A guide to calculating absolute and percentage error, experimental error, propagating errors and using excel to construct appropriate graphs treating errors via error bars, best, steepest, shallowest gradients etc.

Full guide to laboratory reports for IB Includes error treatments.

A learning resource to help students learn the anatomy of the Brachial plexus- in terms of Roots, Trunk, divisions, chords, branches and the function of these branches

This is a set of flashcards written to cover cardiac activity. It can be differentiated by task- stronger pupils can have a stretch and challenge set, weaker pupils can have just the basics. Used as a plenary or a starter. Good for pupils preparing for interview, or as Revision activity for year 1 medics. I use it as private tutoring material for a medic, and with sixth formers.

Can be used as a lesson Starter or Plenary. I use it as a simple matching pairs activity. Simple Q and A format. Fine for revision. Or sequencing activity. I use this with my sixth formers as a revision/ stretch and challenge activity for those going on to read medicine. I also use it for Private Tutoring of a student at medical school. It's effective. Covers Mineral requirements and deficiency diseases.

Flashcard activity to revise/ learn the sources of various vitamins, whether they are fat soluble, or water soluble vitamins, and deficiency diseases caused by lack of these vitamins. I run it as a matching pairs activity, then a sequencing activity where the pupils match the source to the vitamin, then group the effects of under-consumption together.

Covers the basics of embolism formation and cardiac infarction. I use this as a starter/ plenary as matching pairs and/or flashcards (same resource lends itself to both). Can be edited by user depending on level. Can be used in Sixth form biology, PSHE or Sports science lessons. Used with year 1 medic for exams- also good for sports and exercise science

This is a revision activity that follows on from my other Heart Health/disease flashcards (available as a massive bundle). I use it as flashcards/ matching pairs, but can be used for sequencing. Covers the causes of arrhythmias. Post 16/ pre-university grade. Editable. I wrote it to stretch and challenge good sixth formers, but later added to it to Private Tutor year 1 Medical students - can also be good for sports and health scientists.

A nice independent research project written for the IDBP syllabus, but also used as Oxbridge and year 1 medical prep. It is essentially a research exercise looking at drugs and drug development. Can be used as Prep, or Homework, or, as a FOFO lesson if you have to set cover.

Revision Activity for Medical students or Upper sixth students prepping for Oxbridge interview, Med School interview, extra credit etc.

This an editable worksheet with weblinks for independent study. Has a graded sequence of questions involving calculations of Kc- from simple to complex requiring logic as well as application of the formula Kc =[products] / [reactants] Includes teacher notes and guidance as to how I differentiate- extend questions etc. At heart this is a simple activity, but you can really tailor this to your need- I like to use it as a refresher before tackling acid/ base equilibria and calculations of pH, but it could be used to reinforce the need to find things out for oneself, or as a homework, or at a stretch, for a cover lesson. leads nicely into Ka

A word doc with weblinks/ page references for independent research. Covers alkenes, alcohols, carboxylic acids, polymerisation, electrophilic addition, nucleophilic substitution, Includes gap fill, best response (multi choice) questions, mechanisms etc. I use this as prep, but can also be used as homework, or as a cover lesson.

This is for pupils to develop the ability to use a spreadsheet (I wrote it in excel) to process a large amount of data in order to calculate a value for g (set to be a little lower than 9.8) and then lead into consideration of experimental errors. Using s=ut + 1/2at2 pupils can calculate gravitational acceleration. Pupils are provided with values for s and t Pupils need to calculate a mean t from a very large data set (easy to do using excel). Pupils then need to square the mean t. Then they need to plot s against t2 which will give them a linear graph with the gradient as 1/2 a. The worksheet is editable so weaker pupils can have more guided instructions. Stronger pupils can work their way through. The accompanying worksheet then looks at errors in measurement- absolute and % AND there is a random error in the data set. Pupils can use absolute errors in the data to determine size of error bars, Pupils can work out experimental error, plot best, steepest and shallowest trend lines for g and compare that against the total % error in their data.

A quick revision set for helping older pupil prepare for an Oxford Medical interview. I use this as flashcards and/ or a matching pairs game then a sequencing activity. Covers Enzymes. Lock and Key hypothesis Michaelis-Menton I used it with my sixth formers and also as a preparation for an Oxford interview, and also as part of Private Tutoring of a student reading medicine. It's potent and it works.
