Use this resource to schedule the new iGCSE 9-1 Biology Curriculum over 2 years.
This provides the Learning objectives for Double (Paper 1 only) or Triple Biology (Papers 1 & 2).
The roadmap shows how to timetable and schedule it all into the terms while leaving adequate space for revision.
Hope it is helpful.
I also have resources that summarise chapters onto single A3 pages to assist students with their learning; please check out my available resources. :-)
I know how frustrating and time consuming it is to try to find resources for your students.
I have downloaded all the Biology Sample Papers and Exam papers issued by Edexcel for the 9-1 Papers along with their markschemes and placed them on TES for you.
I have no copyright on these and they are freely available elsewhere, as well as through Edexcel as individual downloads that you need to save one by one, I just felt it easier to put them all in one place for you, as a single download.
With sensible names.
I will keep updating this download as the years go by for you.
If you would like other resources, please do check out my shop.
I have summary sheets, A3 pages of in-class summary activities and even the whole curriculum onto question-and-answer revision cards so that your students can quiz each other as lesson starters, or make their own cards at home to aid their revision.

Hello everyone!
I made this page for all iGCSE scientists for their Physics exams.
The resource includes all the formulae and equations needed for Paper 1 and Paper 2, and also includes the UNITS that students need to learn.
I wasn’t able to find anything suitable for the new scheme, so I borrowed a layout idea from a previously available resource on here and made my own page from scratch.
Included in the download you’ll get the colour version and the black and white version.
Enjoy it - I hope it helps you!
Hi all!
This is a revision mat I created to help my students summarise their work bit by bit to try to keep them on top of the enormous content of the new 9-1 2016 curriculum. Hopefully it will help with revision as it is a great little activity.
I contains a mixture of diagrams, calculations, questions, definitions, formulae that are needed and a touch of fun.
I will be adding further resources as I create them, this one goes up to page 23 of the OCR textbook.
Keep me posted on how it goes! :-)
Every equation in the new specification laid out on to revision cards for you.
Print them back to back or stick together if you wish.
These equation cards will help you to learn the equations you need to know, and the ones that are given (because you’ll be given some in words only - you need to study the abbreviated formulae).
You will need to know every unit of each quantity, whether the equation is one you need to know or it is one you are given.
Happy revising! :-)
There are a number of facts that are just expected to be known for the Physics exam.
Like the value for atmospheric pressure (100000Pa) or the value for the gravitational field strength on Earth or the specific heat capacity for water… These are required knowledge to be able to do many of the calculations, and if they are not known, easy marks get thrown away.
I have gone through all the textbooks and past papers and found and listed ALL the facts that need to be known for an exam, and then popped them on to handy revision cards for you, so that you can pass them out to your class, create a starter activity where they match the cards, or you can make a set for your GCSE-aged child to help them revise.
Have fun!
This is a table containing the majority of chemical formulae that students will come across in GCSE.
I use this table for both my Chemistry GCSE students and my BTEC Applied Science students to get them used to the chemical formulae and their written names.
I also challenge my higher ability Year 9s with this page.
On the second page the table has been completed: This page I use for a card sort for pairs of students.
The second page can also be used to create revision cards by folding them on the middle line and gluing them together.
Have fun and happy learning!
This resource is a collection I have made over the years of 12 GCSE Chemistry questions for students to calculate the mass of reactants and products.
Use this resource to assist students through the calculations, or as a piece of homework to ensure they understand the work.
Questions can be used in tests, as starters, as plenaries, etc.
This is a gem of a resource: it has 36 elements of the periodic table: their symbol along with their name.
This will assist students to learn the names and symbols of elements quickly and easily.
An extension to this could be getting students to put the elements in order, or to place the elements into their groups, or, for older students place the elements into their combining power sets.
Have fun!
This is a fantastic resource to round up the Year 7 Human Reproduction topic.
The resource can either be used as Quiz questions to save a bit of time; or as a board game if you wanted the students to have a bit more fun.
Use at the end of the topic and combine with other Quiz cards at the end of the Year for a full-year revision syllabus.
The final page has the board for the game; this should be printed on to A3 paper.
