This booklet covers the Ecology topic at KS4, but maybe suitable for some KS3. It contains 15 pages where on each page is a keyword and definition, an image, example and some simple questions and a simple extension question. It also contains a Power Point which circles key points to show the students where to look in their booklets and help them understand the ideas and processes. Also included are two interactive activities, one on population changes in an ecosystem and one on land use and effects on food production. These activities are simple, but challenge the student to give reasons for their choices. This booklet also has project activities on each page for students to work on home at. All the information is there in the booklet so that at the end they have a complete booklet to take home and hopefully revise from. To see if this resource is for you, i have produced a free booklet on infection and response (with a focus on the Corona Virus) here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/infection-and-response-to-the-corona-virus-covid-19-booklet-12270746 Other booklets are available in my shop (see link below) Please check out my shop for more free and paid resources: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Thank you.

This KS3 biology resource can be used as a homework, end of topic revision sheet or cover lesson that has questions related to animal and plant cells and reproduction, microscopes, fitness and diet. It has over 40 questions linked to Bloom’s taxonomy and Multiple Intelligences. Teacher’s can choose activities or homeworks for the class linked to ability and/or learning style, or let students choose themselves!

I have now added a sheet explaining how this can be done at home by students themselves. This KS4 AQA Required Practical covers the planning, carrying out and analysing of results with 9-1 graded exam style questions. It lasts approx 2 hours. The ppt carries the students through all aspects of the practical including hypothesis, variables, safety, fair testing, method, analysing results and evaluating the validity. It finishes with exam style questions individually graded to assess students. Resource includes: 30+ slide ppt to guide the students through the practical (with answers and examples) Two page student method/practical sheet that follows the slides Two page guide sheet (worth £1.50 from my shop) Apparatus list for technician Learning Objectives on each slide linked to AQA specification It is available in a bundle with 8 other “home use” required practicals here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/nine-required-practicals-for-home-use-12461001 If you would like to see a free sample similar to this before you buy, the Osmosis one is free here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/updated-osmosis-required-practical-planning-with-graded-with-9-1-exam-style-questions-and-answers-12181019 All the biology practicals are available as a bundle here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/all-biology-planning-practicals-with-graded-questions-and-answer-12220999 If you just want the questions and answers, they are available as a bundle here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/biology-required-practical-worksheets-with-graded-9-1-exam-style-questions-and-answers-12181051 Please comment if you have found this useful If you would like more required practical resources (or any other resources) free and paid, please check out my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Thank you.

This is a booklet that students can complete at home about the science behind the corona virus (covid 19). Each page contains keywords, diagrams, explanations, questions and extension activities and now project activities such as research and making posters/leaflets. It explains the different types of microorganisms that cause disease and the effects on the body. It explains how our body fights disease caused by viruses (and bacteria) and how a drug/vaccine may be developed. It is aimed at KS3 11-14 year olds, higher ability Y5 and 6 and lower ability KS4. The document comes as a pdf for the students to download from your server, or as a ppt for you to make any changes or add any extra task sheets to keep our students learning during this time.

I have now added a sheet explaining how this can be done at home by students themselves. This KS4 Biology resource is a two lesson resource containing a ppt to take students all the way through the Osmosis Required Practical. It includes a student worksheet (blank one and one with model answers) and 9-1 graded exam style questions with model answers adapted from AQA past papers to test their learning. It is the complete package for the osmosis required practical. This resource comes with: 32 ppt slide to project in lessons Word and pdf versions of the students sheet and question sheets. Answer sheets to allow the students to self or peer assess. Each sheet assesses student’s skills in interpreting the data, remembering the Health and Safety and suggesting ways of improving the experiment. Key concepts covered are variables, types of errors, risk assessment etc Questions have been adapted from AQA past paper questions to help the students become familiar with the type and style of questions asked. Each question slide has Blooms Style Learning Objectives for whole class focused learning. On the top right hand corner of the sheet the students can identify areas where they need to improve so that teachers can easily see which section they are having trouble with.
