This is lesson 2 of a set of 10 lessons that cover 4.6.1 of the new GCSE AQA Biology curriculum. It follows the Oxford book chapter 13 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 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 lessons can be bought individually or as a bundle for the lot.

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 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. Lesson 6 - Adaptations 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 4 - Competition in Animals Lesson 5 - Competition & Adaptations in Plants 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 bundle consists of 5 reproduction in human and plants worksheets... 1. Male & Female Sexual Organs Label 2. Fertilisation & Implantation 3. Development & Birth 4. Menstrual Cycle 5. Reproduction in Plants The sheets suitable for KS3 and KS4 (maybe KS2 high flyers. The sheets are colourful and can be used as a stand alone resource or to be cut up and stuck into books to avoid wasting time drawing unnecessary diagrams.

This is lesson 3 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 invertebrates can be captured and released. Modeling shows why the different techniques are used in those habitats. It touches on the ethics of handling captured animals too. The Lesson looks at what capturing animals tells us about the environment. Challenge looks at how some animals can be living indicators of pollution levels. These lessons are not board specific and can be used (dependent on ability) from KS3 and KS4.

This is an opportunity to just buy the worksheets from the lessons I have posted. They follow the Biology GCSE Specification (4.6.1) and the Oxford Book Chapter 14. Do NOT buy this if you have bought the bundle as you will already have the worksheets. I have included the Publisher originals as well as PDF copies so people can amend and differentiate should they wish.

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.

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 PowerPoint has 10 multiple choice questions on each of the following aspects, SI UNITS, Kinetic Energy, Power, Gravitational Potential Energy, Efficiency and Specific Heat Capacity. The PowerPoint is interactive and not linear so you can jump to any sets of questions from the home page and do them in any order. If you would like to have a look at what it looks like there is a free demo that just has the SI questions. 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. *If the person who bought the previous version (without the Specific Heat Capacity) leaves a comment with their e-mail, I will send you this newest version)

This is the full PowerPoint, but a free demo version 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 (1/2 m v^2), Wavelength/Frequency (v=ƒ λ) and Momentum (p=mv) HIGHER TIER Only. There are another demos and full powerpoints 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.

This is lesson 5 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 plants compete for to survive. Modeling gives examples of plants and how they get space, light, water. After the modeling there is opportunity for pupils to apply their knowledge to new examples. Look at how some plants adapt to live in very hot environments. Challenge looks at how leaves are different on different plants and how they help them survive.

I have created an assessment analysis tool that can be used for any test up to 20 questions in length. The Excel sheet is primarily designed for science but could be redesigned for other subjects. A sheet is used to enter the year, title, question type, question marks and question description. The % at which levels are given can be changed to suit the year, assessment test in question. All of these will be used to generate a report. The report will have individual information about a students progress in the test. The data generated will be - Total, %, Residual, Level (9-1), Levels of Progress and Progress label. Depending on how well students did for individual questions, the report will highlight which areas (where a student achieved 50% or less of the marks available) students need work on to get them to standard. The test is broken down into the individual science aspects so that staff, pupils and parents can be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of individuals so that areas can be addressed where the standard is below what is expected. TO SEE WITHOUT PAYING - you can download the instructions. I have attached the instructions for the sheet that shows how the sheet works and examples of the generated Mail Merge report. This sheet will not only inform staff, pupils and parents but save time for the staff and be an invaluable tool in identifying areas to help pupils reach their targets.

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.

I have put together a complete system of resources that will allow staff to easily record and monitor the required practical aspect of the new GCSE science that is replacing the old ISA coursework. The resources include Whole Class Practical Tracker, Pupil Cover Sheets for Each of the Practicals and an 'On-The-Day' Practical sheets (again one for each practical, for the teacher to use in class during the practical to record the Apparatus and Technique (AT) skills that each pupil has to be competent with. All of the resources compliment each other, use the key coding for assessment to reduce workload and make things easy. This is just the instructions with some screen shots to see what and how it works. I have mirrored the A'Level AQA Practical Assessment for the AQA GCSE, it just seemed logical so that the systems are similar. The resources outline will be bundled together and can be purchased from my store page. Enjoy.
