A level Formative Assessment Tasks The assessment tasks have been created to support the Edexcel A level and International A level courses but can be adapted to support other examination boards. Each assessment starts with a brief introduction to engage the student. Students use their knowledge of the topic to complete the task. The task includes a guidance of what should be included and an indication to the grade associated with the knowledge, based on level of complexity. The resources are great to summarise a topic and can be completed in class or as a homework. Students can use their notes and books for support but the tasks should be answered in their own words to show understanding. I have found that these tasks: • Engage students and promote active learning. • They help students develop their course notes and prepare their revision. • Enables students of all abilities to progress and gives the teacher a way to access knowledge and understanding. • Enables misconceptions to be addressed. • Promotes the use of key scientific vocabulary to support answering examination questions. How to assess the task: Teacher assessed If the teacher is grading, I suggest taking a general approach. If students have attempted each section and the science is correct, I award the higher mark from the section. If not all the information is present or if not all of it is correct, award the lower grade from the section. Student assessed Students gain a lot from marking their own assessment or their peer´s. They should be able to justify the grade awarded. This can help develop appropriate feedback.

A useful revision tool for students preparing for the Edexcel IGCSE Biology exam Summer 2022. The booklet includes the specification points for students to plan their revision plus details of core practicals they could be tested on. There are also a large range of revision questions to test student knowledge.

A complete topic including 8 full lesson powerpoints and 7 worksheets. Each lesson includes bell ringer activities (starter activities) and plenary activities plus lots of retrieval practice. Each lesson takes approximately 50 - 60 minutes. The PowerPoint can be modified to suit your lesson. There is also a recommend practical activity that involves an eye dissection (worksheet included). There are also many exam-style questions to ensure students understand the material. I have included a range of different resources and tasks including pair and individual work. Students should be able to complete the following after the lessons: Describe the geotropic and phototropic responses of roots and stems and understand the role of auxin in the phototropic response of stems. State that the central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord andis linked to sense organs by nerves. Understand that stimulation of receptors in the sense organs sends electrical impulses along nerves into and out of the central nervous system, resulting in rapid responses Understand the role of neurotransmitters at synapses Understand the role of neurotransmitters at synapses Describe the structure and functioning of a simple reflex arc illustrated by the withdrawal of a finger from a hot object Describe the structure and function of the eye as a receptor Understand the function of the eye in focusing on near and distant objects, and in responding to changes in light intensity Describe the role of the skin in temperature regulation, with reference to sweating, vasoconstriction and vasodilation

A worksheet designed to allow students to describe the process of primary succession in an environment.

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.

A digital escape room to check student understanding of Ecosystems and Ecology. Suitable for all exam boards. Once you purchase the escape room, you will download a PDF file with all of the instructions for the students including the website. The escape room involves students clicking on objects which open up online activities such as multiple choice quizzes, cloze activities, and crosswords.
