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.

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.
