I am a science teacher in Liverpool and have been head of department and senior leadership. I have put resources on here that I know will be beneficial to both individual teachers and middle managers. I'm aware of the time constraints and the resources are to reduce workload as well as inform.

Variation & Evolution WORKSHEETS ONLY - (4.6.1) (B14.1-10)

(0)
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.
AQA GCSE Biology - Genetics & Evolution Bundle

AQA GCSE Biology - Genetics & Evolution Bundle

10 Resources
This bundle consists of 10 lessons... 1. The History of Genetics (Mendel) 2. Theories of Evolution 3. Accepting Darwin's Ideas 4. Evolution & Speciation 5. Evidence for Evolution 6. Fossils & Extinction 7. More About Extinction (Dinosaurs) 8. Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria 9. Classification 10. New Systems of Classification (Evolutionary Trees) This set of 10 lessons that cover 4.6.3 & 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 PowerPoint has a starter that leads on from the previous lessons learning. The student worksheet incorporates the learning in the lesson. (I have included the Publisher originals so the worksheets can be differentiated if necessary). 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.

Interdependence CLF Lesson & Resources - Lesson 1 - KS4 Biology

(0)
This is lesson 1 of 7 lessons that can be used in part or whole to teach the biology topic of interdependence in animals and plants. These lessons are not board specific and can be used (dependent on ability) from KS3 and KS4. Lesson 1 - Interdependence & Biodiversity (THIS LESSON) THESE ARE ALSO AVAILABLE TO BUY Lesson 2 - Sampling Plants (Quadrats) Lesson 3 - Abundance of Animals (sampling techniques) Lesson 4 - Competition in Animals 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.
Formative Assessment Analysis & Mail Merge Report Generator

Formative Assessment Analysis & Mail Merge Report Generator

(0)
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.

Adaptations in Animals (Predators & Prey) CLF Lesson & Resources - Lesson 6 - KS4 BIOLOGY

(0)
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.
