I have been a secondary school science teacher for 9 years and have just started using more resources that pupils can use in their interactive notebooks. I have found these are going down very well with pupils and they are using them throughout the year to revise and recap. All my resources are tried and tested and are up to date with the new curriculum at KS3 and KS4.

A powerpoint for active transport.
A worksheet to go with the powerpoint with fill in the gaps and a graph exercise.
Pupils then do a large venn diagram for Active Transport, Osmosis and Diffusion. Pupils cut out the boxes and then stick them into the correct sections.
All answers are on the powerpoint for the sheet and the venn diagram. Then recap of objectives at the end.
Laminate the posters, printed in colour double sided. These can be handed out to share. The pupils get the foldable - cut along the dotted lines and fold along the solid lines. They can then used the laminated sheets to write information under each flap of the foldable.
As a plenary pupils can do the crossword and/or word search for which there is a differentiated version and an answer sheet. A whole lesson on specialised cells sorted!
Key word cards for the whole of the B2 Organisation topic and tick sheets for each section of the B2 unit.
KEY WORD CARDS
Print the sheets off double sided on to card, cut out carefully and you have a full set of key word cards with the words on one side and definition on the other. My kids LOVE these and they have made a massive difference to my results. I use them all the time for vocab. The tick sheets can either be used as you teach it or at the end of the topic for revision.
See my other resources for more key word cards for AQA Biology.
Designed for AQA 2016 Biology but would work for any lesson on plants, plant tissues and organs, leaf cross sections etc.
A differentiated cross word and word search and a foldable as well as tick sheets for the AQA Biology 2016 B2 organisation unit.
All the key words for the B3 module "infection and response"
Print them on card double sided and the key word is on one side with the definition on the other. Very useful for revision, vocal lists and SEN pupils.
Quiz cards for the whole of the B3 infection and response unit of the new AQA scheme of work. They cover every aspect of the specification. They can be printed on card or paper and pupils use them to quiz each other. The correct answers are in bold and underlined.
These are really effective for revision - see my other resources for B1 and B2 and also key word cards.
Happy Revising!
Powerpoint for full lesson on antibiotics and painkillers. Looks at the difference between the drugs.

Full worksheet to go with the powerpoint. 2 Plenary tasks included too.
Aimed at low/middle ability but also good as an intro for high ability.
A tick sheet for each topic of the new AQA GCSE Biology 2016 specification with key words at the bottom. I print them of at the end of each lesson or topic and the kids use them to check their progress. It's good for marking books too as you can see which ones they are having trouble with and then ask a specific question on that objective.
These two documents are for the first two topics - Cell Biology and Organisation
A powerpoint to introduce ideas about how to increase crop yield then a worksheet "box it" for pupils to use with either iPads, computers, the powerpoint or textbooks.
Pupils fill in the boxes with information they have found then compare with each other.
Link up activity as a plenary.
Key word cards for the B4 module of the new 2016 AQA specification - Bioenergetics.
Print the three sheets double sided and then cut out the cards. The key words are on one side and the definition on the other. Very useful for group or independent revision.
These tick sheets are designed to use as a starter, plenary or revision aid for the homeostasis module (B5) of the new AQA GCSE science Biology topic. There is a master copy with all the tick sheets on and a file for each one so you can print them out lesson by lesson. They also have key words at the bottom and are great for seeing which bits kids are struggling with . See my other resources for all the other tick lists.
Relevant for all new 2016 GCSE specification in cell biology
Teach pupils the function of nucleus, ribosomes, mitochondria, membrane, cell wall, chloroplasts, vacuole in eukaryotes and plasmids in prokaryotes.
Print the laminate sheet double sided and laminate for students to use as reference. Print the foldable double sided and fold into three. Cut along the dotted lines to provide flaps for animal, plant and bacterial cells and also flaps for the organelles. Pupils then use these to test each other and learn the parts of the cell.
PowerPoint then goes through each structure.
Crossword and word search for organelles - both with 3 versions differentiated can be used as plenary and there is tick list to check understanding.
Tick sheets for each topic of the unit 3 infection and response 2016 AQA GCSE. This is taken right from the spec, put into student speak and then put onto easy to print tick sheets which pupils can use as they go or at the end of the topic.
Non-specific defence system power point with notes for how to use each slide.
Starter with printout if needed for linking up pathogens. Progresses through how pathogens enter the body with printout of body outline if needed. Then goes on to how diseases are transmitted then how the skin, nose, trachea and bronchi and stomach acid protect us from pathogens. As per AQA spec.
A foldable for these four mechanisms is accasible and fun for all abilities and allows them to have something n their notes that they can use to test themselves and each other.
A differentiated crossword of key words is provided with the answers.
A quick 6 question quiz with answers is on the powerpoint and then a plenary of matching up pairs of key words, again with answers.
Provided is a simple sheet which creates a fun foldable for pupils to revise from. Covers the new AQA GCSE 2016 syllabus for non specific defence systems - skin, nose, stomach, trachea and bronchi. A differentiated crossword, a starter sheet and a powerpoint for the whole lesson.
Quiz cards for the cell biology B1 unit and the Organs and Organ System B2 unit for the new 2016 AQA GCSE - Can be used with any level. Cards can be printed single sided and used by pupils to quiz each other. The correct answers and underlined and in bold.
I find these cards so effective with my classes. The kids learn all the answers for these cards so quickly then move onto the key word cards (see my other resources)
I will be making more of these for the rest of the biology modules so keep a look out!
These are general biology key word cards, print them double sided then cut out the cards. The key words are on one side and the definitions on the back. They are brilliant for all sorts.
Pupils can test each other, test themselves. Some of my pupils have blank cards and draw images to go with each term then play pairs with them. They are very versatile and very effective.
I use them with KS3 but they could be used with any year group/key stage.
A poster with key terms nucleus, diploid, haploid, chromosome, gene, allele. Then a worksheet where pupils fill it with information, cut along the dotted lines and staple as instructed to make a revision foldable.
All the key words for the new 2016 AQA B5 topic on Homeostasis and Response. Just print onto card double sided and the cards have the key word on one side and definition on the other. Words for higher tier have (HT) on them and are in italic.
See my other resources for the other biology modules and tick sheets which go with these key words
