6 worksheets with covering:
Permanent and induced magnets
Electromagnetism
The motor effect
The generator effect (covered across 2 worksheets)
Transformers
Completed versions of all worksheets are also included, which could be used as handouts if you find yourself short of time.

Since introducing this style of worksheet with my students, I have seen improvements across all abilities.
The worksheets are black and white to allow students to highlight and add colour, which is thought to aid the formation of visual memories.
I’d really appreciate a positive review if you find these worksheets helpful. Equally if you spot an error or have a suggestion which would improve the worksheets, please do let me know and I will make the alteration(s) and upload updated versions. Thank you!
*For first assessment in 2025.
UPDATE 5th May 2024, missing page in Manipulating Genomes Flashcards detailing DNA profiling has been added.
Concise, mapped to the specification and based on past mark schemes.
Print & assemble and then use to teach yourself the correct marking points for each topic.
Contains 244 flashcards covering Module 6 of the OCR ‘A’ specification (first assessment in 2025).
Some simpler practical skill questions are covered in the flashcards, but PAGs are generally covered separately in the OCR PAG revision sheet resource, which allows each PAG to be covered in more detail than flashcards would allow.

Meiosis summary worksheets for AS / A-level Biology (process has been simplified to include only two pairs of homologous chromosomes).
Students can cut out each worksheet around the dotted edge and glue/tape the sheets together to produce a large summary sheet covering the entire process of meiosis.
PDF includes two versions:
3 page version which includes details on individual stages of Meiosis I and II.
2 page version (more suitable for AQA) that provides an overview of Meiosis I and II and does not go into details regarding the individual stages.
I have included diagrams representing the chromosomal content of cells during interphase (both prior to, and after DNA replication). I have drawn the chromosomes in interphase in the same way as the chromosomes during the meiosis (even though in interphase, the chromosomes have not yet condensed), this is just so students can clearly see what is happening to the number of chromosomes.
Both versions are designed for students to colour the chromosomes to represent maternal and paternal chromosomes (and also the results of crossing-over).
Versions with completed text are included, if you are short of time and would like to provide the sheets as handouts instead. However, please note, students would still need to colour the chromosomes to represent the maternal/paternal chromosomes and the outcome of crossing-over.
An example of completed colouring is included on the last page of the PDF.
Also available as part of a meiosis bundle which included meiosis exam-style question worksheet & active recall meiosis flashcard activity.
Cell structure summary worksheets for A-level Biology.
What is included? 4 label & colour worksheets:
Animal cell (includes one version with centrioles and one without)
Plant cell
Prokaryotic cell (includes one version with pili & mesosomes, and one without)
Viruses (not a cell, I know! However comparisons between eukaryotic cells/prokaryotic cells/viruses are a common exam question)
Full answer sheets are included, which could also be used as a handout.
Please note - the coloured animal cell shown on the preview is just an example of how students could colour in the cells, this coloured version is not included - all cells are black and white in the download.
Encourage students to add colour to the worksheets to aid formation of visual memories.
If you find these worksheets useful, I would really appreciate a review. Any feedback is also gratefully received and changes will be made accordingly!

Different types of variable
Accuracy / precision / repeatability etc
Uncertainty
Range / standard deviation
Choice of statistical test
Choice of graph
Basic practical skills such as scientific drawing rules, eye piece graticule calibration etc
There is some ambiguity when it comes to mark schemes on questions such as accuracy/precision - with different exam boards sometimes having slightly different answers. I have tried to include the most appropriate answer on the flashcards, but if anyone disagrees with any of the answers - please do leave a review and I will alter the answers accordingly!

I designed this 12-page A4 workbook of exam-style questions to help my students consolidate the Biological Molecules topic. Written with the AQA specification in mind, but suitable for other exam boards. Covers all the key content for Section 1 of the AQA A-level Biology specification.
I tend to give this to students to guide their revision, but it would also be a really useful activity for cover lessons.
A fully completed version of the workbook with model answers is included.
Photosynthesis consolidation / understanding check questions.
Designed for the AQA specification, but relevant to other exam boards.
3 pages / 28 questions (plus 3 synoptic questions).
Full answers included.
Useful for homework / cover work / revision prior to end of topic assessment.
Condensed revision notes for Section 1 Biological Molecules of the AQA A-level Biology specification.
Blurting is one of the best revison techniques for A-level Biology. Students should write down everything they can remember about a particular topic on a scrap piece of paper. Then use their notes to fill in any missed points. However, blurting is only going to be effective if students are using notes with the correct content & key terms to check the information that they’ve written down from memory.
I designed these sheets for my own students to use. They divide the specification into A4 page topics, each of which is the right length to be covered in one ‘blurting’ session.
Download includes 9 pages of notes:
Monomers & polymers, inorganic ions
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Proteins
Enzymes
Nucleic acids
DNA replication
ATP
Water
If you find these notes useful and would like me to upload similar notes for the other AQA topics, please leave a positive review!
*Now updated with improved fonts and new-style answer sheet!
My students love completing these visually appealing worksheets, which break topics down into manageable chunks. Useful as a revision exercise or as a quick assessment.
All worksheets are black and white to allow students to add colour to the diagrams, a process which is thought to aid the formation of visual memories.
Download includes fully completed version of each worksheet that can be used as a handout if you’re short of time.
Scaffolded versions of each worksheet are included plus blank versions (where appropriate) for more confident students.
If you find these worksheets useful I would really appreciate a positive review. Equally, any constructive feedback would be gratefully received and changes can be made accordingly!
