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.

GCSE Biology - Energy Transfer Across Trophic Levels

(0)
A double-sided worksheet (with markscheme). The worksheet requires students to work out the efficiency of energy transfers at different trophic levels and consider these in a real world context. Questions examine where energy is lost at each stage and also begins to link this to the sustainability of food production.

Photosynthesis/Respiration Card Sort & Summary Sheet

(0)
The card sort resource can be printed off onto card and cut out either before or during lesson time. It can be used as a simple starter/summary activity and is useful to tease out students' understanding of both photosynthesis and respiration and to highlight the relationship between the two processes - that is that one is locking energy into a glucose molecule, whilst the other releases it for use. The one sided worksheet included serves to record students findings and encourages them to reflect on the task. A mark-scheme is also included.

Biology A Level - Muscles - Sliding Filament Theory Cut & Stick Activity

(2)
This resource consists of a two page worksheet. The first is a grid and the second is the tiles that should be cut out and stuck on the former to complete it. Cut and stick activities can be unpopular - especially at A-level - but my students have all agreed this is a great summary activity and a fantastic resource for later revision. The finished result is a single sided piece that works through the entire cycle of a single myosin head power stroke. Also included is a printable markscheme and a newly added PowerPoint markscheme where the answers reveal themselves on each click - to allow self assessment.

(1)
This double sided sheet can be printed at A4 but works better as an A3 resource. All the key areas of muscle function are covered in this excellent revision resource from overall structure down to the arrangements of myosin and actin filaments in a sarcomere and also sliding filament theory as a step-by-step process. Individual sections contain marking points/scores so as to allow easy feedback and afl with the included full markscheme. This gives you flexibility as to how you use the resource and could open up peer assessment/self assessment opportunities.
Blood Glucose Regulation (homeostasis) PowerPoint for A-Level - Detailed Slides
cadarnlozcadarnloz

Blood Glucose Regulation (homeostasis) PowerPoint for A-Level - Detailed Slides

(1)
A detailed PowerPoint of 40 slides outlining the process of blood glucose regulation in the human body. Separate sections focus on: the organs and cells involved; the various metabilic processes in affected cells including (but not limited to) gluconeogenesis, glycogenesis and glycogenolysis; Negative Feedback and antagonistic hormones; Hormonal effects (insulin, glucagon and adrenaline) at the cellular level for liver, muscle and adipose cells, including an explanation of the second messenger model. Type I and Type II diabetes Carefully presented diagrams outline the processes and explain in step-by-step annotations how these processes work. Multiple stages of the PowerPoint are animated and you can navigate between slides/sections using a centralised menu. Also included are printable note-sheets with diagrams from the PowerPoint integrated so as to facilitate student note-taking.
Oxygen Dissociation Curves (Haemoglobin) Worksheet for A-level
cadarnlozcadarnloz

Oxygen Dissociation Curves (Haemoglobin) Worksheet for A-level

(1)
The resource consists of a double-sided worksheet comprising 6 examples of oxygen dissociation curves that may differ from a ‘standard’ curve for ‘normal’ haemoglobin for various reasons. Students need to read information on the situation in each case and predict, with detailed reasoning, the shape of the curve most likely for that case. This serves as a useful consolidation activity and also encourages a re-examination of students’ understanding of dissociation curves so is equally a useful revision resource. The accompanying mark scheme can be used for self/peer assessment and also to promote discussion in the classroom.
ADH & Osmoregulation Cut and Stick Activity for A-level.
cadarnlozcadarnloz

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.
