I have been a secondary school science teacher for 9 years and have just started using more resources that pupils can use in their interactive notebooks. I have found these are going down very well with pupils and they are using them throughout the year to revise and recap. All my resources are tried and tested and are up to date with the new curriculum at KS3 and KS4.

Two worksheets - cut out the labels on the first and stick onto the second to help revise what each part of the plant cell does.
Could emit words on the second sheet to make it harder for top sets.
Hi,
Last chance!! These are revision cards for module B5 of the old OCR gateway spec for which the last exam is 2017. They have questions and multiple choice answers with the correct answer in bold and underlined. They also show which grade the question is and if it is higher or foundation (higher is in italic).
Very useful for last minute revision for pupils to test each other.
Tick sheets for all of the topics in the new 2016 AQA Bioenergetics modules. Theses follow the spec and have the higher tier content highlighted in italic.
These can be used on a lesson by lesson basis or at the end or start of the topic to see where pupils are.
See my other resources for the rest of the AQA tick lists as well as many other resources for the new Biology modules.
Everything you need for the Human Digestion System - very independent lesson with plenty of resources, starter and plenaries. Not complicated at all and can be used at all levels.
Start by printing out an A2 coloured digestive system poster found on the powerpoint - run a poster challenge where pupils are put into groups and take it in turns to look at the poster outside of the room for 30 second - the whole team have to try and recreate the poster in a certain time - prize for the winner.
The give the pupils the worksheet - have the posters for the digestive system printed and laminated around the room OR upload the powerpoint to iPads or laptops - pupils use these to condense the information on the Digestive System Worksheet.
Then give pupils the enzyme foldable and leave the slide of chemicals in the digestive system on the board - they use this to create a foldable for Protease, Lipase, Carbohydrase, bile and hydrochloric acid.
As a plenary pupils can do word search and/or crossword which are differentiated. Then they can go through the tick list for the topic to review their learning.
Ideas for plenaries are also on the powerpoint. Also a results table for the required practical.
I have done this lesson with all of my GCSE classes and they loved all of the activities. All printed and laminated resources can be saved and used for years to come!
Everything you need to a whole lesson on the heart. Designed for the new AQA GCSE 1-9 spec. Laminate the posters, print of the diagrams and puzzles and leave the pupils to it - very independent lesson that lets you work with needy pupils 1 on 1.
Print the heart poster slides in colour and laminate for one between two. Go through the presentation on heart structure, double circulator system, pacemaker cells and vessels.
Leave the "to do list" on the board and give pupils the laminated posters and diagrams of the vessels, heart and pacemaker location. Also pupils can make a heart with tabs that open up by cutting out the blank heart and sticking the tabs down.
There is then a differentiated crossword and word search to use as a plenary.
These cards are all you will need for revision for now until the exams for B1, B2, B3 and B4.
The quiz cards can be printed single sided either on paper or card, cut out and the pupils use them to quiz each other. They are levelled and the italic questions are hight tier. The correct answers for all of them are bold and underlined.
The key word cards need to be printed double sided and have all the key words on one side and the definitions on the back.
Good luck with revision!
Many sets of revision cards for GCSE Biology topics.
I use these for AQA spec but they should be ok for other exam boards too.
Questions for pupils to ask each other with multiple choices answers - the correct one underlined and bold.
Power points, foldables, laminates, posters, worksheets, crosswords, revision cards and tick sheets for the organisation unit of the new 2016 AQA Biology/trilogy science GCSE.
I use these with my year 7's to show progress and to plan for future lessons. At the start of the topic they do the test by just highlighting the answers they think, we quickly mark and make a note of what they get. At the end of the topic we do the test again to show how far they've come. It's really motivational for lower ability students as they might get lower marks but they usually always make progress which boosts confidence.
