The whole of AQA GCSE Science and Separate Science for GCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics

A lesson for AQA GCSE Biology looking at the theories of evolution as proposed by Darwin and Lamarck

This is x2 lessons on AQA A level Biology - 3.6.1.3 The Control of Heart rate. Includes lesson content, DARTS activity, Exam Q’s and comprehensive notes to cover this section. Covers SAN/AVN, myogenic control and nervous control via parasympathetic and sympathetic neurones.

A full checklist of ALL of AQA Biology - both separate and Combined science. Great for student revision

Full lesson including recall questions and exam question pack. A Level Biology ppt , handout and exam questions

AQA A level Biology - Retina photoreceptors including rods and cones. Full powerpoint with answers and worksheets. Exam questions for self study/homework and all answers provided - a complete 2 lessons worth.

This is a fully resourced lesson - probably 2 lessons worth. It has been designed with my Foundation Tier Combined Science group in mind but would be fine for Higher Tier students. It covers the following… Drugs, Aspirin, Digitalis, reminder on Vaccines and then onto antibiotics and antibiotic resistance. It has several tasks included Cards - each student shares the information on their bench about drugs, vaccines and finally antibiotics. There is a question sheet to put together answers as a group or as individuals. Includes a video link about Alexander Fleming and the discovery of penicillin Has a ppt animation to help students understand antibiotic resistance Includes a statement sort that they can then put into a storyboard - students can draw appropriate diagrams to help them understand the concept (correct order is included). Video about the causes and a brief explanation of each. I hope you find it useful. It worked well with my students.

This revision presentation includes all the major aspects of AQA GCE A level Biology 3.4.1 DNA,Genes and Chromosomes & 3.4.2 DNA and Protein Synthesis. It contains exam questions, card sorts, Venn diagrams and lots of resources to help students revise these topics. It also includes all the key ideas, with an emphasis towards exam responses. If you tutor an A level Biology student then these are perfect for a one hour session. Please see my other Revision material on this site.

After the first few Biology papers in GCSE Combined Science and Biology this year it is clear that students knowledge of Standard Form and use of common units will need to be firmly embedded in their minds. As a result I have produced a set of resources to help students learn this topic (part of 4.1 Cell Biology and as a Maths Skill requirement).This resource contains an interactive powerpoint including hyperlinks, questions, worked examples, learning tasks and answers. There are student sheets included.

AQA published the advance notice for AQA A level Biology listing the major focus topics in rank order. These Spec lists contain ALL the information from the spec in RANK ORDER, including lower tariff topics for Paper 1,2 & 3. Also included is a useful overview sheet showing all of the spec and where the emphasis is on for higher mark questions. I’ve also arranged a briefer overview sheet that is on one page, showing rank order - great for students to stick on their walls!!
