This is a set of flashcards created for the Ecology unit for AQA Biology. The flashcards are double-sided (flip on long edge), so the answer is on the reverse of each card, and are colour-coded with blue cards being the easiest, green mid-difficulty and red the most challenging. With my lowest ability groups I ask them to learn the blue cards as a minimum. My higher ability groups learn the blue cards first, then the green and red cards.

This is the full lesson based on Activate 1 'Disruption to food chains and webs ’ It’s suitable for delivery by non specialists / cover supervisors as all answers are included. There is a numeracy starting activity and literacy embedded throughout. SEN support included.

This is the Ecosystems lesson from my Activate Interdependence unit. Designed to be suitable for delivery by non-specialists if necessary - it has all answers included to any questions asked. Differentiated for SEN .

This is the specialised cells lesson in the Activate 1 Organisms unit lesson 8.2.3 Included is a Powerpoint presentation. Circus activity to gather information in a table, Literacy support sheet for SEN. There is an accompanying quiz on Show My Homework if required.

This is the lesson that covers the content in Activate 1 (9.1.1) Food chains and webs. It includes a Powerpoint presentation suitable for delivery by a non-specialist, as all answers are included. It also includes a literacy support sheet for students with SEN to reduce writing load. I have also attached the homework mentioned in the powerpoint, but this is not included in the price as it is an external resource.

This is the Observing cells lesson in the AQA Activate 1 scheme of work. Included is: A powerpoint presentation suitable for non-specialists to deliver as all of the instructions and answers are included. A numeracy starting activity Instructions for using a microscope Instructions for a good biological drawing Literacy support sheet for SEN (to reduce writing for lower ability students) There is an associated quiz on Show My Homework saved to community resources

This is lesson 4 of the Cells and movement unit in Activate 1. It includes a powerpoint presentation, starting activity, Sheets to label, SEN literacy support and images to stick in books to break up chunks of text. I do plan to make this part of a bundle when I have finished planning the whole unit, where I will include flashcards for revision too (hopefully by the end of November 2018)

This is a complete lesson for the first topic in the Activate 1 chapter 8 Organisms There is a literacy starter, and support sheets for weaker students to reduce the amount of writing they need to do.

Whole lesson and resources for lesson three (Joints) of the Activate 1 book unit ‘Movement and cells’ . Included is the Powerpoint presentation, table for practical Clipart (for students to cut and stick to break up their text) and an SEN literacy support sheet. For this lesson you will need access to several scales that measure in newtons. A model of a skeleton would be useful too, but is not essential.

This is the second lesson in the activate 1 unit ‘Movement and cells’ , basically covering an overview of the skeleton and why its functions. This lesson includes a Powerpoint presentation, numeracy starter and SEN literacy support sheet (to reduce written element for lower ability students).

This is a set of five Powerpoint presentations which covers 10 lessons. It breaks down the assessment criteria into manageable chunks with instructions on which parts to complete in each session. It should help to keep the students on-track, so no-one falls behind. The presentations should be printed off and given to the students (or emailed to them) so they can use them to guide their own study.

No text books are needed for this session. This is a gentle introduction to homeostasis that I created for my lower ability year 10s. There are a few slides where they need to take notes (print off for some students) There is a 6 minute video (the lovely amoeba sisters) overview of homeostasis. I have included a question sheet (answers in powerpoint) so students are answering questions as they watch. A short exam question at the end to test understanding - then a quick plenary question session to check recall of the main points. The exam question is basic - you may want to replace this for a higher ability class.

This is a Powerpoint that covers all of chapter B1 of the AQA Biology text book in one revision session. Can be used for pre paper 1 biology revision or for an end of chapter test for younger students. It’s a whistle-stop tour of the main points from this chapter. Students write down the parts they are unsure of only There is no content in this chapter than is separate science only, so this is suitable for both combined science and separate science.

This presentation walks through the differences between mitosis and meiosis step by step. This presentation was delivered remotely over Microsoft Teams as the students were struggling to visualise the differences.

Encourage your students to learn key definitions as they study with this keyword definition list for B1 (AQA). Includes blank list (so students can find their own definitions), definitions and test. I will be making these for each unit as I prepare to teach them so look back here for more lists appearing. Each keyword list is designed for top set Biology students aiming for grade 9. For lower sets and combined science students, delete as many of the words as needed to make it manageable for them as appropriate.
