This worksheet has been created in accordance to the NEW AQA specification (2016) for the Homeostasis and Response Topic and is to be used with students studying triple sciences (Biology ONLY) A small part of the specification requires students to be aware of the role of new technologies in corrective eye surgery. I created a comprehension task for my high ability year 11 students, it requires students to read a scientific article and answer a series of questions. This is an excellent stretch and challenge activity that exposes students to advanced scientific terms as well as new science. It can easily be set as a homework task. Answers can be found in the article. I was very pleased with the outcome of this activity, I loved that it opened a huge discussion in my class, please share your thoughts on this resource once you’ve had a go with your own students :) AQA specification reference: 4.5.2.3 New technologies now include hard and soft contact lenses, laser surgery to change the shape of the cornea and a replacement lens in the eye.

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.

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.

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.