Instructions are included on the first card, as: "All players begin on the ‘Start’ square. Each player rolls dice to start and moves that number of squares. If landing on an instruction square (i.e. “miss a go”)-follow the instruction. If landing on a Q square, answer the question correctly to move the stated number of squares forward. If question answered incorrectly, stay where you are. First player to ‘End’ square who answers the final question correctly, wins."
If you print the first 3 question pages onto coloured paper and laminate, this will make them easy to combine with different colours for the end of year revision session to make them easier to sort back into topic sets afterwards.
Have fun!
This is a great game that matches questions about Ecology, the Environment, Cells and Living things to their answers-which are on other cards.
Great for end of topic quizzes and for student's problem-solving skills.
The above photograph shows more or less what the resource will look like when the game is complete and the cards are properly assembled into their loop. (This photograph is of another loop game – but same concept).
This resource contains a pack of 30 cards, and is great for a class of 30 or less pupils.
You can print the cards onto coloured paper and laminate them, you’ll only need 1 set per class.
Each card has a question on the top and an unrelated answer at the bottom.
The question at the top relates to an answer on a card elsewhere in the pack, and the answer on the bottom relates to a question elsewhere in the pack.
This game is excellent because students need to be able to answer each question to be able to locate the answer on another card, and they need to understand and be able to work out what the question would be for a particular answer to locate the question.
This is a subtle but effective way to teach students both content and exam technique: because the skill of knowing the answer in a test or quiz is never enough: they also need to be able to work out with what question the answer will be prompted.
Have fun!
These picture cards help students to use the main characteristics of organisms to classify the organisms into each one of the 5 main kingdoms (animal, plant, fungi, prokaryote, protoctista)
These will help to develop students’ problem solving skills and/or give them some independence in gaining some research skills.
There are 25 cards in the pack. These cards can be used in various different ways:
1. In groups of 2 or 3, get students to sort the cards into one of the 5 Kingdoms. The fun is in working out which card goes into which kingdom, and getting them to argue it out.
2. Give each student a card and get them to do some research on the organism on the card.
Answers are included on the final page.
Have fun!
This is a game that helps students remember the 7 Life processes, and what letter stands for and means in terms of function in the organism..
This can be used as a quick starter activity, or just pop one or two on a slide at the start or end of a lesson for a bit of a wrap up/recap of the processes.
This is a game for 2 - 7 players. Each of the 7 life processes are on a card accompanied by a question.
The instructions for the game are as follows:
To play the ‘I am’ game, you need 7 or less players, each of whom receive a card (or more than 1 card).
Player 1 will start and ask the question on their card.
Another player will answer the question using the bold answer on the top of their card; the group will decide if the answer is correct, and then that player will read their question out.
Repeat until all questions and answers are read out.
Have fun!
This game helps students to develop their explanations and descriptions of words; to be able to ‘talk around’ certain words helps to develop examination skills for later down the line.
This game of taboo involves 2-3 players.
Player 1 is given a keyword that the other two players need to guess, but player 1 is given two words on their card under the heading ‘Taboo’ that they are not allowed to say. Player 1 must talk around these words and give enough clues to the other player/other two players to be able to guess what the keyword is. The keyword also cannot be said.
This is a resource that can be used for all years, particularly Year 7 lab safety induction into secondary science, but also for Applications of Science BTEC course to help ensure students know their hazard symbols.
The first page has the names of the hazard symbols, the second page has the pictures of the hazard symbols.
This resource can be used in a number of different ways, depending what you want to do and what your students are familiar with:
-A starter or plenary activity
-Group work: they're given the cards, separated, and they need to sort and pair as a group.
-Pair work: Use the keywords as a question for an opponent to locate the answer.
-Give each student a card sort (separated already) as a homework/classwork activity.
-Give each student the two pages of cards to stick the words and the symbol back to back to make key idea revision cards to learn for revision.
-Choose a few as a starter activity, jumble them up, and pop onto a slide for the beginning of a lesson
-Any other use you can think of!
If you use as a class set for starters or plenaries: laminate them, they will last longer and be reusable.
*Oct 2017: I have updated this resource to also now have the new red and black symbols included. Hope it helps*
