A bundle of 10 Complete No-Prep lessons with exam questions, tasks and answers covering the complete Cell Biology topic (4.1) for AQA GCSE Combined Science Biology and GCSE Biology (9-1).
As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. These high quality lessons include explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam-style questions.
My lessons are designed to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video for each resource shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy. The Active Transport lesson is also free so that you can see what my lessons are like before purchasing.
Teaching Order for Combined Science. Bold indicates lessons that are GCSE Biology only
Eukaryotic, Prokaryotic, Animal and Plant Cells.
Specialised Cells
Microscopes (includes Required Practical)
Culturing Microorganisms (Bacteria) (includes Required Practical)
Chromosomes and Mitosis (Cell Cycle)

What’s Included in each lesson:
• Starter / Do Now Activity
• Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams.
• Worked examples of calculations / questions where applicable
• Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers.
• Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards.
• Answers for all questions
• All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons.
• Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing.
The lessons were written for AQA GCSE Science / Biology but are very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.

Answers are also included for all the resources.
These are great tools for use as homework after the students have performed the required practical or for revision before any assessments and their exams.
Students have commented on these saying that they have found them useful tools for revision and helped them in lessons as aids.
Please rate these resources and follow me for upcoming revision mats for the other areas of the specification.
A cut and stick and cloze activity aimed at A level students.
The activity is designed so that students can learn and identify the key stages of meiosis and describe what happens in each of the main stages. The cloze activity allows students to become more familiar with the key terminology associated with this topic.
This activity can be completed by students independently as all instructions are given on the sheets. Ideal for both teaching the topic and also as a revision aide.
The activity has been provided in both an A3 and A4 format to allow for printing in either size. I would advise to print in A3 if possible as it keeps all the stages of meiosis on one sheet and makes it easier for the student to compare the two different stages of meiosis.
A completed answer sheet is provided for the teacher.
This is a huge bundle of resources covering many of the topics studied in Year 1/ AS year of the OCR A Biology course.
