I specialise in general science resources for KS3 and KS4 and biology for KS5. I try to make my resources suitable for non-specialists and teachers new to the subject, by including answers to any questions and full step-by-step explanations. I love flashcards and try to make a set for each unit I deliver. I am in the process of upgrading these to colour coded (differentiated) sets. All newly added resources will have a remote-learning version too (just in case :-))

Biology Keyword definitions and test for units B1, B2 and B3 AQA

Biology Keyword definitions and test for units B1, B2 and B3 AQA

1 Resources
Keyword lists, definitions and tests for the first three units of the Biology GCSE course. There are around 50 definitions for each unit. Created for the most able students aiming for grade 9 in separate science, these are easily tweaked for lower grades and combined students by removing some of the trickier definitions. I’ve used these for my bottom set by paring them right down to 15 definitions to concentrate on. I encourage my students to create a new flashcard each time they come across a new key term from the list and learn it for next lesson.
B2 Organisation Biology  Keyword definitions and test

B2 Organisation Biology Keyword definitions and test

(0)
Encourage your students to learn key definitions as they study with this keyword definition list for B2 Organisation (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 and for the bundle once I have completed all the units. 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.

This flashcards have been made using the AQA biology text book as source material. 78 of the questions are both combined and separate science 24 of the questions are separate science only (and are labelled as such) Print double sided (flip long edge) to produce the correct answer on the back of the correct card. These took me a whole weekend to make so I hope they’re useful. (also available in a bundle)

Please note the preview shows cards with words carried over from one line to another - they do not look like this, I’m not sure why the preview has squeezed the file! I have created these homeostasis flashcards to help my GCSE biology students to revise for their Biology exams. This set covers homeostasis. Print double sided (flip on long edge) so that the answers are on the back of the card. In this set I have identified which cards are separate science only, so that I don’t give these to my combined science students. It took my eight hours to make these so I hope you find them useful. I have other sets available, but this is the first set that I have highlighted the separate science content. I hope you find it useful - please leave feedback if you have time.

I was looking for some flashcards for GCSE Biology revision, and couldn’t find anything comprehensive - so I’m making my own. This set covers the first sub-chapter of the AQA Biology text book plus cell structure and transport and inheritance and variation. Please let me know if you find them useful - it might spur me on to get through the other chapters more quickly :-) They are designed to be printed double sided (flip on long edge), so just need to be cut out and they’re then ready to go. If you edit any of the questions, make sure the boxes still line up before you print them. Update - I will keep adding extra cards as I make them - so if you’ve bought this resource already - keep checking back to see if there are more cards you can download.
