These are a pain in the backside to learn, but having them in a handy format helps! These template cards are designed to be printed and given to students to fill in. Ideal for any exam board. I have put them in word form so can be edited.

The practical component has become more and more stressed in the newer spec exams so i have compiled together hundreds of practical based exam questions along with their mark schemes from a variety of exam boards.

A 70 page booklet with concise but detailed notes on each of the AS topic areas from the mole to inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry and then finally organic chemistry, along with the required AS Practicals with detailed notes on methods, calculations and addressing common questions, with an exploration on uncertainity thrown in for good measure. This booklet takes a “page per sub-topic” approach offering detailed yet simple to follow and understand notes along with pictures, colours and examples. Guidance is also given on the tricky mathematical questions that AS students struggle with detailed step-by-step approaches to scenarios. Further, the are addressed in depth, from This is beyond useful for not only revision but for teaching. I have attached it as the ppt format so that it can be edited as required.

SIX FULL LESSONS on the AQA A Level Biology Nervous Coordination Topic. Lessons explore hormonal and nervous coordination, neurone structure, salatory conduction, action potentials, synapses and finally muscles and muscle contraction. Lessons include fun and engaging activities such as modelling muscle contraction and exploring the effect of drugs on synapses along with research on neuromuscular fatigue exercises and neurodegenerative diseases (excellent exam preparation material!) along with detailed, concise and fully explained notes on a challenging topic, and relevant exam questions along with some very challenging application questions. Please do leave a review if downloaded.

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.

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!

With the demands of the new specification on practical skills and particularly methodology with Chemistry, i have compiled together a concise practical booklet on all the required practicals and the skills translated from there that will be assessed. These condensed notes are perfect for students and include detailed but concise methods to score full marks. Please do leave a review if you chose to buy.

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!

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.

Absolute plethora of over 1000 questions on ecology and mark schemes! Students often struggle with ecology due to failing to apply any common sense reasoning so it is beneficial and logical for students to practise answering questions on ecology.

Attached is a document containing difficult ecology and environment questions with mark schemes included. The activity works on the basis of students answering the questions then peer assessing rotating from one station to the other. Stations contain the questions. This can, of course, be used in a billion other ways where students could relay question sheets and then add to the answer already there in a different colour every minute and so on forth.

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.

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 :)

Over 100s of questions on Exchange with the Environment for the new spec AQA Biology. Mark schemes included.

Over 100s of questions on transport across membranes for the new spec A Level Biology. Mark schemes included.

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

Over 100 questions on biological molecules and nucleic acids. The nucleic acids questions are less so and constrained to DNA and RNA as majority of questions link this part of the spec to Variation (so they’re all in there). Mark schemes 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

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.

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
