IGCSE Nutrition Revision Map

(0)
Help students prepare their revision for the topic of nutrition. The questions cover both plants and animal nutrition including core practicals (Edexcel). I print the document on A3 paper and it takes around 45 - 50 minutes for able students to complete. I allow the task to be an open book activity in preparation for an exam.

GCSE Biology Transport inside the root hair

(0)
A pdf worksheet which focuses on the need for nitrate and magnesium ions by a plant. Students should know how both water and mineral ions pass into the plant (osmosis and active transport). The worksheet contains exam-style questions with an answer sheet. Suitable for in class activity; homework; research task.

The Respiratory System (label the diagram)

(0)
A pdf worksheet focusing on the lungs and respiratory system. Students label the different sections and can colour the different sections. Students complete a table describing the function of each part. A useful activity when studying gas exchange and ventilation in humans. Answer sheet included.

Edexcel Biology Unit 4 Revision Planner - 20 files

A revision plan for students studying the Edexcel Biology Unit 4 module. The timetable can be edited to change the dates. Currently it is for the upcoming January 2023 exams. The timetable covers 9 weeks of intensive revision. Included in the pack is a detailed day to day revision plan to guide students through their revision. Also included are exam questions (with mark scheme) per topic area and worksheets. This has been a great resource for weaker students to help plan their revision and ensure they cover the content.

Photosynthesis fold over cards (retrieval practice)

(0)
A technique suggested in the book, Powerlearning. This is a revision technique with self-feedback. Students begin by reading each question and determining which ones they know the answer to and which ones they don’t. Independently, students determine what they know and what requires further study. Students answer the ones they know the answer to and then search for the answers they don’t know. Students then verify the answers they thought were correct. Students can fold the page over and use the questions for revision/retrieval practice.

Investigate the rate of photosynthesis and respiration in a waterplant

(0)
A pdf worksheet focusing on the experiment with water plants with and without light. Also contains respiring organisms. The experiment uses bicarbonate indicator which changes colour in the presence of low and high concentrations of carbon dioxide. The experiment is explained and there are exam-style questions to promote understanding. Answer sheet included. Suggested uses: in class activity; homework task; revision task

Random Sampling using Quadrats

(0)
A practical investigation that enables students to determine whether light intensity affects the population of plants in 2 areas, one being shaded and the other with light. Students randomly generate coordinates for an area marked out. I have suggested using 2 tape measures at right angles. Quadrats are then placed at the sites and the plants are counted. Students then use the data to estimate the total plant population.

A PDF worksheet which focuses on the changes in an embryo from totipotent cells to cell differentiation. There are questions to challenge students understanding of these terms plus DNA methylation and acetylation. Answer sheet included. This resource is great for: In-class worksheet Pre/post-test Homework assignment Support work

Belt Transect Worksheet

(0)
Practical activity - Investigating the changes in the population of a plant species along an environmental gradient. Transect samples are taken systematically in a linear pattern. In this investigation, you will use an interrupted belt transect to investigate the effect of the increase in height (altitude on a hill). Students record their results in the table and plot a scatter graph. A conclusion can then be drawn using their results.
