AQA A-level Biology Required Practical Revision Sheets and Scientific Methodology Flashcards

2 Resources
AQA Required practical revision notes/sheets covering the 12 A-level required practicals (redox indicator & respirometer included for required practical 9) Despite being worth 15% of the marks, so many students don’t allocate specific revision time to the required practicals. I designed these sheets for my own students to encourage specific revision of the practicals and have seen a great improvement in practical knowledge and the ability to answer practical-based questions. Each sheet includes key information, an example method (where relevant) and most importantly, exam-style questions and model answers. The model answers for the exam-style questions have been written based on previous mark schemes, but I cannot guarantee that future mark schemes will be exactly the same. The model answers are for guidance only. Students should be encouraged to use these sheets as a starting point and update/annotate with any further information as needed. Plus, set of 65 flashcards covering practical skills & experimental design. Covers topics such as: Different types of variable Accuracy / precision / repeatability etc Uncertainty Range / standard deviation Choice of statistical test Choice of graph Basic practical skills such as scientific drawing rules, eye piece graticule calibration etc There is some ambiguity when it comes to mark schemes on questions such as accuracy/precision - with different exam boards sometimes having slightly different answers. I have tried to include the most appropriate answer on the flashcards, but if anyone disagrees with any of the answers - please do leave a review and I will alter the answers accordingly!

The skills on the front page are linked to Doddle skills (https://www.doddlelearn.co.uk/app/login) However please feel free to remove the codes to make them generic. I have aimed the booklet at year 9 however the activities are transferable across KS3 and KS4 The activities should support students through their science education and help them to get used to terminology they will need for the required practicals at GCSE and A level

I have made this resource for my school’s alternative curriculum facility at the request of our Deputy Headteacher. They wanted a unit of work for students who had been sent out of lessons for a longer period of time which was separate from work being covered in class, as managing the former system was getting tricky. I decided to make a Working Scientifically resources which could be completed independently, but that would also double as a revision resources for students or a teaching resource for lesson time. The workbook covers: Introduction (which incorporates a skills checklist and the list of the AQA Required Practical Activities) Key Words Identifying Variables Hypotheses and Predictions Apparatus and Techniques Methods Risk Assessments Tables of Results Types of Data, Graphs and Charts Presenting Data Evaluation Peer Review Referencing Conclusions I hope that you will find this resources useful. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for improving the workbook! :)

This poster summarises the two key errors for scientific experiments, linking them to their effects on precision and accuracy and what commonly causes these errors. The poster is made in publisher and can be personalised with a school logo and adapted to suit your needs. This can be printed as 4 A3 tiles or sent to a print company for printing. Both of these are far cheaper than buying them from main stores as well as the ability to reuse adapt them.

Participatory pattern workshops: a methodology

In order to promote pedagogically informed use of technology, educators need to develop an active, inquisitive, design-oriented mindset. Design Patterns have been demonstrated as powerful mediators of theory-praxis conversations yet widespread adoption by the practitioner community remains a challenge. Over several years, the authors and their colleagues have facilitated many workshops in which participants shared experiences, captured these as design narratives, extracting design patterns, and applied them to novel teaching challenges represented as design scenarios.
