A revision activity for the competition part of the AQA specification Ecology unit. This can be printed on A4 or A3 for students to complete.

A revision activity for the Ecology unit on the AQA GCSE 9-1 specification. Additional slides with the answers have been included. This can be printed on A4 or A3 for students to complete.

A complete set of revision notes to cover the AQA Biology specification. Covers Paper 1 and Paper 2. Covers the whole specification in 49 pages. Has been used alongside questionning to tutor students (with an average increase of 4 grades)…0.

A group of extended writing past questions covering a wide range of topics. Designed to encourage students to read the longer questions and discover what they need to do to pick up marks. Booklets can be printed (with separate mark schemes) and the powerpoint has a slide per question with the mark scheme on the following slide, so students can be lead through the question and immediately review the mark scheme. Will take several lessons to complete.

This is based on the Collins AQA GCSE (9-1) Text books. It includes what pages are relevant for those on Triple Science (higher tier) , what required practicals are and key vocabulary for each topic. I use these as a introduction to new topics and throughout the unit. Students are able to tick lessons as they complete them and ensure they know the required vocabulary. They help students to target their revision and understand what they need to do to catch up if they miss lessons.

This is a lesson designed to be woven into GCSE Science to help students apply their learning and think more about how their learning works in other ways. This lesson is designed to slot in the inheritance, variation and evolution topic, probably after the learning about evolution but before genetic engineering and selective breeding. It is designed to help students to understand the area in more depth and apply science to their life. It also aims to give an appreciation of how varied science can be – it’s not all biology, chemistry and physics! This lesson can also be used as a taster session for Psychology or as an introduction to Psychology following the completion of GCSEs.

This group of resources has been created for use as induction to science work for year 6 students preparing for secondary school. They can generally be used by KS2 and KS3 students (years 3 to 8) though.

We can see these energy changes by looking at changes in temperature. We have a method here that will help you carry out an exothermic reaction.

We have a method here that you can use to carry out your own precipitation reaction.

All of these things can be explored by building our own mini ecosystem.

Many people believe you are supposed to water the leaves of a plant, here we show how water is drawn up the plant from the soil.

We have a method here that will help you carry out a chemical reaction.

This is a task sheet designed to last an entire lesson. I developed this for cover work but have also used this in a teacher led lesson. The sheet contains the key information for the lesson and a variety of tasks for the students to complete. The tasks follow a difficulty level ladder based on Blooms but adapted to the Science classroom: Recall (simplest) Understand Apply Analyse Evaluate Create (hardest) The lessons follow the Activate KS3 book scheme.
