Meiosis A-level Biology Active Recall Flashcard Activity

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.

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
GCSE Separate Science Past Paper Tracker Spreadsheet

GCSE Separate Science Past Paper Tracker Spreadsheet

(0)
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.

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

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!

AQA GCSE Physics Magnetism and Electromagnetism Summary Worksheets

(0)
Summary / consolidation worksheets for AQA GCSE Physics (triple) Topic 7 Magnetism and Electromagnetism. 6 worksheets with covering: Permanent and induced magnets Electromagnetism The motor effect The generator effect (covered across 2 worksheets) Transformers Completed versions of all worksheets are also included, which could be used as handouts if you find yourself short of time. Great for revision prior to an end-of-topic test or could be used for cover work. Since introducing this style of worksheet with my students, I have seen improvements across all abilities. The worksheets are black and white to allow students to highlight and add colour, which is thought to aid the formation of visual memories. I’d really appreciate a positive review if you find these worksheets helpful. Equally if you spot an error or have a suggestion which would improve the worksheets, please do let me know and I will make the alteration(s) and upload updated versions. Thank you!
Meiosis AS A-level Biology Summary Worksheet and Exam Style Questions Bundle
TeachSecondaryScienceTeachSecondaryScience

Meiosis AS A-level Biology Summary Worksheet and Exam Style Questions Bundle

2 Resources
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 chromosome. 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. Exam style question worksheet: 36 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.
