Meiosis Summary Worksheet AS A-level Biology

Meiosis Summary Worksheet AS A-level Biology

(0)
Meiosis summary worksheets for AS / A-level Biology (process has been simplified to include only two pairs of homologous chromosomes). Students can cut out each worksheet around the dotted edge and glue/tape the sheets together to produce a large summary sheet covering the entire process of meiosis. PDF includes two versions: 3 page version which includes details on individual stages of Meiosis I and II. 2 page version (more suitable for AQA) that provides an overview of Meiosis I and II and does not go into details regarding the individual stages. I have included diagrams representing the chromosomal content of cells during interphase (both prior to, and after DNA replication). I have drawn the chromosomes in interphase in the same way as the chromosomes during the meiosis (even though in interphase, the chromosomes have not yet condensed), this is just so students can clearly see what is happening to the number of chromosomes. Both versions are designed for students to colour the chromosomes to represent maternal and paternal chromosomes (and also the results of crossing-over). Versions with completed text are included, if you are short of time and would like to provide the sheets as handouts instead. However, please note, students would still need to colour the chromosomes to represent the maternal/paternal chromosomes and the outcome of crossing-over. An example of completed colouring is included on the last page of the PDF. Also available as part of a meiosis bundle which included meiosis exam-style question worksheet & active recall meiosis flashcard activity.

Cell Structure A-level Biology Label Summary Worksheets

(0)
Cell structure summary worksheets for A-level Biology. What is included? 4 label & colour worksheets: Animal cell (includes one version with centrioles and one without) Plant cell Prokaryotic cell (includes one version with pili & mesosomes, and one without) Viruses (not a cell, I know! However comparisons between eukaryotic cells/prokaryotic cells/viruses are a common exam question) Full answer sheets are included, which could also be used as a handout. Please note - the coloured animal cell shown on the preview is just an example of how students could colour in the cells, this coloured version is not included - all cells are black and white in the download. Encourage students to add colour to the worksheets to aid formation of visual memories. If you find these worksheets useful, I would really appreciate a review. Any feedback is also gratefully received and changes will be made accordingly!

A-level Biology Practical Skills Scientific Methodology Flashcards

(0)
Set of 88 flashcards covering practical skills & experimental design. Suitable for all exam boards. Covers topics such as: Different types of variable Accuracy / precision / repeatability etc Uncertainty Range / standard deviation Choice of statistical test Choice of graph Basic practical skills such as scientific drawing rules, eye piece graticule calibration etc There is some ambiguity when it comes to mark schemes on questions such as accuracy/precision - with different exam boards sometimes having slightly different answers. I have tried to include the most appropriate answer on the flashcards, but if anyone disagrees with any of the answers - please do leave a review and I will alter the answers accordingly! This download is the same as the Module 1 OCR A-level Biology flashcards.

Biology Molecules A-level Biology Consolidation Workbook

(0)
I designed this 12-page A4 workbook of exam-style questions to help my students consolidate the Biological Molecules topic. Written with the AQA specification in mind, but suitable for other exam boards. Covers all the key content for Section 1 of the AQA A-level Biology specification. I tend to give this to students to guide their revision, but it would also be a really useful activity for cover lessons. A fully completed version of the workbook with model answers is included.

Condensed Revision Notes AQA A-level Biology Biological Molecules Blurting

(0)
Condensed revision notes for Section 1 Biological Molecules of the AQA A-level Biology specification. Blurting is one of the best revison techniques for A-level Biology. Students should write down everything they can remember about a particular topic on a scrap piece of paper. Then use their notes to fill in any missed points. However, blurting is only going to be effective if students are using notes with the correct content & key terms to check the information that they’ve written down from memory. I designed these sheets for my own students to use. They divide the specification into A4 page topics, each of which is the right length to be covered in one ‘blurting’ session. Download includes 9 pages of notes: Monomers & polymers, inorganic ions Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Enzymes Nucleic acids DNA replication ATP Water If you find these notes useful and would like me to upload similar notes for the other AQA topics, please leave a positive review!

Meiosis A-level Biology Active Recall Flashcard Activity

(0)
30 flashcards designed to test A-level students on their knowledge of meiosis in an engaging & productive way. Designed for the AQA specification, but these cards would be useful for all exam boards (the final 3 flashcards are on the topic of non-disjunction, which is not relevant to all other exam boards). I use this resource as a consolidation task prior to the end-of-topic assessment. Great task for encouraging active recall, so students learn by retrieving information from their brain (as opposed to trying to put information into their brain). What does this resource include? 30 flashcards, to be printed double-sided on 3 sheets of A4 card or paper. Includes one version with the answers completed, & another version with the answer side blank for students to complete. How to use? Provide students with a set of the ‘blank answer’ flashcards and ask them to complete the answers as a homework or revision task. Print & laminate the completed flashcards to use as an activity for early finishers. Use as a class revision exercise. Also available as part of a meiosis bundle, which includes a meiosis worksheet and a foldable visual worksheet outlining the stages of meiosis.

AQA GCSE Combined Science Trilogy Required Practical Revision Sheets
TeachSecondaryScienceTeachSecondaryScience

AQA GCSE Combined Science Trilogy Required Practical Revision Sheets

(1)
AQA GCSE required practical revision notes/sheets covering all 21 required practicals for Combined Science/Trilogy (higher tier). 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 an example method and (where relevant) 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 them with any further information as needed.

Meiosis A-level AS Biology exam style questions worksheet

(0)
40 marks of exam-style questions covering the A-level Biology topic of meiosis. Written for the AQA specification, but the majority of the questions are relevant to all exam boards. Non-disjunction has intentionally been set as the last question, allowing it to be easily removed for those exam boards which don’t include this sub-topic. Questions have been designed with the intention of covering as many permutations as possible with regards to meiosis exam questions, but without repetition. Useful as a homework / self-assessment / revision task before an end-of-topic test. Includes full mark scheme.
