This is lesson 4 of 7 lessons that can be used in part or whole to teach the biology topic of interdependence in animals and plants. This lesson explains what animals compete for. Modeling each of the competitions and how they get food, mates and territory. Looks at behavior of animals to be successful. Inter and intraspecific competition is covered. Challenge looks at some of the behavior of cuckoo birds in ensuring their survival. . These lessons are not board specific and can be used (dependent on ability) from KS3 and KS4. Lesson 4 - Competition in Animals (THIS LESSON) THESE ARE ALSO AVAILABLE TO BUY Lesson 1 - Interdependence & Biodiversity Lesson 2 - Sampling Plants (Quadrats) Lesson 3 - Abundance of Animals (sampling techniques) Lesson 5 - Competition & Adaptations in Plants Lesson 6 - Adaptations in Animals Lesson 7 - Predator Prey Population Graphs Each lesson has a interactive PowerPoint that has a starter and comprehensive explanations that will allow for questioning and discussion. There is a pupil worksheet (both in Publisher for editing, and PDF forms). The worksheet mirrors what has been taught in the lesson. There is a question (and a mark scheme) that can be used to consolidate the learning in the lesson or as homework. The lesson is labeled in the CLF (common lesson format) so pupils are aware of what that section is about.

This is lesson 8 of a set of 10 lessons that cover 4.6.3 and 4.6.4 of the new GCSE AQA Biology curriculum. It follows the Oxford book chapter 15 in its chronology. Each lesson has an interactive PowerPoint, a pupil worksheet(s) linked to the work in the PowerPoint and a linked past paper question with mark scheme (the Publisher original of the worksheet is also added so you differentiate accordingly should you wish). The PowerPoint has a starter that leads on from the previous lessons learning. The student worksheet incorporates the learning in the lesson. The worksheets can be used to show progress and/or be cut up and stuck in books to avoid unnecessary diagram drawing etc. and use the time for deeper understanding. The 10 lessons can be bought individually or as a bundle for the lot.

This is lesson 6 of 7 lessons that can be used in part or whole to teach the biology topic of interdependence in animals and plants. This lesson explains how animals are adapted to survive. The scaffolding is to identify the adaptations, then how those adaptations help it survive a predator or catch a prey. The worksheet builds on the modeling done earlier. There is also a sheet that gives pupils scope for artistic flair by building their own predator or prey and how the adaptations help them. Challenge looks at how the adaptations in the wrong environment don’t help it. These lessons are not board specific and can be used (dependent on ability) from KS3 and KS4.

This resource contains 29 quick quizzes I have compiled for the AS AQA new Biology course. Each quiz has 10 questions of varying difficulty and then the answers. There is a linked excel sheet to record results and instructions as how to link the PowerPoint to the excel sheet (can be used without linking to the excel sheet as a stand alone resource too). The PowerPoint contains 29 quizzes spanning the whole AS course with questions and answers and an integrated results sheet to record the results from your class and a handy macro will rank them in order depending on their average through the quizzes. From the menu screen you can skip to any quiz and return back to the menu. Great for starters, plenaries and revision throughout the year.

Since the declaration that GCSE Science pupils wont be able to use equations sheets in future exams, I have been thinking of a system that will help them learn the equations and help staff in facilitating that learning. I have devised this. It is supposed to be used as a starter / plenary for pupils to go over and over and try to implant the equations over time. I will use it in every lesson, parrot fashion for success! This is not board specific as they all will need to learn them, and can be used for the current legacy GCSE students too as a revision resource. This demo only has the questions for 'Acceleration' questions, but you will get a good idea of what the paid product will be like. The GCSE PHYSICS Speed Equations full can be found in my store. It has questions on SI Units Questions, Speed/Distance/Time (v=d/t), Acceleration (a=v/t), Force?mass?Acceleration (F=ma), Kinetic Energy (KE = 1/2 m v ^2), Wavelength/Frequency (v=ƒ λ) and Momentum (p=mv) HIGHER TIER Only. There are another demos and full powerpoint on Energy Equations and Electricity Equations on my page. I have used the template for my ABCD cards for this endeavour, but you don't need those to utilise these PowerPoints. Enjoy.

It has questions on SI units, Gravitational Potential Energy, Kinetic Energy, Efficiency, Power and Specific Heat Capacity. These take some time to make, but I will group the other equations together as I have for the energy equations. I have used the template for my ABCD cards for this endeavour, but you don't need those to utilise these PowerPoints. Be patient, I'm going as fast as I can. Enjoy.

Here are 10 logic puzzles that can be used in science or maths. They can be used as starters,plenaries or homework. The idea was for them to be used to get the students to think logically and work through to see the process in a fun way. The snooker ball may need to be explained to some students as they might not know the values of the coloured balls.

These are the student cover sheets that describe which AT (assessment techniques) that will be assessed for each practical. The grading criteria is the one that is used in the official AQA Biology tracker and my own improved tracker that is based on the AQA tracker (you can download it free from my page). The sheets are generic and in Word format so that you can amend or add your school crest on if needs be.

This AQA Additional Paper Analysis Tool will collate the 'mock' results and using the actual grade boundaries will give a grade for a) the whole paper, b) individual grades for the Biology, Chemistry and Physics aspects and c) will show the levels of progress the student has made. This has been invaluable as a monitoring and intervention tool to target individuals and classes that are falling behind. The screen shots to see how this looks when populated can be downloaded free from my page.

This easy chart will allow you to assess the risks with your practical and use the advice on the chart to plan accordingly. Useful for all staff who teach science and who need to show how they have assessed the risk.

These are traffic light cards designed by myself as ever other ones I could find were not good enough. These were originally for science but can be used for any subject. I have attached the template PowerPoint which can be used with these. I have a set of 30 made and laminated that are a superb resource for starters, plenaries and in class assessment to show progress in the lesson. I have set it up fot 10 questions, but you can add more easily. The two sheets are supposed to be printed back to back so that the colours match on both sides.

This spreadsheet can be used to collate the ISA grades for Core, Additional, Biology, Chemistry and Physics ISA's. The sheet will calculate the grade achieved from the 2015 AQA grade boundaries. It will also do a count to show how many pupils have achieved A* - G in each piece. There is enough space for 250 pupils in the core and additional and 150 for the triple science. The grade the pupil gets will RAG change colour with regard to what their target is. Enjoy and I hope it helps. If you like have a look at some of the other spreadsheet resources I have in my shop.
