A powerpoint which covers all of the main specification points for OCR A A Level Biology. A run through of the taxonomic groups, Carl Linnaeus, the binomial naming system and Carl Woese and the three domains. Example exam questions embedded into the slides and explanation of phylogentic trees. There are some exam questions here too, these are free from OCR Exambuilder (you just need your school to set you up with an account if you are a teacher).
