction). Task 2: Describe (6 mark question on the light-independent reaction) Task 3: State (10 x 1 mark ‘state’ the answer questions) Task 4: Investigate (4 part question on the DCPIP practical) Task 5: Calculate (percentage change & ratios) Task 6: Synoptic (4 part task linking photosynthesis, protein structure & enzymes) Optional Task 7: Essay (choose 1 essay from a choice of 3 and write a suitable paragraph on photosynthesis that could be included in the chosen essay). What does this resource include? PDF containing all 7 tasks full mark scheme for tasks 1-6 (please note there is no mark scheme included for the essay task) student answer sheets Photosynthesis Summary Worksheets 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. Includes 4 worksheets covering: structure/function of chloroplasts light dependent reaction light independent reaction * limiting factors of photosynthesis 2 different light independent reaction worksheets are included - one with ‘TP’ for AQA/OCR, and the other with ‘GALP’, for those teaching the Edexcel specification. For each worksheet, differentiated versions are included: a version containing just the diagram, for more confident students to annotate themselves. a scaffolded version, with ‘fill in the gap’ structure. Completed versions of all worksheets are included.

500 flashcards covering Modules 1, 2, 3 & 4 of the OCR A-level Biology specification (first assessment 2024). Concise, mapped to the specification & based on past mark schemes. Print & assemble or use on a device. Some simpler practical skill questions are covered in the Module 2, 3 & 4 flashcards, but PAGs are covered separately in greater detail in the OCR PAG revision sheet resource. Module 1 flashcards cover general practical skills.

Visually appealing resources perfect for anyone teaching the Cells and Organisation topic for KS3. Ideal for new teachers or non-specialist teachers as full answers are included.
