A revision poster on Respiration summarising the key-points on; the role of food in respiration reaction what is respiration? Where does respiration take place? types of respiration (aerobic and anaerobic) what happens during vigorous exercise? What is oxygen debt? What is lactic acid and where is it broken down? what is fermentation? My students stick this revision poster/chart into their exercise book at the start or end of the chapter content delivery.

GCSE OCR GAteway Science Specification (Grade 9- 1) B4 - Ecosystems Lesson includes: Starter, main and plenary Three tasks for students to practice draw their pyramids of numbers and biomass All tasks include the answers

GCSE Biology B1 - Cell Levels System revision follows the Gateway Science specification. This resourse is for Year 9 - 11 pupils. It summaries the key concepts on all the B1 topics to include B1.1 Cell structure, B1.2 What happens in cells, B1.3 Respiration and B1.4 Photosynthesis. Students must fill in the keywords that are missing on the ‘student version’ ppt. There is answers on the ‘answer’ ppt. that accompanies the student version and there is a help sheet, this displays the keywords for students. Please note triple concepts are not included in these summaries (I usually get my triples to do up their own slide on the triple concept that is missing.) The dept of practical/experimental knowledge is also missing but please see me other resources on GCSE Biology practical summaries. Students (especially the lower ability) find these revision sheets very helpful and they form the backbone of their revision.

GCSE OCR Gateway Science *Specification link *(Grade 9 -1) B4 Competition and interdependence There is a lot of biological concepts to cover in this lesson (my advice would be to do Task 3 (research task) in a separate lesson and finish that lesson with some past exam questions. The biggest mistake teachers make here is they fly through this section and students mis the understanding of key terms like bioaccumulation and the examboard loves to test students scientific knowledge on the concepts covered in this lesson This lesson covers the term competition - students can watch a short clip on intrasepecfic competition terms - predation, mutualistic and parasitism relationships explained and questions to consolidate students learning term bioaccumulation explained independent research task

Specification link: Oxford KS3 Science - Activate 1 Attached is a template I use with my year 7’s at the end of teaching this topic on cells students have to summaries the keypoints Some students prefer doing this by hand others use computers Answers also provided if you can enlarge to A3 even better

OCR Gateway Science (Grade 9-1) Specification Suitable for Year groups 9 - 11 This is a homework booklet I put together for the 5 lessons for combined students and 7 lessons for triple/separate biology students; mark schemes included. I photocopied it as a booklet, it was handy for picking up and marking myself rather than taking up 20-30 exercise books. My students hole punched theirs and treasury tagged it in their exercise books (also hole punched). I did not mark all sections, we peer assessed some of it in lessons using green pen.
