I have been teaching Biology for 20 years and I have struggled to find concise and engaging resources for teaching Biology, which is why I have set about creating my own. I hope that my resources are enjoyed by your pupils and of course support their learning of such an interesting and great subject.

Biology A Level Poster Pack on Cell Division: Mitosis and Meiosis

(2)
A poster pack covering the stages of both mitosis and meiosis, with diagrams and detailed explanations of what is happening at each stage. Ideal for A level Biology students. The posters are great for display around the classroom or to give to the students for revision. All posters have been provided in a choice of black and white or colour. Students may wish to label the diagrams with the names of the different structures, detailed in the accompanying explanation of each stage. Both posters have been provided in both an A3 and A4 format to allow for printing in either size. I would advise to print on A3 if possible for the meiosis poster, as it keeps all the stages of meiosis on one sheet and makes it easier for the student to compare the two different stages of meiosis.

Statistics for A level Biology

(6)
This is a very useful and comprehensive resource for students studying A level Biology. A great refresher for the teacher too or someone teaching Biology who may not be so confident when it comes to teaching statistics. The resource is a 22 page booklet which covers all the key aspects of statistics required for Biology at A level. There are worked examples and questions for the students to work through. This booklet has been designed to be fully explanatory so that students can work through it independently. The booklet is fully comprehensive and no other resources are needed; all probability tables are given with the questions. The key topics covered in the booklet are: 1.) Why use statistics on data 2.) Calculating standard deviation and its meaning 3.) The student t-test 4.) The Spearman rank correlation coefficient 5.) The Chi-squared test The booklet should take approximately two 1 hour lessons to complete, dependent on how familiar the students are with statistics. Those studying A level Maths and Geography may be more confident working through the calculations and understanding the outcomes. A separate answer booklet is provided with answers to all questions given.

A Level Biology Cell division: Mitosis and Meiosis Activity and Poster Bundle

3 Resources
Buy the mitosis and meiosis activity packs together and get the posters for free. The two activities on mitosis and mitosis are designed so that students can learn and identify the key stages and describe what happens in each stage for the two types of cell division. The close activity included helps students to become more familiar with the key words used in the cell division topic. Both activities can be completed by the students independently as the instructions are given on the sheets. These activity packs are ideal for both teaching the topic and also as a revision aide for the students. The posters are great for display around the classroom or to give to pupils for revision. All sheets are provided in an A3 or A4 format. I would recommend printing the meiosis activity and poster on A3 paper if possible. This keeps all the stages of meiosis on one page, making it easier for students to compare the two different stages of meiosis with one another.

GCSE Biology: Knowledge Organiser on Gas Exchange and Breathing Topic

(0)
Knowledge organisers have become increasingly popular with both students and teachers alike. Research shows that students find them a much more effective tool to condense their topic notes, in order to learn the content for assessments. Even better is that the notes are laid out on one page, rather than over several pages in a textbook or revision guide. The knowledge organiser has two versions, a completed version/answer sheet and a worksheet version, which allows pupils to be more active in their learning and complete diagram labelling/sentences/tables etc. The knowledge organiser covers all of the gas exchange topic (topic 11) on the CIE IGCSE course and features the following subtopics: Lung structure and function Gas exchange and the adaptations of the alveoli The process of ventilation The effect of exercise on breathing Make sure you print out on A3 paper Thanks for looking.
