I A-Level (Biology A)Edexcel Unit 1 Checklist with Exam progression tracker.

(0)
A Word document which can be modified. It contains all of the specification points for unit 1. I have included an exam progression tracker for the 12 exams available and have included the grade boundaries and UMS scores for each exam. These are the modular exams for unit 1 IAL but are also great exam practice for Biology A students in preparation for the May exam. I have included page references for each specification point (from the IAL Book 1 and will need to be modified for Biology A). There is also a RAG section to support student learning.

IAL/Biology A Unit 4 Checklist and Exam Progression Tracker

(0)
A Word document which can be modified. It contains all of the specification points for unit 4 “Energy Flow, Ecosystems and the Environment”. I have included an exam progression tracker for the 8 exams available and have included the grade boundaries and UMS scores for each exam. These are the modular exams for unit 4 IAL but are also great exam practice for Biology A students in preparation for the June exam. I have included page references for each specification point (from the IAL Book 2 and will need to be modified for Biology A). There is also a RAG section to support student learning. I print these and give them to each student so they can follow the course but also monitor their performance in each exam.

Acceleration PPT recaps over the speed and velocity covered in previous lesson. There are worksheets with questions on with varying ability of challenge. Graphing speed introduces the idea of how different graphs can be used to calculate distance, speed and velocity. I have used other people´s resources found online - Matrix car chase and calculation worksheets.
