Comprehensive notes on all 18 Core Practicals for the Edexcel A Level Biology - Specification A (SNAB), , produced by a Biological Natural Sciences Student at the University of Cambridge.
Contains details of methodology for every practical
Where applicable, the following is also discussed:
control variables
identification of independent and dependent variables
any calculations and equations required
explanation of results using key biological principles
justification of method/equipment
sources of error
ethical considerations
safety issues
use of aseptic technique

Tailored for the AQA Geography GCSE (9-1), these revision-ready case study summary documents list all the facts you need to know in a format which is perfect for final revision. Case studies are essential for many AO1 marks, and must be included in all 6 and 9 mark extended response questions.
A perfect way of learning case study detail is knowing what you need to know. This sounds strange, but if you are aware that you know 10 facts about the volcanic eruption of Eyjafjallajökull, then recalling these becomes much easier.
Case Studies for which Detail is Included:
The Challenge of Natural Hazards: Eruptions of Eyjafjalajökull and Montserrat, Hurricane Katrina, Evidence for Extreme Weather, Boscastle Flooding, COP21
The Living World: Hedgerow Ecosystem, The Amazon Rainforest, Managing Biomes, Thar Desert
Physical Landscapes in the UK (Rivers and Coasts): Dorset Coastline, Lyme Regis, River Tees
Urban Issues and Challenges: Rio de Janeiro, London, Curitiba
Changing Economic World: Jamaica’s Tourism, India’s Economic Balance, Nike and Coca Cola (TNCs), Nigeria - Aid and Development, Quarrying
The Challenge of Resource Management: Fracking, TAPL, Solar Cookers
