A summary sheet for students to help them to revise for the core practicals in the AQA GCSE Trilogy biology part of the course. The sheet provides independent, dependent variables (where relevant), controls, equipment list, summary method and key evaluation points for each practical to enable students to review the practicals that they have completed.

A summary sheet for students to help them to revise for the core practicals in the Edexcel B A level biology course. The sheet provides independent, dependent variables (where relevant), controls, equipment list, summary method and key evaluation points for each practical to enable students to review the practicals that they have completed. The version that I have written for the previous Edexcel biology A level course have been quite successful and popular with students to support revision. The sheet can be teamed with some practice practical questions. please do leave a review if you purchase as anything to help to improve this resource would be appreciated.

A document that shows students the topics from both the AS and A2 Edexcel biology course (from 2008) that shows how the different topics link together.

A task to get students to re-enact (sort of!) what Dr John Snow did in terms of identifying the causes of an outbreak of cholera in london. finding the real cause - story of Snow finding the real cause graph - a gridded version of the map of London where Snow did his work finding the real cause graph data - points to plot on the graph showing the water pumps and the cases (fictional) of cholera students then have to assess their graph and decide what it tells them and then what they shoudl do next

an analogy that I have written to help students to understand the basic process for protein synthesis. Students seem to really like it and understand from the analogy.

a diagram drawn to show the process of respiration

a series of diagrams to aid the revision of photosynthesis. image 1 is a summary of how photosynthesis, respiration, plant structure link together (combination of AS and A2 knowledge) image 2 shows the locations of photosynthesis image 3 is the light independent image 4 is the light dependent

a diagram drawn to aid revision of how an action potential passes along a neuron and crosses a synapse.

a diagram drawn to help students to revise kidney structure and function.

a good plenary or starter

co-ordinates and basic map for students to plot, (in different colours) earthquakes and volcanoes. The aim is for them to see that the majority occur near the edges of the plates. adapted from an old Hodder B KS3 science resource

I have used this sheet only with a practice ISA to help students to learn how to research their topic. It can be edited for whichever hypothesis you want and we got the students to use this in the computer room to research their ISA planning sheet. They then use the full information to write their ISA notes sheet. This also means that they can keep this sheet for revision to revise from before their tests and to help them to remember what their notes sheet means. For the real thing, they will create their own.

a booklet that I have constructed to give to year 10 (and 11) for support in the ISA. We add in a copy of the definitions from AQA as well

a simple comprehension task on smallpox and immunisation

this has 3 levels of difficulty, the first with a word bank and starting letters, the second with just the word bank and the third with no clues. This is a good summary challenge after doing food tests.

use these to encourage students to learn the spelling of some key words and to write their own sentence of explanation
