Follows the OCR Gateway Science specification Questions on B1 - Cell level systems B2 - Scaling up B3 - Organism level systems Includes mark schemes and helpful teacher comments for students to read prior to answering the questions I cropped these questions from old OCR past exam papers and put them into the relevant module. I used these with my students when I had used all the current OCR questions. Students were thankful for the extra questions and that they were from OCR. Hope they help your students.

GCSE Biology B1 - Cell Levels System revision follows the Gateway Science specification. This resourse is for Year 9 - 11 pupils. It summaries the key concepts on all the B1 topics to include B1.1 Cell structure, B1.2 What happens in cells, B1.3 Respiration and B1.4 Photosynthesis. Students must fill in the keywords that are missing on the ‘student version’ ppt. There is answers on the ‘answer’ ppt. that accompanies the student version and there is a help sheet, this displays the keywords for students. Please note triple concepts are not included in these summaries (I usually get my triples to do up their own slide on the triple concept that is missing.) The dept of practical/experimental knowledge is also missing but please see me other resources on GCSE Biology practical summaries. Students (especially the lower ability) find these revision sheets very helpful and they form the backbone of their revision.

Specification link: Oxford KS3 Science - Activate 1 Attached is a template I use with my year 7’s at the end of teaching this topic on cells students have to summaries the keypoints Some students prefer doing this by hand others use computers Answers also provided if you can enlarge to A3 even better

OCR Gateway Science (Grade 9-1) Specification Suitable for Year groups 9 - 11 This is a homework booklet I put together for the 5 lessons for combined students and 7 lessons for triple/separate biology students; mark schemes included. I photocopied it as a booklet, it was handy for picking up and marking myself rather than taking up 20-30 exercise books. My students hole punched theirs and treasury tagged it in their exercise books (also hole punched). I did not mark all sections, we peer assessed some of it in lessons using green pen.
