2 double-sided worksheets on sampling plants. Perfect for the British summers or consolidation of the required practicals. One is a sheet on a belt transect, the other is a sheet on random sampling. Both sheets involve data analysis and working scientifically skills. Suited to the AQA Ecology topic 7, but will be relevant to other exam boards where plant sampling is required.

A Level Biology Maths Skills - Logarithms, Log graphs and exponential increases worksheet 4 sides and all answers included. The Worksheet gives brief summaries of the skills involved in working with factors of 10 and logarithms, as well us using 2 to the power functions for calculating the exponential increase of cell populations. 2 pages focus on dealing with log scales on graphs. My students have found these particularly useful, and these are definitiely an area for marginal gains with the examboard. The logarithmic question for AQA 2023 paper 3 was poorly answered with 17% of candidates not even attempting the question. The log graph question in 2023 paper 1 saw only 7% of students achieve 2 marks.

A fun quiz of the year for AS Biology (AQA) - it is likely to overlap with other exam board specifications, but I cannot vouch for this! It contains nearly 90 Questions and it easily lasts an hour. Covers a range of topics, particularly from Biological molecules and cells topics, and has some more serious sections - identifying molecules/ proteins, and some less biology related rounds - flags / womens world cup badges. I have created a 1% club round based on the style of questions in the TV series, which my students have loved (those that watch actual telly and not Netflix at least!) I run it as a pub-style quiz. Groups of 2-4 students, and they mark each others after a round All answers are provided *one round (6Questions) is based on the 2023 Women’s world cup - this could be updated to 2024 Men’s world cup badges… or beyond!

16 pages of worksheets and answers to cover the following: monohybrid Codominance Multiple alleles Dihybrid Autosomal linkage Inheriance and chi-squared These are resources I use to teach the AQA specification. To give full coverage (e.g. sex linkage and hardy weinberg) and further exam practise, I also use a load of questions from exampro/PPQs) These often provide a bit more scaffolding (e.g. with linkage) and some easier questions, before more challenging PPQs are attempted.
