NEW AQA Biology 'Ecology' - Learning Outcome Checklist

(0)
This is a resource which contains all of the learning outcomes for the new AQA Biology ‘Ecology’ SoW. Pupils should mark whether they feel they very confident (green), a little confident (amber) or not at all confident (red) for their ability to achieve each learning outcome. This can be used before an end-of-topic test on ‘Ecology’ for pupils to reflect on areas of revision which are most important. It can also be used again after to see whether students have progressed in their understanding of the topic

This task is designed for the NEW AQA A-Level Biology, particularly the ‘Organisms and their Environment’ unit. For more resources designed to meet specification points for the NEW AQA A-Level specifications for Biology, Chemistry and Physics please see my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience This activity is a revision activity for the ‘Organisms and their Environment’ unit, students can either have a card each and the task can be completed as a card loop activity with the whole class. Alternatively, students could work in pairs and be given a set of the shuffled cards, they will then need to arrange the cards into the correct sequence so that the sentences make sense (like dominoes tiles). When students carry out this version of the activity, I often have a prize for the students who complete the task in the fastest time! The solution for this activity is included so you can check their answers. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)

Cells - PowerPoint and worksheet

(0)
This resource was produced for the AQA B2 Cells topic. It highlights the different organelles found in animal, plant, yeast and bacteria cells and the functions of each them. Students will observe posters of information, which I placed around the room, that they can then use to complete a levelled worksheet. Students then peer-assess their work and then complete a past-paper question on the subject.

Using Energy

(0)
A PowerPoint presentation and resources tailored for the AQA B2 specification whereby students firstly need to analyse their daily energy intake and expenditure and then complete a levelled worksheet by looking at information cards on the ways in which animals and plants can use energy. Students then complete a past-paper question and peer-asses their work. The worksheet for the lesson is attached and the other resources are at the end of the PowerPoint. I laminated these resources to re-use.

NEW AQA Trilogy GCSE Biology (2016) - Cells

(2)
This is a lesson which meets specification points within the AQA Biology Trilogy - Cells SoW. The lesson begins by pupils using posters around the room to complete a levelled worksheet on the structure and function of animal and plant cells. Pupils will then peer-assess their work, providing feedback of the grade each pupil achieved and ways to improve their work. Pupils will then complete a 'revision' task in the back of their books, they will need to stick in a sheet and match the structure to the function. Pupils can self-assess their work. The final task, an assessment task, involves pupils answering a past-paper questions. They should try and do this with their book closed to test their knowledge of what they have learnt this lesson. Pupil can then either peer-assess or self-assess their work. All resources are included, please review with any feedback :)
