This is a sheet with example cell diagrams from all of the 5 kingdoms as well as a virus diagram. Pupils have to complete examples from each kingdom and produce a Venn Diagram to show what the cells/kingdoms and viruses have in common (or not?!).

In this lesson students will learn about about how the contributions of various scientists lead to our current understanding of the structure of DNA. The resource includes: Lesson video Lesson checklist Lesson worksheet Video to self-check the worksheet This is the third of 20 lessons I have created. They are based around IB Biology Topic 3, but are appropriate for other syllabuses.

In this lesson students will learn about the structure of DNA in more detail and you should be able to draw structural diagrams of the different parts of the molecule The resource includes: Lesson video Lesson checklist Lesson worksheet Video to self-check the worksheet This is the second in a series of 20 lessons I have created. They are based around IB Biology Topic 3, but are appropriate for other syllabuses.

In this lesson students will learn that mitochondria and chloroplasts also have DNA. They will also discover how eukaryotic cells first came to have these organelles The resource includes: Lesson video Lesson checklist Lesson worksheet Video to self-check the worksheet This is the fifth of 20 lessons I have created. They are based around IB Biology Topic 3, but are appropriate for other syllabuses.

In this lesson students will learn about about how the enormous molecules of DNA fit inside microscopic cells.

I lead through a heart dissection with pupils dissecting hearts in pairs. They have to take measurements and compare left/right sides and arteries/veins filling in this worksheet. This leads them to write conclusions about the differences between left/right sides and arteries and veins.

A cover sheet for pupil assessments for AF2. It includes space for teacher comments, a level and pupils write their own improvements. VERY useful. I modified a resource I found on TES named something like APP I can checklist but I cant find it now. Thank you to the person who did that and contact me if you see this.

This is a colouring and labelling activity where pupils have to label a life line which is to scale adding key vocabulary (childhood, adolescence, fertilisation etc.). It is differentiated into three different levels.

Here is the link to the upd8 website with the pupil activity. Pupils complete the activity in groups where they decide who they would like to give face transplants to. I assess my pupils in AF1 for this, they complete the word documents attached, there are 2 levels.

I tell my puils to research a particular dog breed. I give the poster frame for those who need it. They then answer questions for AF2 on the worksheet which has a level ladder.

Pupils take coloured pieces of paper of each of the nutrients. they pass to stations for each part of the digestive system with instructions. They cut the fats, proteins, and carbohydrates with scissors labeled with names of enzyme. In the small intestine they push the pieces through holes in a box labelled blood. In the end they deposit the fibre in a toilet (i draw it on the desk). The second document is an evaluation of the model, i use it in KS3 to assess for AF1.

These are two spreadsheets I have made for tracking in KS3. One is by unit which allows you to put in NC grades e.g. 4+,4-,3 for various pieces of work in a unit aswell as effort grades (in my school this is 1 to 5). The other one is by criteria where you only put in NC grades for pieces of work for up to 6 criteria. At the end it gives averages for each criteria, the 6th one has a 50% weighting. With either spreadsheet just hide any columns that you don´t need. The golden rules sheet is something I made for the staff who had lass experience with Excel.

I ask my pupils to make a cell model for homework. In class they complete this sheet to evaluate the model. It has a level ladder and questions.

A checklist pupils can use when writing lab reports. If they do everything they should get a level 5.

I put these cover sheets on pupils' lab reports when they hand them in and tick the statements they achieve. There is space to put the level they get and a teacher comment as well as improvements for the next piece of work. VERY useful please download. I modified a resource I found on TES named something like APP I can checklist but I cant find it now. Thank you to the person who did that and contact me if you see this.

Here is a challenge homework sheet I prepared for my Year 6 class for the inheritance and evolution topic. They choose one idea and make a poster or leaflet to show their understanding of the topic. This could be used as a challenge/extension for higher ability pupils.

This is an activity where pupils cut out sugars, phosphates and bases and stick them together to make the structure of DNA and RNA. It can be used to illustrate nucleotide structure as well at the DNA/RNA Molecule.

Here is a simple sheet with the word equations of all formulas required for the 2015 and 2016 Coordinated Sciences IGCSE exams.

This 8 page long worksheet was made for last minute revision for IGCSE Coordinated Science for pupils to go over the formulas. They are mostly physics, but also biology for magnification and chemistry mole calculations. There is a space for them to write the formula, an example question and a space for them to do their calculations. Those highlighted grey correspond to the Exended tier of IGCSE Coordinated science 0654. Please note I did not write the questions, they have been taken/borrowed from TES contributors, BBC bitesize and other revision websites.

In this lesson In this lesson, students will learn about the basics of genetics and inheritance. I will teach about the structure of DNA, what is, and why it is important for living organisms. A lesson introducing the genetics topic at post 16 level. It recaps basic information.
