Set of 88 flashcards covering practical skills & experimental design. Suitable for all exam boards.
Covers topics such as:
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.
AQA GCSE required practical revision notes/sheets covering the 6 Biology Paper 1 required practicals (for triple science).
Despite being worth 15% of the marks, so many students don’t allocate specific revision time to the required practicals. I designed these sheets for my own students to encourage specific revision of the practicals and have seen a great improvement in practical knowledge and the ability to answer practical-based questions.
Each sheet includes an example method and most importantly, exam-style questions and model answers.
The model answers for the exam-style questions have been written based on previous mark schemes, but I cannot guarantee that future mark schemes will be exactly the same. The model answers are for guidance only. Students should be encouraged to use these sheets as a starting point and update/annotate them with any further information as needed.
