I've attached an applied science-revision checklist. It's essentially a copy of the Pearson applied science specification-I've just broken it down and chunked relevant topics. I have handed this to students so they can use it as a revision tool. Hope it helps. I've also made a checklist for the physics and chemistry unit.

For ease of use i have uploaded AQA’s Required practical worksheets for all 10 biology practicals. Please note this included the practicals for separate science students.

This worksheet requires students to complete unlabelled diagrams using the AQA Biology textbook (page 188-189). This resource has been created to support the lesson on dialysis (check it out). *Top tip-print 2 copies to 1 A4 page to save printing*. AQA spec link: 5.3.3 People who suffer from kidney failure may be treated by using kidney dialysis. Students should know the basic principles of the operation of a dialysis machine.

Worksheet that can be used for classwork or assigned as homework. It covers WS 1.2 and WS 1.4 in the AQA specification ‘Students should be able to interpret ray diagrams, showing these two common defects of the eye and demonstrate how spectacle lenses correct them.’

An Internet-research based activity that allows students to explore the Wolly mammoth extinction theories. This resource allows students to apply their knowledge, if time allows it is also a fantastic way for students to present their findings to fellow classmates. Please leave a review on this resource.

Pollution kills plants and animals which can reduce biodiversity.

Every year we have students that have gone above and beyond within our classes however, they aren’t always acknowledged in reward assemblies because of the large pool of students they are competing against. Most of the certificate templates I found online were either over complicated, childish or both. Students in secondary school wish to be treated as young adults hence, I have created a sophisticated certificate, one that students would be proud to take home. Reward the students in your biology classes for their achievement and effort using these certificates, download for free and edit away! If you like this certificate but don’t teach biology, edit away! P.S I have attached PDF and Word doc versions, I recommend you print your certificates as PDF.

Praise 10 students with just one A4 print! These praise cards look good in both Colour and Black & White and are completely Editable and paper friendly. Simply include your Schools logo, add your name. To save time, print in advance.

To celebrate 100+ positive reviews I would like to share a great homework on the brain . This covers WS 1.5 in the AQA specification 'Evaluate the benefits and risks of procedures carried out on the brain and nervous system.

Unit 2-Practical scientific procedures and techniques Learning aim D: Review personal development of scientific skills for laboratory work. How did i teach this? This assignment allows students to review the skills they attained in this unit. It also reiterates the importance of H&S as well as professional practice. Before setting the assignment i first taught three lessons covering the content in Pearson BTEC national-Applied science-Student book 1. Due to the complexity of this assignment i provided my students with a template which covered the P/M/D criteria (please see attached). This prevented students from going off on a tangent and also ensured they had mentioned the key skills for both assignment B and C. I’ve also attached a specification and the assignment brief to tie it altogether nicely. Hope it helps you with marking also!

Updated 13/7/20-This resource has been updated since the last review and now includes more questions as well as a separate MS I’ve uploaded a set of past paper questions for the Hormones and menstrual cycle topic (B11.6). I’ve also included the mark scheme, which has been edited so. Setting time for past paper questions every few lessons are an excellent AFL technique, can be used as a review task that students can self/peer assess. This is a complimentary resource, if you wish to purchase i have also designed a lesson for this topic simply search ’ AQA new specification-Hormones and the menstrual cycle-B11.6’

Sometimes our higher ability pupils slip through the net because we are focusing our efforts on helping our students who on the verge, to succeed. I have done a lot of extra work this year to really challenge my most able students, funnily enough this has created a drive within the laziest pupils in my class. The resource i’ve attached is a review paper on Polydactyly, I shared this with my whole class even though It was to target my most highest achievers and encouraged them to all read the article as homework. Scientific reviews/articles expose students to scientific knowledge that goes above and beyond the requirements of the specification, it helps students develop an interest and love for science which then leads to better interaction in lessons.

The world of the microscope lesson created in accordance to the NEW AQA Specification (9-1). Designed for a higher ability class, although content can be adjusted to suit any ability. Includes: slide animations, embedded videos and practice questions with answers on slides. I have also included the required practical ppt as It goes hand in hand with this lesson. I would recommend doing the required practical after the plant and animal cells lesson. AQA spec link: 1.1.5 Relevant chapter: B1 Cell structure and transport. AQA Biology third edition textbook-Page 4-5 Specification requires students to know the following; Students should be able to: • understand how microscopy techniques have developed over time • explain how electron microscopy has increased understanding of sub-cellular structures. Limited to the differences in magnification and resolution. An electron microscope has much higher magnification and resolving power than a light microscope. This means that it can be used to study cells in much finer detail. This has enabled biologists to see and understand many more sub-cellular structures. WS 1.1 Students should be able to carry out calculations involving magnification, real size and image size using the formula: magnification = size of image size of real object Students should be able to express answers in standard form if appropriate. MS 1a, 1b, 2h, 3b WS 4.4 Use prefixes centi, milli, micro and nano.

Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells lesson created in accordance to the NEW AQA Specification (9-1). Designed for a higher ability class, although content can be adjusted to suit any ability. Includes: slide animations, embedded videos and practice questions with answers on slides. AQA spec link: 1.1.1 Relevant chapter: B1 Cell structure and transport. AQA Biology third edition textbook-Page 8-9 Specification requires students to know the following; Plant and animal cells (eukaryotic cells) have a cell membrane, cytoplasm and genetic material enclosed in a nucleus. Bacterial cells (prokaryotic cells) are much smaller in comparison. They have cytoplasm and a cell membrane surrounded by a cell wall. The genetic material is not enclosed in a nucleus. It is a single DNA loop and there may be one or more small rings of DNA called plasmids. Students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the scale and size of cells and be able to make order of magnitude calculations, including the use of standard form. MS 1b, 2a, 2h WS 4.4 Use prefixes centi, milli, micro and nano.
