I sell resources to help you save time. As teachers we want to spend as much time making the lessons we spend with students as inspiring as possible. Therefore less time planning and marking, more time doing!

I am a A Level Biology Teacher who has taught the AQA specification for over 11 years.
These are SIMPLE but COMPLETE lessons, lasting roughly 50 minutes to 1 hour.
They follow the standard form of lessons complete with the following;
Starters
Activities
Answers
AfL - with answers
Exam Skills and Practice
Plenaries
They are not formatted with any particular design so that you can copy and paste them into your school’s powerpoint layouts.
This is a part of a series of lessons I am making, based on the idea that when you download resources from TES you often have to reformat to your school’s own powerpoint layouts. This can be very time consuming as often the layout significantly changes. These are made on the basic layout of ppts so that there is minimal disruption to the layout.
They are not designed to present straight to student’s but a much cheaper alternative - they are for you to make your own.

Need a way of differentiating work in a revision lesson? Look no further. Student led differentiation on one 'plate' with our Dinner Menus. Students complete the appetizer together then select a starter, main, and have the option of a dessert. Starters are also sub-differentiated (low, medium and high) and a range of different mini activities for the main. Really useful, really simple and really really effective. Best bit? It is all done for you, no work necessary.
This revision session has several knowledge and application tasks for an approx. 1 hour lesson. Students can complete each task together or on their own, mark their own work and make improvements. It is linked to the AQA 2016 Science GCSE and does not require you to print out any resources (unless you want to). All on the ppt slide!
