A-Level Biology - All HW for Mass transport topic - Flipped style
Good structure for flipped learning, especially for beginners and the kids really liked the consistency, not just “research the next lesson”.
Set of linking homeworks for the mass transport topic in the AQA A-Level Biology course.
Structure is 10 short answer questions on a lesson on the left. Then a suggested YouTube link (and description) and Website link (and description) for further research about the next lesson.
Includes:
Two blank templates to use for the future
The first name is what the questions are about and the second is what the research is on:
Tissue fluid / Haemoglobin
Haemoglobin / Oxygen dissociation curves
Oxygen dissociation curves / Xylem and Phloem
Xylem and Phloem / Mass Flow Hypothesis
Mass Flow Hypothesis / Transpiration
Transpiration / Limiting water loss
Kahoot - AQA A-level Biology - Heart and lungs
Use Kahoot to assess students knowledge and get feedback on the form of excel spreadsheet.
Use regularly on a variety of topics to gain ongoing data on students progress.

Forms quizzes for AQA Biology - Biological molecules topic
Templates for you to duplicate and use through Forms or set through Teams.
Great for flipped learning from September - mostly self marking, just have to give feedback for longer answer questions.
Each one follows the general format of:
Upload your notes on Carbohydrates from your text books and the link below:
WEBLINK
Answer the multiple choice questions that follow the video,
Answer the longer question at the end,
Write a target based on the task.
You will have to change the Theme as it is our schools logo.
Have been really useful during lock down and could be good to share - I think I have included the right links to let you use these correctly. Let me know if there are any issues.
If you haven’t used Forms through Teams before you have to set the task, then go into the Teams version of that “quiz” and reset the File upload question so that it creates a SharePoint area to save it. If that makes no sense, maybe replace the File upload questions with something like “Have you spent 20 minutes + making notes?” and a Yes or No tick box question.
Reproduction in plants KS3
Lesson on reproduction in plants at KS3 level.
Includes questions for a YouTube video in printable format.

KS3 and KS4 generic assessment template
Can use for any subject to structure an assessment for KS3 (A5) or KS4 (A4).
Fill out the main box in the middle with a variety of questions (5 marks for KS3 and 10 marks for KS4 - can change) and get students to identify whether it is peer, self or teacher assessed.
Space for target, GRAFT, DIRT at bottom.
