Theses 2 resources contain 7 sheets in total which include a help sheet, task sheet, fill in the gaps worksheet, pictures for students to use with their notes, and the need to find extra information. These sheets consolidate the lesson taught and all of the key facts covered.
These would be excellent as mini tests, home works or just for revision purposes before the exam.
These work sheets go in combination with my ppt resource on SA:V ratios and the ppt on gaseous exchange.
You could use them in combination with them.
A 12 slide presentation of AS Biology specification relating to Organisms that cause disease.
Slides include differences in words (Health, disease and pathogens), parasites, transmission of disease, malaria, HIV(aids), TB and a task for the students to complete at the end of the presentation.
It includes scientific words and diagrams which are easy to follow.

This power-point covers the OCR AS Biology spec. for effects of smoking on the body.
It covers, what is present in smoke, long term and short term effects, lung cancer, COPD, asthma, Nicotine, Carbon monoxide, affects on the blood system, including atherosclerosis, thrombosis, stroke, cardiovascular disease, finishing with evidence of disease linked to smoking.
All in a 24 slide power - point. Could be used as class resource or given to students for help with revision.
This GCSE power point explains evolution, Darwin theory and new advances in this field.
There is a nice example using the Peppered Moth and a quick look at new advances using pictures at the end.
I have used this with both High and Low ability students because you can use just the information you need.

This 18 slide ppt is covering the New AQA AS Biology requirements for planning an experiment, processing the data, presenting data, drawing conclusions and evaluating data. It was made so I can use each section when carrying out experiments and showing students - key words, apparatus, equipment and techniques what is required for the New syllabus when carrying out scientific experiments. Can be used over many lessons, or each time an experiment is completed to reinforce standards required.
Each slide(s) covers a specific area required for the scientific experiments:
1. Planning - keywords, apparatus, equipment and techniques
2.How to produce the perfect table
3. Risk assessments
4.Percentages, percentage changes, averages, ratios and SD
5. Perfect graphs, finding rates an
6. Correlation and causation
7. Errors in measurements, minimising errors
8. Evaluation

This is a 9 slide power point on Respiration.
I use this with my Foundation & GCSE Double award class as a class presentation and as a starter for my Triple Group. With Triple groups you will only need to include the chemical equation for respiration and go into more detail with respect to ATP, which is not required for double award.
It includes aerobic and anaerobic respiration, differences between the two, the word equations, release of energy (ATP), oxygen debt and RQ quotient.

This is a power point explaining all of the key terms related to ecosystems with exam terminology and great pictures and diagrams. I uploaded this onto my school system as a homework to test students on all of the key terms and what they mean. I have also used a plenary to lessons and as revision at the end of the unit.
Also, found this really helpful with GCSE foundation/SEN groups; as the term are easily read and the pictures are bright and eye catching.
The work sheet has every key word written and students just fill in the definitions. They can then stick the sheet in the front of their books.
The second worksheet is for a class activity, or a home work and sets students tasks to complete on ecosystems, predator - prey relationships, etc.
The following terms are stated: classification (artificial and natural), evolutionary trees, binomial system (genus & species), habitat, ecosystem, producer, consumer, pyramid of numbers, biomass , predator, prey, equation foe energy transfer in food chains, energy loss through food chains, parasites, mutualism, interspecific and intraspecific relationships, adaptations (specialists, generalists, extremophiles, anatomical and behavioural adaptations).
This 10 slide powerpoint explains what variation is , what is meant by continuous and discontinuous and examples of the factors involved, finishing with the type of graphs students are expected to recognise and be able to produce and explain.
This power point was made specifically for my Foundation & GCSE Double Award students and only covers that strand of the specification.
It is colourful, has pictures and easy to follow key points. An excellent class resource to show the class and for them to make appropriate notes in their exercise books.
A worksheet which can be used as a plenary sheet or to set as a homework.
