A-level Biology Maths and Statistics Self-Assessment Questions/Worksheets with Mark Scheme

(1)
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.

OCR A-level Biology Required Practical PAG Revision Sheets

(0)
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).

OCR 'A' A-level Biology Module 5 Revision Flashcards

(0)
*For first assessment in 2025. Concise, mapped to the specification and based on past mark schemes. Print & assemble and then use to teach yourself the correct marking points for each topic. Contains 252 flashcards covering Module 5 of the OCR ‘A’ specification (first assessment in 2025). Some simpler practical skill questions are covered in the flashcards, but PAGs are generally covered separately in the OCR PAG revision sheet resource, which allows each PAG to be covered in more detail than flashcards would allow. 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.

Meiosis A-level Biology Active Recall Flashcard Activity

(0)
30 flashcards designed to test A-level students on their knowledge of meiosis in an engaging & productive way. Designed for the AQA specification, but these cards would be useful for all exam boards (the final 3 flashcards are on the topic of non-disjunction, which is not relevant to all other exam boards). I use this resource as a consolidation task prior to the end-of-topic assessment. Great task for encouraging active recall, so students learn by retrieving information from their brain (as opposed to trying to put information into their brain). What does this resource include? 30 flashcards, to be printed double-sided on 3 sheets of A4 card or paper. Includes one version with the answers completed, & another version with the answer side blank for students to complete. How to use? Provide students with a set of the ‘blank answer’ flashcards and ask them to complete the answers as a homework or revision task. Print & laminate the completed flashcards to use as an activity for early finishers. Use as a class revision exercise. Also available as part of a meiosis bundle, which includes a meiosis worksheet and a foldable visual worksheet outlining the stages of meiosis.

Meiosis AS A-level Biology Summary Worksheet and Exam Style Questions Bundle

2 Resources
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.
