A student-information sheet on the periodic table with a worksheet to complete (includes an extension task). A ‘research an element’ worksheet. Either let students pick their own element or who ever is covering the lesson could use a random-word generator to assign each student a different element (students will need access to the internet for this activity). A ‘mystery element’ quiz worksheet - solve the periodic table-based clues to find the mystery element. 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? Any idea which country is named after silver??

Clickable powerpoint quiz (10 multiple choice questions of varying difficulty) to quickly assess understanding of the carbohydrates topic of A-level Biology. Press play on the Powerpoint & click on the ‘click to begin button’. The embedded links will automatically take students to a page telling them if their selected answers are correct or incorrect. 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.

30 flashcards covering content from the KS3 Cells and Organisation topic. Designed so that answers print on the back of each question, so no sticking required - just print and cut out each flashcard. 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.

Exam tracker to keep track of dates, times & locations for exams, with a tick box to mark each exam once completed. Definitions sheet to encourage students to organise key terms for each subject.

Activity designed for sections 3.7.2 and 3.7.3 of the AQA specification (however would also work well for other exam boards). 16 tasks divided into 4 themed stations (2 on population genetics, 1 on the different types of natural selection and 1 on speciation). Designed as a group revision activity. 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.

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.

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.

Tests knowledge of why the atrioventricular and semilunar valves open and close during the cardiac cycle. how to calculate heart rate using a pressure change graph. the cardiac output equation. differences in pressure between atria & ventricles. Many other similar style worksheets available for other A-level Biology topics, including: tissue fluid formation transport of carbon dioxide protein synthesis photosynthesis respiration the kidney inheritance epigenetic modifications

I’ve been using the ‘past paper’ method for years with my students. Students complete a past paper, mark and analyse their results using MARCKS and then write SMART targets to plan targeted revision sessions. If they don’t comfortably acheive their target grade in the first attempt, they are encouraged to repeat the past paper 2-3 days later (after having completed targeted revision). I’ve found that giving students access to this editable spreadsheet has massively increased motivation to actually use the method properly and stick with it. Students can select from drop down boxes to input their current grade for Biology, Chemistry & Physics. Then they input their target grade. Everytime they complete a past paper, they can input their mark, percentage & grade. The spreadsheet has space for 3 attempts at each paper. Finally at the end of each row, students can select whether they have achieved their target grade for that past paper or not. This is designed for students studying separate sciences, a spreadsheet for trilogy students will be made available ASAP. If you need to clear the text from a cell with a drop down box - DO NOT DELETE IT as this will delete the formatting for the cell. Just select ‘none’ from the drop down box. Available as .numbers or .xlsx download. This spreadsheet does NOT seem to work on iPads I’m afraid, but I have tested it on an iMac, macbook & a laptop running excel and the formatting appears to work properly.
