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.

I hope that my resources are enjoyed by your pupils and of course support their learning of such an interesting and great subject.
This is a huge bundle of resources covering many of the topics studied in Year 1/ AS year of the OCR A Biology course.
Due to the similarities with other A level specifications this bundle would be well suited to other exam boards too.
Topics covered include:
1.) The heart and circulation
2.) The cardiac cycle
3.Chromatography
3.) Nucleic acids
4.) Protein synthesis
5.) Mitosis and meiosis
6.) Cell structure
7.) Transport in plants
8.) Statistics for biologists
9.) Prokaryotes
10.) Biochemistry: Carbohydrates
11.) Biochemistry: Lipids (Trigylcerides)
12.) Biochemistry: Proteins
13.) Biochemistry: Water and it’s properties
Answer sheets are provided for all resources included in this bundle
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 free sample of a worksheet from the GCSE revision pack, targeted at students aiming for grade 5, produced in collaboration with a subject lead for Maths. Each worksheet contains nine questions clearly laid out and with space for the student’s response.
