Bioenergetics: complete AQA GCSE Combined Science bundle

A complete lesson bundle for Bioenergetics, written to the AQA GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy (8464) specification, with SEN-friendly design built in from the first slide.

WHAT IT COVERS: Photosynthesis and the factors that affect its rate; aerobic and anaerobic respiration compared; and the body’s response to exercise, including oxygen debt. Higher tier adds interacting limiting factors, the inverse square law for light intensity, and what happens to lactic acid during recovery.

TIERS: Foundation and Higher in one bundle. The worksheet and the assessment each have Section A (Foundation) and Section B (Higher, in addition to Section A), and Higher-only points are labelled (Higher) on the slides.

WHAT’S INSIDE (8 files, all fully editable): PowerPoint slides (26 slides) that are dual-coded and chunked, with worked examples before practice. A tiered worksheet (Foundation and Higher sections) with its full mark scheme. A starter and exit ticket with an answer key. A homework sheet with answers. An end-of-topic assessment (29 marks) with its own mark scheme. Retrieval-practice quizzes: three short quizzes, spaced across the topic, each mixing questions from earlier topics with this one, with answers.

Every question was written for this bundle. Nothing is reproduced from past papers.

WHO MADE THIS: Speca, built by a serving UK secondary teacher. This bundle is one of a growing set in my Tes shop, which already has 19 AQA GCSE Maths topics.

IF YOU USE IT: an honest review helps other teachers work out whether this is worth their time, and it is the main way anything gets found on Tes. Good or bad, I read every one and I fix what gets flagged.

Speca is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by AQA. All content is originally authored and aligned to the publicly published AQA GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy (8464) specification.
