This lesson is designed for spec point 4.1.1.5 for the AQA trilogy course. It also has some activities for looking at microscope slides, in preparation for the required practical. One of the resources in this has been taken from the AQA website and adapted for the lesson. I hope this helps anybody teaching the course out there :)

This powerpoint has a list of most of the common compounds pupils need to know for GCSE AQA Chemistry. It contains a few animated tasks, involving naming the compounds when given the formulas, writing the formulas when given the compound name, stating whether the compound is made up from covalent or ionic bonds and then drawing the dot and cross diagrams for the common compounds. This is good for revision, or for using the dot and cross diagrams when teaching covalent or ionic bonding.

A worksheet for pupils to use to practice producing genetic crosses. I used Star Wars characters to make it fun for pupils.

The powerpoint has all of the lessons for the Respiration topic on the GCSE AQA biology course. It has 51 slides in total and includes past paper questions and ideas for demonstrations.

The revision sheet has questions linked to all of the specification points. The powerpoint has all of the questions and answers on it. I have hyperlinked the answer slides, so it is easy to navigate if you only want to go through some of the answers in a lesson. This resource include the content for both combined Trilogy AQA and the Triple Biology content too (at the end, clearly separated).

This powerpoint covers the white blood cell response section of the specification. There is a quick quiz at the end of the lesson to check pupil’s learning.

Revision questions on a crib sheet (linked to the AQA specification points) and a powerpoint which goes through all of the answers.

A revision crib sheet linked to the specification points in the AQA cells topic (excluding cell transport), including cell organelles, specialised cells, microscopy, stem cells, mitosis and the cell cycle. The powerpoint has all of the answers on it. The powerpoint is hyperlinked, so if you only want to go through a few answers at a time it is easy to navigate during a lesson.

This lesson covers the second part of the infection and response topic, about the seven communicable diseases that pupils need to know. At the end of the powerpoint there is a quick quiz to assess pupil’s learning.

This lesson covers the drug trials section of the infection and response topic, about how new drugs are tested and developed. At the end of the powerpoint there is a quick quiz to assess pupil’s learning.

This lesson covers the first part of the infection and response topic, about pathogens, bacteria, viruses and reducing the spread of pathogens. At the end of the powerpoint there is a quick quiz to assess pupil’s learning.

I have copied all of the specification points into a table for students to use and tick off as we go through them in class and again as they revise them.

OCR A Level Biology Communication and homeostasis revision. This is a revision resource, with prompt questions to help students recap the whole topic. I print it A3 double sided.

A3 sized sheet with prompt questions and spaces to draw diagrams etc to revise the whole respiration topic.

For each of the biology only combined science required practicals, I have made a slide of quick fire questions, linked to the topic the RP is about (not necessarily just focused on the required practical), the next slide has pictures of the RP, that you can use for discussion and it has some prompts e.g. what are the variables? And the next slide contain the mark schemes and examiner reports for some past paper questions linked to the required practicals and the general topics they are based on. For each of them, I have also included a pdf of past paper questions linked to the required practical or based on the topic (if I was unable to find a suitable question linked to the RP). I really hope people find this useful, as a basis of running through/revising the required practicals.

This is designed for most of the 4.1.1.2 spec point, however some parts (e.g. about the bacterial cells) I have included in a different lesson to this. I hope it helps anyone out there who wants some ideas for teaching the topic :)

A3 sized sheet with prompt questions and spaces to draw diagrams etc to revise the whole photosynthesis topic.

A checklist of all of the specification points for students to tick off when you complete them in class and again when they revise them.

All the key pieces of information needed for this topic. It includes the combined knowledge and triple knowledge needed and I have clearly boxed off the triple information. I hope this helps students with their revision.

OCR 21st Century Biology B1 Revision Resources. The crib sheet just helps mind map information that students need to know. I cut the hexagons up and get students to match keywords that they can connect and write (using whiteboard pens) on their tables why they matched those keywords. With the board game questions, students either try and answer as many questions as they can in a set amount of time, or they play a board game e.g. snakes and ladders and if they get the question correct they can have another roll of the dice.

OCR 21st Century Biology B7 crib sheets. Due to the module being large I split it into the three main sections with one A4 page of questions for each section. I have tried to incorporate as many key questions linked to the specification as I can onto one page of A4 for each section.
