I've been teaching A-level biology for years and have spent several hours developing resources to the highest possible standard.
They are designed to maximise class time - spending less time on learning facts, with a focus on application and the processing of information.

PPT with two card sort activities on the reabsorption of glucose and water in the proximal convoluted tubule and water in the loop of Henle. One of the card sorts is partly scaffolded on the class notes for the topcic (also available on TES), The other is for the students to write out in its entirety if you/they chose to do so.
PPT for lesson on diabetes. Should be used with the handout for this topic and purchased as part of the bundle. Also includes a starter exam question on synapse inhibition.
PPT for the lesson on Hormones and regulation of blood glucose. Quite a few past exam questions, some of which link back to year 1 material. Introduces and provides students the opportunity to practice with the terminology associated with this lesson. It is designed to be used with the class notes for this topic, also available separately on TES.
PowerPoint to introduce the topic of homeostasis. Includes a card sort activity and a 'quiz' to help student's apply knowledge to unfamiliar situations (e.g. thermoregulation). At the end of the PPT there are three examples of positive feedback. Where possible, there are also links to year 1 material. The PPT contains notes with most of the answers to the questions on the PPT. This resource is designed to be used with the class notes for this topic.
Complete set of pre-work, PowerPoints, bespoke student class notes, any additional resources and marks schemes for (approximately) eight 1.5 hour lessons covering Year 2 topic no. 13: Energy & ecosystems.
These resources have taken several hours to develop and are offered here for a bargain, considering the amount of work that has gone into producing them.
In this bundle, the class notes, PowerPoints and all other resources are fully editable to suit your style of teaching. They make reference to, and may require students to access both the Toole & Toole and AQA A Level Biology Student Book 2 (Lowrie & Smith) for some independent study.
The pre-work contains links to websites and also requires students to complete a topic glossary (in the folder dividers), which are also available on TES, along with accompanying images. It is important students complete the pre-work prior to the lessons because they are then tested on their understanding of the pre-work throughout the beginning of the topic.
The topic overview sheet is for students to write up their notes after the topic has been taught and an exemplar topic overview has been included in this bundle.
If upon purchasing these resources, you need any support, I'll do my utmost to help.
Student notes / work booklet to cover (approximately) eight 1.5 hour lessons on topic 13: Energy and ecosystems (AQA), plus some independent study.
Marking guidelines for the questions interspersed throughout, and at the end of the booklet are also included.
The PowerPoints to accompany these notes can be purchased separately or as part of the bundle.
PowerPoint for lesson on Environmental consequences of using nitrogen fertilisers. Contains a card sort activity (with all the correct and relevant terminology) to detail the process of eutrophication.
Also included is a brief explanation of stocking density to help students understand the 'Productivity and poultry' activity in the class notes, also available on TES.
PowerPoint on fertilisers to be included as part of the bundle for this topic - I recommend you do not purchase this resource individually - it is simply designed to introduce this lesson and to complement the class notes for this topic (available on TES)
Like all the PowerPoints available on TES, this is designed to complement the class notes for this topic.
This includes introduction to and questions on mycorrhizae, the phosphorous cycle and finally the nitrogen cycle.
This takes approximately 2.5 - 3 hours to deliver (in total) as each stage of the nitrogen cycle is covered in considerable detail so they can then attempt to apply their new knowledge, which historically they find especially challenging in the examinations.
Included in this purchase is an A3 handout with cards for students to arrange so they get familiar with the nitrogen cycle. The instructions and answers for this activity are on the final slide in the presentation.
This has taken about 8-10 hours to produce and develop (and when used properly it works brilliantly) hence the price!
Contains a few video clips to help stimulate student interest in a topic they generally don't find that enjoyable. Also a quiz - guess the producer (from my allotment), calculations of energy transfer exercise and an activity about biological control, which I use as an application exercise and to get students familiar with the analysis of relatively simple data.
Student notes / work booklet to cover seven 1.5 hour lessons on topic 19: Populations (AQA), plus some independent study.
Marking guidelines for the questions interspersed throughout, and at the end of the booklet are also included.

Short piece of pre-work for the topic of Populations. Not particularly well developed, but offered here primarily so it can be included as part of the bundle for the topic.
Lengthy PowerPoint introducing this lesson - should be used with the class notes for the topic. Very lengthy, so obviously not all of it should be shown to your classes, but for teacher use as you work through activities.
Long (interactive) PowerPoint introducing this lesson - should be used with the class notes for the topic. Very lengthy, so obviously not all of it should be used in class!
