14 Biological Molecules Recall Tests
A complete set of 14 single-sided question sheets to cover all of the Biological Molecules section of the AQA A-level Biology specification. The questions are deliberately straightforward, to encourage students to revise and then to test their recall. They are useful across the ability range and would work well using a VLE. They don’t say ‘test’ on them and could be used as consolidation during a lesson.
(I started with the carbohydrate one which is why the second one has a bit of a recap of the first. Students needed a bit of a second chance once they realised what was required)
Each sheet is single-sided and has between about 22 and 30 marks
Every sheet has an accompanying answer sheet with the same format as the question sheet for use on a projector for peer/self marking.
GCSE Circulation test (/20 easy to mark)
A 20 mark test on circulation for more able students. Straightforward and easy to mark. First image is from from ‘Biodidac’ - so it must remain a free resource. Answer sheet provided.
Lipids (A-level Biology) - Crossword; Question sheet; Structures info sheet
A set of resources I wrote to support Year 12 students learning about lipids.
The crossword is linked to a cloze activity: “Lipids are made of three 7A … joined with 3A… bonds to a 6A … molecule” etc. The question sheet is a double sided summary to test what they’ve learnt. The structure sheet lays out the structures of lipids, phospholipids, ways of representing them, ester bonds and saturated/unsaturated.
Topic 1: Cell Biology Revision Questions and Answer Sheets
Three sheets of straightforward revision questions. Written to provide simple recall test of what students have learned and need to learn (to reassure them as much as anything). Taken pretty much directly from the AQA 9-1 GCSE syllabus. Answer sheets are included. Would work well as a starter, plenary or on a VLE.
Keywords
Animal and plant cells; Specialisation; Differentiation; Cell division; Mitosis; Stem cells

Topic 5: Homeostasis and Response Revision Questions and Answer Sheets
Five sheets of straightforward revision questions. Written to provide simple recall test of what students have learned and need to learn (to reassure them as much as anything). Taken pretty much directly from the AQA 9-1 GCSE syllabus. Answer sheets are included. Would work well as a starter, plenary or on a VLE.

Menstrual cycle (2 powerpoints, two worksheets, card sort) Post 16
Animated, interactive powerpoint which guides students through the hormonal control of the human menstrual cycle. It is extensively hyperlinked so that you can choose which bits to show. The two double sided worksheets (+answer sheets) use a variety of cloze / colouring / short answer questions. The card sort is differentiated (+answers). The reproductive organs powerpoint is “click to label”. Aimed at aged 16-18 students.
Oxidative phosphorylation (A-level Biology)
Worksheet asks students to label and colour in the stages of oxidative phosphorylation / electron transfer chain (1 page). Accompanied by an interactive powerpoint with clear diagrams which can be used on a smartboard to show students what they should have coloured in (11 slides)
Key words
Oxidative phosphorylation, Electron transfer chain, Cristae, Mitochondrion, Mitochondria
Gas Exchange in Fish and Insects
Animated, interactive powerpoint which guides students through the countercurrent system of fish gills and the tracheal system of insects (28 slides). It is hyperlinked so that you can choose which bits to show. The accompanying document comprises three worksheets and answer sheets. They use a variety of cloze / colouring / short answer questions
Biological Molecules - Carb/Lipid Recall Tests
Five sheets of straightforward revision questions. Written to provide simple recall test of what students have learned and need to learn (to reassure them as much as anything). Taken pretty much directly from the AQA A-level Biology specification. Answer sheets are included. Would work well as a starter, plenary or on a VLE. Doesn’t say ‘test’ on it so that it can be used for consolidation within the lesson.
(The second carbohydrate sheet deliberately repeats some of the first sheet because I found that students needed a second go once they were more aware of what was required following the first one!)
Key words
carbohydrate ~ glycosidic bond ~ condensation ~ hydrolysis ~ glycerol ~ triglyceride ~ lipid ~ fatty acid ~ ester bond ~ sugar ~ phospholipid ~ monosaccharide ~ disaccharide ~ Benedict’s test ~ saturated ~ unsaturated ~ hydrophilic ~ hydrophobic
Biological Molecules Sorting Activity (A-level)
Sorting activity designed to familiarise students with biological molecules. Students sort molecules into groups of similar structures and try to identify them as fatty acids, glycerol, sugars, amino acids etc. 1 page with answers.
I have used it both to introduce biological molecules and to round things off once the students have met them all.
Dihybrid crosses, Chi-squared and Mendel
Interactive presentation which takes students through using the chi-squared test to check the significance of results from a dihybrid genetic cross. Uses examples from Mendel’s pea plant experiments. Can be used on a smartboard to reveal each stage after quizzing the students. 6 slides. Written for A-level.
Key words
Dihybrid cross, Inheritance, Sweet peas, Mendel, Chi squared, Genetics
Genetic Modification: Good or bad (Categorising activity)
Students choose from a bank of statements. They categorise the statements as advantages or disadvantages. Different students will take different points of view. They then have to write a sentence to justify each choice. A cut and stick exercise designed to provokes discussion. To complete the activity students must engage with the concepts. There are no ‘right’ answers! 3 pages
Key words
Genetic modification, GM, Ethics, Genetic engineering,
Action potential slider activity (A-level)
Students attach labels in the right place on a template. The template is lifted up behind a diagram of the action potential. One at a time, each stage of the action potential is revealed in windows. It is worth showing students a completed slider (from a distance!) so that they can see what they are aiming for. Craft knives or scalpels best for cutting out the boxes. Answer sheet included. Written to support A-level.
(Big font labels for labelling the diagram; Small font labels are for the voltage gated channel table)
Key words
Action potential, Neurones, Nerves
GCSE Digestion - complete the powerpoint activity
A powerpoint for students to edit and complete. Written as a cover lesson to give fairly disaffected / less able students something a bit more interesting to do than 100 minutes of worksheets. The answer sheet gives suggested extensions for those who finish first / want them. It would work well as a VLE homework activity or as revision.
Key words,
Digestion, Digestive system, Enzymes, Absorption, Excretion
