A full set of flash cards to aid revision. Question on one slide and then key responses on the following slide. These can be printed or saved on a phone to use.
All of the key topics are covered on the flash cards, including diet, health, pathogens, vaccinations, antibiotics, reflex, synapses, nerves, menstrual cycle, fertility, auxins, homoeostasis, drugs, thalidomide, smoking, alcohol, ecology, plants, environment, biomass, food chains, decay, carbon cycle, variation, DNA, chromosomes, genetics, cells, natural selection and more.
Revision loop card activity for Additional Biology. Students need to cut out the cards and then sequence them so that the question on one card matches the answer on the next one. If the student get them correct, it will form a loop.
The answer sheet is also provided so that you can quickly check response and identify any mistakes made by the student(s).
A great activity to challenge students - who is quickest; to assess students and highlight misconceptions.
Loop cards include questions about:
digestion, digestive system, enzymes, denature, pH, lipase, bile,
A set of 5 different games of thoughts and crosses that can be used as a starter, plenary and/or revision task.
This works best when students work in pairs. The task is that the students have to compete to get three in a row. Which ever way they decide to try and get three in a row the questions include a range of difficulty - there is no easy pathway!
These sheets cover all of the main areas from the additional science unit. There are versions available for Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
The loop cards can be used as tool for assessment of prior learning, progress and revision. Students need to match the question on one card with the answer on another card, like dominoes.
The answer sheet is given at the end of the document.
This is good to do a pace and challenge activity.
The idea works that students should know the core building blocks around the edge of the page. The task therefore is to summarise these key points in the middle, only focusing on the things they have forgotten:
The final task is to get this all on to a postcard - their revision notes to take away! This makes it all manageable for the student.
Topics covered:
Cells, enzymes, specialised cell, digestion, genes, mitosis, meiosis, chromosomes, bile, pancreas, villi,

Additional Biology AQA - Keyword and definition bingo.
This contains a set of questions and a pack of pre-made cards. This can be used as a starter, plenary or revision activity.
This covers all of the key concepts in the unit. Other bingo games are available for the other units too.
Progress monitoring booklets for Additional Science - Biology B2
A list of the various objectives for each of the topics in the Additional Science Unit.
Students can show progress against what they know about a topic at the start and then at the end of a unit. This can then be used to produce a personalised revision programme for the student.
Alternative way of being used, is to print on stickers and use in books.

Additional Biology AQA - Cells Keyword and definition bingo.
This contains a set of questions and a pack of pre-made cards. This can be used as a starter, plenary or revision activity.
This covers all of the key concepts in the unit. Other bingo games are available for the other units too.
The idea works that students should know the foundation building blocks around the edge of the page.
The task therefore is to work inwards and begin to summarise these key points in the middle, only focusing on the things they have forgotten.
The final task is to get this all on to a postcard - their revision notes to take away! This makes it all manageable for the student.
This is one topic only and the full unit can be downloaded as a complete file.

GCSE Core Science Revision Materials for Diet and Exercise
Revision materials to support students prepare for the GCSE core science examinations.
Resources are based around keywords and concepts.
Further resources are available from AchieveinScience and Scuttscience.
A set of multiple choice questions that can be sued to assess students either as a starter, plenary or revision task.
Works best with voting kits, pre-made flash cards or whiteboards. Also students can record answers in back of books.
Covers: environment, pollution, ecology, food chains,
This lesson is from the series of lessons that I have created for the New Combined Science Trilogy course and are linked to the new AQA specification. Each lesson varies in its content and are sold individually but they are also available as a complete BUNDLE (see bundles and SAVE).
Lessons include:
- Lesson Plan – a clear overview of the lesson, links to specification, three main objectives, keywords, resources, starters, 3 main activities and plenaries. Ideas are also included for differentiation for lower and more able students.
- PowerPoint – with lesson objectives and keywords on each slide.
- Additional resources – printable sheets for starters/plenaries/investigations.
- Support sheets – guidance for demonstrations and practical activities
All of these lessons will be continually updated and so please continue to revisit these resources for the most up to date resources. If you have purchased the draft specification lessons, please email for the instructions on how to get your lessons updated to the new specification – orders@achieveinscience.com
