Nutrient Cycles Summary Worksheets AQA A-level Biology

(0)
These worksheets are part of the AQA Section 5 A-level Biology Worksheet Bundle. 3 worksheets covering the Section 5, Nutrient Cycles section of the AQA A-level Biology Specification. Full answer sheets are included, which could alternatively be used as handouts/revision sheets. My students love completing these visually appealing worksheets, which break topics down into manageable chunks. Useful as a revision exercise or as a quick assessment. All worksheets are black and white to allow students to add colour to the diagrams, a process which is thought to aid the formation of visual memories. Similar worksheets available on: Cell structure Immune response Protein Synthesis Tissue fluid formation CO2 transport Photosynthesis Respiration Energy and Ecosystems Protein synthesis Epigenetics Inheritance The kidney Receptors Nerve Impulses In vivo & in vitro cloning If you find these worksheets useful I would really appreciate a positive review. Equally, any constructive feedback would be gratefully received and changes can be made accordingly!

OCR A-level Biology Required Practical PAG Revision Sheets

(0)
UPDATE June 3rd 2024: Typo on potometer sheet now corrected. OCR Required practical revision notes/sheets covering the 12 PAGS required for A-level Biology. Please note, not all possible variations for each PAG are included, please see below for exactly which specific practicals are included. Despite being worth 15% of the marks, so many students don’t allocate specific revision time to the required practicals. I designed these sheets for my own students to encourage specific revision of the practicals and have seen a great improvement in practical knowledge and the ability to answer practical-based questions. Each sheet includes key information, an example method (where relevant) and most importantly, exam-style questions and model answers. The model answers for the exam-style questions have been written based on previous mark schemes, but I cannot guarantee that future mark schemes will be exactly the same. The model answers are for guidance only. Students should be encouraged to use these sheets as a starting point and update/annotate with any further information as needed. Includes: PAG 1: microscopy - root tip squash PAG 2: dissection (general practical skills/questions relevant to any dissection) PAG 3: sampling techniques PAG 4: rates of enzyme-controlled reactions (covers general questions on e.g. initial rate of reaction, DOES NOT cover specific enzyme practicals due to there being so many different variations). PAG 5: 3 different practical sheets included (factors affecting membrane permeability, determining glucose concentration & potometers). PAG 6: 2 different sheets included (electrophoresis & using chromatography to investigate plant pigments [paper chromatography method, not TLC]. PAG 7: Microbial techniques, 2 different sheets included (effect of antibiotics on bacterial growth & dilution plating to determine microbial density) PAG 8: Calibration curve to investigate water potential PAG 9: Qualitative tests for biological molecules PAG 10: Data logger & computer modeling (methods not included for this PAG, just key points from previous mark schemes). PAG 11: two sheets included (effect of exercise on heart rate & heart rate changes in Daphnia). PAG 12: research skills (rate of respiration example used - also includes common questions on respirometers).

A-level Biology A2 Inheritance Summary Worksheets

(1)
UPDATED with coloured diagrams on answer sheets. Visually appealing worksheets covering the inheritance topic of A-level Biology. Designed with the AQA exam board in mind (incomplete dominance is not relevant to AQA, but has been included to allow teachers of other exam boards to use this resource - codominance and incomplete dominance are not the same thing!). Includes 7 worksheets covering: Multiple alleles Codominant alleles Incomplete dominance Dihybrid crosses Sex linkage Autosomal linkage Dominant and recessive epistasis Due the complexity of this topic, I find these worksheets are useful to introduce each type of inheritance, before moving onto exam-style questions. Also useful as a revision / homework exercise. All worksheets are black and white to allow students to add colour to the diagrams, a process which is thought to aid the formation of visual memories. Full answer sheets are included.

Nerve Impulses Summary Worksheets A-level Biology

Nerve Impulses (AQA Section 6) summary worksheets for A-level Biology. 3 worksheets: The action potential Refractory period + propagation of a nerve impulse along a non-myelinated neurone. Factors which affect speed of conduction (temperature, axon diameter, myelination). Since introducing these visual summary worksheets, I have seen improvements across all abilities. Download includes differentiated versions for the second two worksheets (one scaffolded ‘fill in the blank’ style worksheet, and one with blank answer spaces). Full answer sheets are included, which could also be used as a handout. The action potential worksheet is available as a fully completed version, to be used as a revision sheet or a version with the just the diagram and graph, for students to add their own text to. This leaves teachers free to explain each section of the graph as they prefer (i.e. some teachers prefer to include the term ‘voltage-gated’ ion channels, some don’t). Encourage students to add colour to the worksheets to aid formation of visual memories.
