<p>Revision mat that can be used to support Ecology at KS3 (or support at KS4), covering aspects of Ecosystem Processes from the Activate scheme</p>

A key terms quiz

<p>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.</p> <p><strong>Keywords</strong><br /> *Adaptations; Competition; Community; Habitat; Abiotic factors; Biotic factors; Ecosystem; Transects; Quadrats; Cycles;Biodiversity; Maintaining biodiversity; *</p> <p><em><strong>Included in the bundle: 26 Biology Revision Question Sheets (AQA 9-1 GCSE Combined Science) £10</strong></em></p>

<p>A full 1 hour lesson designed for a low ability year 10 class studying the AQA GCSE Combined Science syllabus.<br /> This is a theory lesson, so suitable for teaching random sampling with quadrats in the winter months!<br /> This lesson focuses on the method of systematic sampling using transect lines.<br /> This resource includes:</p> <ul> <li>A ‘5 in 5’ retrieval-style starter</li> <li>A retrieval practice (recalling method for random sampling)</li> <li>Teacher input slides with dual coding and reduced cognitive load</li> <li>Teacher model slides (examples)</li> <li>An animated teacher model, helping students to visualise the method</li> <li>Guided class discussions</li> <li>Multiple choice hand signals quiz</li> <li>‘Fill in the blanks’ closed task with answer slide</li> <li>Exam questions, with optional scaffolds, and answer slides</li> <li>Written plenary</li> </ul>

<p>This is a unit of work I created for the plant ecology part of unit 3.</p> <p>It contains three lessons and work booklets to go with each lesson. There is also a 4th booklet which I get students do independently in lesson as a practical task.</p> <p>There is a lot of practical work using the 2017 paper and only ecology material from SAPS</p>
