I have been teaching Biology for 20 years and I have struggled to find concise and engaging resources for teaching Biology, which is why I have set about creating my own.
I hope that my resources are enjoyed by your pupils and of course support their learning of such an interesting and great subject.

Comprehensive corresponding answer sheets for the teacher
Helpful for lesson preparation for non-specialist science teachers
A visual worksheet which gets pupils to identify the location of a number of endocrine glands in the body. The worksheet also allows pupils to learn about the hormones produced by the main glands, their target organs and the effect of the hormone.
The second worksheet is a crossword to consolidate students’ knowledge of the endocrine system and strengthen their use of key words associated with this topic and aid correct scientific spelling too.
Both worksheets have an answer sheet for the teacher.
A visually appealing and well laid out A level worksheet pack focusing on plant responses and the plant hormones involved. There are three worksheets included in the pack, designed for pupils to work through independently. Once completed these worksheets will create a set of useful and detailed revision notes for students.
Worksheets cover the following:
Overview of plant responses and the roles of the 5 main plant hormones. This worksheet comes with 5 information sheets, one for each hormone, that pupils can use to complete the table element of the worksheet.
Plant responses to the environment
Types of plant response (tropisms)
Answer sheets are provided for all three worksheets.
A cut and stick and cloze activity aimed at A level students.
The activity is designed so that students can learn and identify the key stages of meiosis and describe what happens in each of the main stages. The cloze activity allows students to become more familiar with the key terminology associated with this topic.
This activity can be completed by students independently as all instructions are given on the sheets. Ideal for both teaching the topic and also as a revision aide.
The activity has been provided in both an A3 and A4 format to allow for printing in either size. I would advise to print in A3 if possible as it keeps all the stages of meiosis on one sheet and makes it easier for the student to compare the two different stages of meiosis.
A completed answer sheet is provided for the teacher.
Visually appealing worksheet bundle for GCSE Biology students on the structure of the heart and lungs. Perfect for use when teaching the topics and also for revision purposes. The worksheets could even be used as a progress test on these topic areas. The worksheets should take approximately 10-15 minutes each to complete and pupils will be able to work independently through the activities.
There is a differentiated heart and lung structure worksheet for students who may benefit from extra support.
There is also answer sheets for the teacher, which is great for non-specialists teaching Biology in schools.
As a suggestion the worksheet could be laminated and pupils could complete the activities with OHP pens. The laminated sheets could then be cleaned for future use with other pupils. Otherwise the worksheet could be laminated after completion by pupils and used for display purposes in the classroom or for revision.
A comprehensive and visually appealing A level worksheet pack summarising the biochemistry topic of proteins. There are two worksheets included in the pack, designed for pupils to work through independently.
Answers are provided for the teacher.
Worksheet 1 covers:
Structure and properties of amino acids
Formation of dipeptides
Worksheet 2 covers:
The four levels of protein structure
Focus on haemoglobin as an example of a protein
The worksheets are provided in both an A4 and A3 format.
A3 size is recommended for printing for students.
This pack contains two crosswords, focusing on the lungs and gas exchange, and the heart. The crosswords are designed to help students to become more familiar with key terminology and definitions. This is an area students often struggle with due to confusion between similar terms. Completing the crosswords will help improve students' confidence with the many terms and meanings, associated with this area of the Biology syllabus.
Possible use could be as a plenary to the topic and/or set as a homework task.
Answers are provided for both crosswords for the teacher.
A GCSE revision pack bundle containing 10 worksheets, targeted at students aiming for grade 5, produced in collaboration with a subject lead for Maths. Each worksheet contains nine questions clearly laid out and with space for the student’s response.

Standard form
Area and perimeter of semi and quarter circles
Solving linear equations
Right angled trigonometry
Expanding brackets
Volume and surface area of a cylinder
Error intervals
