There are two worksheets:
covers the structure and function of a leaf.
cover photosynthesis and factors that affect photosynthesis.
This worksheet can be used for pupils on the GCSE/IGCSE course. It can also be used to help A-level pupils review prior learning.
Worksheet comes in PDF form.
Matches the AQA A-level biology specification on kerboodle.
Intended to track assessment marks at A-level
You can manipulate the grade boundary to your schools needs simple fill in the % marks column and the spread sheet will generate the grade.

Designed for the new specification AQA GCSE course (Spec point 4.5.1.2) but can be modified for other exam boards.
11 slides covering Contact and non-contact forces.
By the end of the powerpoint students would have covered:
-Define what forces are
-State the units for forces
-Be able to explain the differences between contact and non-contact forces.
Designed for the new specification AQA GCSE course but can be modified for other exam boards.
22 slides covering Microscopy:
By the end of the powerpoint students would have covered (includes a required practical):
Students should be able to:
understand how microscopy techniques have developed over time
explain how electron microscopy has increased understanding of sub-cellular structures.
Limited to the differences in magnification and resolution.
An electron microscope has much higher magnification and resolving power than a light microscope. This means that it can be used to study cells in much finer detail. This has enabled biologists to see and understand many more sub-cellular structures.
Students should be able to carry out calculations involving magnification, real size and image size using the formula:
magnification = size of image
size of real object
Students should be able to express answers in standard form if appropriate.
Required practical activity 1: use a light microscope to observe, draw and label a selection of plant and animal cells. A magnification scale must be included.
Designed for the new specification AQA GCSE course but can be modified for other exam boards.
27 slides covering Monoclonal antibodies
By the end of the powerpoint students would have covered:
4.3.2.1 Producing monoclonal antibodies
4.3.2.2 Uses of monoclonal antibodies

13 slides covering Plant specialisation.
By the end of the powerpoint students would have covered:
-Describe how specialised cells in a plant carry out a particular function

20 slides covering the use of hormones to treat infertility:
Describe what is meant by infertility and suggest reasons for it
Describe the steps used in IVF
Describe how FSH and IVF can be used to help treat infertility
Evaluate from the perspective of patients and doctors the methods of treating infertility
Designed for the new specification AQA GCSE course but can be modified for other exam boards.
16 slides covering Osmosis .
By the end of the powerpoint students would have covered:
Water may move across cell membranes via osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane.
Students should be able to:
use simple compound measures of rate of water uptake
use percentages
calculate percentage gain and loss of mass of plant tissue.
Required practical activity 3: investigate the effect of a range of concentrations of salt or sugar solutions on the mass of plant tissue.
Designed for the new specification AQA GCSE( covers spec point 4.1.1 ) course but can be modified for other exam boards.
19 slides covering Culturing microorganisms:
-State how bacteria multiple
-Describe how to prepare an uncontaminated culture using aseptic technique
-Calculate cross-sectional areas of colonies
-Calculate the number of bacteria in a population after a certain time if given the mean division time
-Required practical activity 2: investigate the effect of antiseptics or antibiotics on bacterial growth using agar plates and measuring zones of inhibition.
Designed for the new specification AQA GCSE( covers spec point 4.5.3.4 ) course but can be modified for other exam boards.
23 slides covering Hormones in human reproduction:
By the end of the powerpoint students would have covered:
4.5.3.4 Hormones in human reproduction
Students should be able to describe the roles of hormones in human reproduction, including the menstrual cycle.
During puberty reproductive hormones cause secondary sex characteristics to develop.
Oestrogen is the main female reproductive hormone produced in the ovary. At puberty eggs begin to mature and one is released approximately every 28 days. This is called ovulation.
Testosterone is the main male reproductive hormone produced by the testes and it stimulates sperm production.
Several hormones are involved in the menstrual cycle of a woman.
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) causes maturation of an egg in the ovary.
Luteinising hormone (LH) stimulates the release of the egg.
Oestrogen and progesterone are involved in maintaining the uterus lining.
(HT only) Students should be able to explain the interactions of FSH, oestrogen, LH and progesterone, in the control of the menstrual cycle.
(HT only) Students should be able to extract and interpret data from graphs showing hormone levels during the menstrual cycle.
Contains examination questions
Alternative starter question for triple or combined science students.
