I'm a teacher working in a leading secondary school and I have always enjoyed resourcing. I resource many of my lessons and these are always well received by my department so I thought I'd try to bring them to a larger audience. I have a firm belief that worksheets should combine aesthetics with functionality and pride myself on polished, well presented resources that scaffold without leading and encourage critical thinking from students.

Nitrogen Cycle Overview for A-level - Worksheet and Markscheme

(0)
This double sided worksheet serves as a summary of the main points of the Nitrogen cycle as covered at A-level and creates a useful revision resource when completed. The fist question involves a short sequencing/cut and stick activity to create an overview diagram of the cycle with the following questions testing students understanding of the processes it shows. Later questions tackle leguminous plants and eutrophication as well as how carnivorous plants use alternate strategies to harness nitrogen. Also included is a full markscheme that can be printed for traditional teacher assessment or projected for peer to peer or self assessment, introducing each answer with a click of the mouse.

A level Biology - Active Transport: The Sodium-Potassium Pump

(1)
This PowerPoint is a step-by-step, annotated accounting of the working of the sodium potassium pump. Simple animations show the interactions of pump, ATP, ADP, sodium ions and potassium ions. Also included is a scaffolded notesheet including part-drawn diagrams that students can quickly complete as they learn about the process. Please note: The preview thumbnails have unfortunately created some graphical glitches/artefacts that don’t appear in the actual slides.

ADH & Osmoregulation Cut and Stick Activity for A-level.

(1)
This resource serves as an excellent summary of how ADH is used to regulate water reabsorption in the kidneys. Included is the template sheet, a sheet of 2 tile-sets to be cut out and a PowerPoint markscheme that can be projected and used to add tiles one at a time as a stimulus. The sheet includes the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, the action of ADH at the kidney and how this affects reabsorption in the collecting duct. Works equally well as an accompaniment to my PowerPoint on the Kidneys or as a stand-alone activity.

GCSE - Inheritance & Family Trees - Polydactyly

(1)
This sheet and PowerPoint introduce family trees and reinforces work on monohybrid inheritance and punnet squares. The sheet includes interpretation and completion of a family tree alongside some punnet squares and reasoning questions. The Powerpoint of only 4 slides acts as an initial stimulus but also shows the solution to the family tree.

The Chloroplast (Photosynthesis) - PowerPoint and Worksheet (A-Level)

(0)
This PowerPoint of 8 slides outlines the structure of the chloroplast and examines the smaller structures within. The accompanying work/note-sheet allows students to record the information in a visually engaging way. This is aimed at A-level students (16 to 18 years old) and would serve as an excellent activity as part of an introduction to photosynthesis or in partnership with a chlorophyll chromatography practical activity.

Magnification Calculations Homework (GCSE Microscopes)

(0)
This 11 mark sheet challenges students to convert units from cm or millimetres into micrometres and to use the magnification formula to complete 3 calculations as well as identify the type of electron microscope used to obtain each image. The included mark-scheme is a PowerPoint file allowing easy feedback and peer or self assessment.
Thermoregulation - Negative and Positive Feedback Worksheet (Homeostasis: A-level)
cadarnlozcadarnloz

Thermoregulation - Negative and Positive Feedback Worksheet (Homeostasis: A-level)

(0)
This double sided worksheet examines the process of negative feedback as it pertains to Thermoregulation of the body. Physiological responses to temperature change are included in the questioning and linked to the process of negative feedback. The last few questions then begin to ask students to consider the implications of positive feedback as a shift further and further away from the ‘normal’.
Respiration Overview Sheet (A level resource)
cadarnlozcadarnloz

Respiration Overview Sheet (A level resource)

(1)
These two sheets - one with blanks for students to fill in, the other complete but with space for annotation - are best printed at A3 size and summarise cellular respiration in a clear diagrammatic flow diagram. Students follow the progression of glucose through the entire of cellular respiration. The sheet summarises Glycolysis, Link Reaction, Kreb’s Cycle, the electron transport chain and also anaerobic respiration whilst clearly linking these together in one continuous inter-linked diagram.

cadarnlozcadarnloz

Cholera - Treatment with Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) Worksheet with Markscheme (A level)

(0)
This A-level resource challenges students to apply their existing knowledge of absorption in the small intestine to explain how ORS works as an effective treatment for Cholera. Students will need to apply their knowledge and understanding of what happens during absorption and apply it to unfamiliar situations. A full makscheme is included to allow teacher, peer or self marking as best fits your afl needs.
Blood Glucose Regulation Cut and Stick Activity for A-level.

Blood Glucose Regulation Cut and Stick Activity for A-level.

(0)
This resource serves as an excellent summary of how hormones released by the pancreas regulate blood glucose levels in the body. Included is the template sheet, a sheet of 2 tile-sets to be cut out and a PowerPoint markscheme that can be projected and used to add tiles one at a time as a stimulus. The sheet includes content up to A-level (16 to 18 yrs) complexity and details action of the pancreas both as receptor and effector.
Absorption of Glucose in the Small Intestine
cadarnlozcadarnloz

Absorption of Glucose in the Small Intestine

(1)
This sheet looks at how glucose is transported across epithelial cells of the small intestine and into the blood. It requires students to demonstrate their understanding of active transport (the Sodium-Potassium pump) and co-transport in a series of tasks and questions. A full markscheme is included.

Nervous Response 1 - A level Revision Sheet / Knowledge Organiser
cadarnlozcadarnloz

Nervous Response 1 - A level Revision Sheet / Knowledge Organiser

(0)
This double sided sheet can be printed at A4 but works better as an A3 resource. This sheet covers the key areas of receptor function in creating a generator potential (specifically the Eye and Pacinian corpuscle), Resting Potential and the propagation of an Action Potential. Please note this sheet is part 1 of 2 and, when coupled with Sheet 2, a more comprehensive coverage of the necessary nervous control aspects will result. Individual sections contain marking points/scores so as to allow easy feedback and AFL with the included full mark scheme. This gives you flexibility as to how you use the resource and opens up peer assessment/self assessment opportunities.
