A huge 60 page booklet on each of the required practicals for AQA A Level Biology including relevant exam questions, methods and techniques, answers and CPAC assessment trackers to track student progress, along with mathematical development opportunities, uncertainties and percentage error, statistical tests and reasoning, magnification and also biological drawings. The questions are based on research from many many many papers and include model responses that will guarantee full marks. I have also included a new practical, “practical X”, which looks at liming factors in photosynthesis and requires students to research and plan their own method for this. There is also a very tricky question on insect dissection that I have made and scattered throughout are challenging application questions in the style of the new specification exams. These are all contained in a nice, concise and consistent format making it clear to students, teachers and assessors. (Practical 12 is NOT included as this is a research skill at the digression of the school).

This is a challenging, application-heavy “mini mock” paper is aimed for AS Biology students for use towards the end of the year to test their knowledge and ability to handle tricky questions. The paper is also useful for A Level Biology Students to use as revision for the AQA Paper 1 (which will be all AS material). This is designed for the AQA specification but is probably also relevant for other A Level Biology exam boards. A suggested mark scheme is also included.

Uncertainity and percentage error calculations are new to the AQA specification in Biology and something which will be assessed a lot more moving forward. These questions can be used for any exam board on the whole and explore what uncertainity is and means, the concept of resolution and plenty of exam questions for students to try.

With the increased demand of practical questions in the new spec papers, i have put together a booklet on the required practicals which contain concise, detailed notes for each practical AND common questions that i have found from my vast research through endless papers! Included is also an application question for each practical along with a challenging insect dissection question i have made. Please do leave a review if you buy this!

Heavy focus on A02/A03 (application and data analysis/maths/stats) in the questions on the paper, many of which have been self-made. List of topics: 3.5.1 Photosynthesis • 3.2.2 All cells arise from other cells (including Required Practical 2) • 3.8.4 Gene technologies allow the study and alteration of gene function allowing better understanding of organism function and the design of new industrial and medical processes • 3.6.2 Nervous coordination • 3.3.4 Mass transport • 3.4.2 DNA and protein synthesis • 3.1.4 Proteins • 3.6.1 Stimuli, both internal and external, are detected and lead to a response

This 70 page booklet contains exam questions and explanations of calculations required as part of the AQA A Level Biology specification. This is easily adaptable for any exam board. The following areas are covered: Units, stats tests and and standard deviations, standard form, percentages, uncertainity, use of calculators to find and use power, exponential and logarithmic functions, order of magnitude calculations, y=mx+c, determination of the intercept of a graph, tangents and rate and finally geometry (area, volume etc). Also included are the answers and the booklets are in pdf and word form for easy editing. The booklet can be used in many ways; it could be given to students to complete as a whole (with answers published on the VLE system/printed for students), or a page could be given a day as the starter of each lesson, or a page for homework, or teachers can simply select pages needed from the massive, massive list to use for explanations and so on forth.

Challenging application and practical-based questions designed for AQA A Level Biology. These have all been created by me and designed to match the difficulties of the exam. Suggested mark schemes included.

**PAPER 1 style full length mock exam, designed for AQA but easily adjustable to other exam boards e.g. OCR Paper 1 from AQA A Level Biology covers AS topics, such as… PAPER CONTENT LIST: Transport across cell membranes Antibodies and antigens HIV DNA, mitosis and cancer Mass transport - cardiac cycle, transpiration, translocation Digestion and absorption Biological molecules Insect gas exchange Topics assessed via range of recall, application and practical-based questions. Mark scheme included.

This folder comes with 10 lessons for each of the parts of the stimulus and response topic, including relevant exam practise and also required practical 10 alongside practical skills to do with IAA - from responses and reflexes to receptors and finally control of the heart rate. The following parts of the spec are covered: • Organisms increase their chance of survival by responding to changes in their environment. In flowering plants, specific growth factors move from growing regions to other tissues, where they regulate growth in response to directional stimuli. • The effect of different concentrations of indoleacetic acid (IAA) on cell elongation in the roots and shoots of flowering plants as an explanation of gravitropism and phototropism in flowering plants. • Taxes and kineses as simple responses that can maintain a mobile organism in a favourable environment. • The protective effect of a simple reflex, exemplified by a three neurone simple reflex. • AT h Students could design and carry out investigations into the effects of indoleacetic acid on root growth in seedlings. • Required practical 10: Investigation into the effect of an environmental variable on the movement of an animal using either a choice chamber or a maze. • The Pacinian corpuscle should be used as an example of a receptor to illustrate that: • receptors respond only to specific stimuli • stimulation of a receptor leads to the establishment of a generator potential. • The basic structure of a Pacinian corpuscle. • Deformation of stretch-mediated sodium ion channels in a Pacinian corpuscle leads to the establishment of a generator potential. • The human retina in sufficient detail to show how differences in sensitivity to light, sensitivity to colour and visual acuity are explained by differences in the optical pigments of rods and cones and the connections rods and cones make in the optic nerve. • Myogenic stimulation of the heart and transmission of a subsequent wave of electrical activity. • The roles of the sinoatrial node (SAN), atrioventricular node (AVN) and Purkyne tissue in the bundle of His. • The roles and locations of chemoreceptors and pressure receptors and the roles of the autonomic nervous system and effectors in controlling heart rate. • AT h Students could design and carry out an investigation into the effect of a named variable on human pulse rate. • MS 2.2 Students could use values of heart rate ® and stroke volume (V) to calculate cardiac output (CO), using the formula CO = R × V

Over 100s of questions on enzymes for the A Level specification! Mark schemes included.

This resource is invaluable considering the sparsity of new specification papers. I often produce my own end of topic tests and decided to produce a whole exam paper. I have also produced a sample Paper 3 which can be found and bought. This is a demanding and challenging paper designed to stretch candidates. A suggested mark scheme has been included. Please do leave a review if downloaded!

Here is a full 91 mark exam paper including the mark scheme with questions created by me. The test is designed to be challenging and in the light of the recent papers and how tricky some of the questions have been this will be good preparation! Designed for AQA but applicable to other exam boards.
