Printable revision timetables ideal for GCSE and A-level students.
Download contains 4 different colour options, plus one black and white version.
For each different colour, there is an option with time slots already completed & a blank version for students to choose their own timings for each session.
The two hour slots at the beginning & end of each day are for completing past papers - for any other revision, make sure you have a break after 1 hour of revising. I personally don’t suggest students timetable revision for early in the morning and late in the evening on the same day - choosing one or the other is usually best, depending on when students work best.
UPDATED with new fonts and new fully completed versions that can be used as handouts.
These worksheets are included in the AQA Section 5 Worksheet Bundle.
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.
Includes 4 worksheets covering:
structure/function of chloroplasts
light dependent reaction
light independent reaction *
limiting factors of photosynthesis
2 different light independent reaction worksheets are included - one with ‘TP’ for AQA/OCR, and the other with ‘GALP’, for those teaching the Edexcel specification.
For each worksheet, differentiated versions are included:
a version containing just the diagram, for more confident students to annotate themselves.
a scaffolded version, with ‘fill in the gap’ structure.
Completed versions of all worksheets are included.
*Similar style worksheets also available for:
Cell structure

Student progress checklist and key word sheet for the Cells and Organisation KS3 topic.
Also included are two quick ideas for diffusion practicals and a generic practical recording sheet for students to complete.
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.
Please note that I can accept no responsibility for your final exam grade should you choose to use these revision resources. These resources are intended to help students actively revise, but students should be aware that a high proportion of the marks in your exams are AO2 and AO3 marks and students should therefore use a variety of resources and techniques in preparation for all of the question styles that will be encountered in the exam. Whilst these resources have been written with past mark schemes in mind, there is no guarantee that future mark schemes will be the same.
Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this resource, but I am only human, so if you spot an error, please email teachsecondaryscience@gmail.com and the resource will be updated ASAP.
AQA GCSE required practical revision notes/sheets covering all of the Physics Required Practicals (for triple science).
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 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.

Also available as part of a bundle containing all of the required practicals for Biology, Chemistry & Physics AQA GCSE.

What’s included?
A student-information sheet on the periodic table with a worksheet to complete (includes an extension task).

A 10-question powerpoint periodic table quiz. Divide the class into pairs / small groups. Who can name an element named after a planet? Who knows an element which is magnetic?

Where applicable, information is given as to why their answer is incorrect (this is not given for all questions as extra information woudl would give the answer away in some cases).
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.
4 worksheets ideal for Year 7 homeworks (each worksheet should take roughly 20-30 minutes to complete).

Use for revision lessons or for early finishers.
Detailed worksheet covering (virtually all) possible autosomal linkage exam questions. Could be used as homework or as an assessment (due to the low number of past exam questions on this particular topic).
Includes a chi-squared question and links to/revision of meiosis
Made with AQA in mind, but the specifications for OCR and Edexcel are pretty similar for this topic, so would be beneficial to those specifications as well.
Mark scheme included.
Printable PDFs for GCSE & A-level.
Cornell revision note template - lined and unlined option.

PDF includes task card sheets to be printed, cut out (and laminated). Also includes student answer sheets (which correspond to the task card layout), along with full teacher answers.
PDF is black and white only - I printed each station on a different coloured card/paper before laminating.
Revision note templates covering Section 3 (Organisms exchange substances with their environment) of the AQA AS Biology specification.
Help your students develop efficient note-taking skills, which will stand them in good stead for university.
Revision pages cover gas exchange, digestion & absorption, mass transport in animals and mass transport in plants.
What’s included?
16 pages of blank A4 pages with questions/headings/diagrams to help students complete structured, concise revision notes.

Hardy-Weinberg calculation worksheet for A-level Biology.
Part of a growing bundle of worksheets aimed at improving maths skill confidence for A-level Biologists.
21 marks in total.
Great for a homework exercise to assess student’s abilities or for student’s to use for self-assessment. Includes full mark scheme.
Mixed maths/statistics question assessment booklet also available, along with a serial dilution calculation worksheet and percentage change calculation worksheet.
Organise revision with this bubble mindmap template (8 colour choices included: grey, pale pink, yellow, turquoise, red, green, blue & orange).
Conventional mindmaps are not for everyone, they can easily look very messy and students often just write their entire notes in very small writing to fit everything onto one page. The advantage of bubble mindmaps is that there are a limited number of bubbles to fit the key points in, so it really forces students to think about what information is actually the most important.
Useful for all age groups, from KS3 to GCSE and A-level.
