A collection of A3/A4 printable place mats for each AQA Biology required practical including State, Describe, Explain and Evaluate skills alongside a selection of key words that my students struggle with. Mark schemes are included for each sheet so they should be ready to go.

This is a fun game I designed for my Year 8 students to help them understand how natural selection works, but it can be used just as well at GCSE. All instructions are included in the Powerpoint alongside a spreadsheet for results and tables for student results. I have used this with classes of all abilities and it has helped a lower ability Year 8 set answer GCSE level questions.

Hand drawn and written revision pages for all B1 topics for the AQA course, easily adapted to other specifications or updated with new names. Worked really well with my bottom set Year 10s as an 'if nothing else' revision tool!

I’ve really enjoyed working through this sheet with my students, especially my Year 8’s, as they really enjoy hearing that they’ve completed a piece of work that includes some A-level knowledge! Using the cake analogy means that students understand what’s going on, even if they don’t know the A-level information needed to understand why. Two worksheets are included, one where I had spent the whole lesson on the work linked to cancer (students then completed a lesson from the Cancer Research site), and a second where I instead linked the mutations to adaptations.

I designed this riddle to get my KS3 students using co-ordinates and solving puzzles rather than just being given the answers. The Foundation version requires less map work and focusses on analysis, the higher version focusses on students following the discoveries of Joghn Snow exactly as he would have done. A great lesson and homework fro key stage 3 or 4.

Students use coloured beads and string to form a protein using a simplification of transcription and translation. A really good tool to help with this challenging topic being brought down into the new GCSE.

This lesson was used in my last inspection. It’s designed to encourage students to listen to what’s happening in a story and then reconstruct the stages of meiosis as a drawing. The teacher describes each stage in the story (mine loved it being taken as primary school style story time!) and the students recreate as best as possible. Completed diagrams included alongside practice questions and mark scheme, and a PowerPoint to support.
