Exam questions on transition metals designed for AQA and OCR exam boards complete with mark schemes. The questions have been chosen across both boards and include a range of questions, from simple to recall to deliberately chosen challenging questions.

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.

Included is a fairly difficult and challenging end of topic tests for student to attempt. Questions included are a mixture from old spec papers and my own questions (which are very difficult!). Test is designed to stretch the high achievers while also ensuring basic foundations of knowledge are there; an application heavy paper in style of the challenging demands of the new specification exams.

Included are fairly difficult aplication Qs used as an end of topic test on ecology including the mark scheme. Ecology is a topic students often fail at in exams and this paper is a combination of difficult questions and some really difficult questions i have composed myself, with a heavy focus on context, application and practical reasoning.

The first of a few more to come in regards to the new spec a level AQA Biology. Each ‘set’ will include the powerpoint plus some fairly challenging exam questions in lieu of the difficulty of the new spec and the mark scheme. The questions have been designed by me mainly

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.

Included is a fairly difficult and challenging end of topic tests for student to attempt. Questions included are a mixture from old spec papers and my own questions. Test is designed to stretch the high achievers while also ensuring basic an application heavy paper in style of the challenging demands of the new specification exams. I’ve attached the mark scheme and the grade boundaries i used. Please do download and review! I would appreciate your feedback :)

Predicted paper 2 for summer 2022 exams for (AQA) A Level Biology based on the advance information. There are a plethora of self-made challenging application/data analysis questions with relevant maths and statistical analysis. Advance Information: 3.6.4 Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment • 3.5.2 Respiration (including Required Practical 9) • 3.6.2 Nervous coordination • 3.5.3 Energy and ecosystems • 3.5.4 Nutrient cycles • 3.7.1 Inheritance • 3.8.2 Gene expression is controlled by a number of features • 3.5.1 Photosynthesis

For Christmas, i made students complete a “12 days of Christmas” revision booklet to consolidate our topic on recombinant DNA Technology. Equally, this booklet can easily be transferred into homework tasks for students studying the topic or even used in lessons for students to record their notes in. The booklet is full of practise summary questions, learning tasks and exam questions to help refine students’ learning. Please do leave a review if you do download this! Thank you :)

Two similar practical techniques; resource contains a detailed lesson with AfL exploring how each works, their uses, and how calculations for the rate of respiration/transpiration are deduced. Further, there are model answers to common questions testing respirometers and potometer use that have come up in the past! Also included are relevant exam questions and mark schemes for students to test their knowledge.

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

A challenge exam paper with many application questions and data analysis on homeostasis and the kidneys. Designed for AQA but can easily be adapted for any exam board.

A recently judged ‘Outstanding’ lesson on Angular rotational momentum. The lessons use the context of ballet/swan lake and the physics behind the ‘fouette’ performed by the Black Swan during the performance. The lesson also looks at moments of inertia, comparisons between angular and linear momentum and calculations involving angular rotational momentum.

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!

This booklet was designed for biology students to complete during the Christmas holidays; a “12 days of Christmas” booklet with tasks and exam practise on the different areas within the “Exchange with the Environment” topic of AQA AS Biology. The booklet is designed as a revision booklet for student to recap their learning but it can easily be changed into an in-lesson learning booklet to support teaching materials. There are tasks for each day staring with the 25th December. (!) As mentioned before, there is lots of necessary exam practise with challenging application-style questions. The booklet was given to students on the last day of term, wrapped up as a present! Students were instructed to open this on Christmas. What a great present! Please do download and review :)

The resources enclosed are a concise and cohesive powerpoint exploring the topics below and 35 page booklet of exam questions and further challenging qustions specific to topics pitched at the top end. These resources are a cohesive COLLECTION of different pieces of work from across the years and are thus relevant for a variety of exam boards, aimed at GCSE. However, could be sensible for a more able KS3 class or an applied science A Level class. TOPICS: Speed = distance/time Difference between speed and velocity Acceleration = change in velocity/time Distance time and velocity time graphs. Calculations involving gradients and area under curves. Average speed.

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.

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.

THREE FULL LESSONS on The Kidneys with detailed notes, explanations and activities coupled with tricky application-heavy exam questions and two fun and engaging tasks involving colouring (of course) and play doh! Also included is a “track your progress” activity" which measures students progress on their knowledge of the Kidneys throughout the lessons. Please do leave a review if downloaded. Designed for AQA but relevant for pretty much any spec.

Lots of self made organic synthesis questions for A Level Chemistry. Designed for OCR but can be adapted for any exam board. The questions vary in degree of challenge, from simpler recall to more complex application of organic principles. Mark schemes / answers included for all questions.
