I specialise in general science resources for KS3 and KS4 and biology for KS5. I try to make my resources suitable for non-specialists and teachers new to the subject, by including answers to any questions and full step-by-step explanations. I love flashcards and try to make a set for each unit I deliver. I am in the process of upgrading these to colour coded (differentiated) sets. All newly added resources will have a remote-learning version too (just in case :-))

147 revision Flashcards GCSE AQA B5 Homeostasis differentiated

This is a set of flashcards created for theHomeostasis unit for AQA Biology. The flashcards are double-sided (flip on long edge), so the answer is on the reverse of each card, and are colour-coded with blue cards being the easiest, green mid-difficulty and red the most challenging. With my lowest ability groups I ask them to learn the blue cards as a minimum. My higher ability groups learn the blue cards first, then the green and red cards.

Here are 47 double-sided flashcards for the Inheritance and Variation unit (print double-sided, flip on long edge). Each question card has the answer on the back. I have colour coded the cards (blue easiest / green harder, red hardest) so you can differentiate by only setting certain coloured cards for different students, or by asking students to learn them in order (bluest first) so they learn the basic information first.

I was looking for some flashcards for GCSE Biology revision, and couldn’t find anything comprehensive - so I’m making my own. This set covers the first sub-chapter of the AQA Biology text book plus cell structure and transport and inheritance and variation. Please let me know if you find them useful - it might spur me on to get through the other chapters more quickly :-) They are designed to be printed double sided (flip on long edge), so just need to be cut out and they’re then ready to go. If you edit any of the questions, make sure the boxes still line up before you print them. Update - I will keep adding extra cards as I make them - so if you’ve bought this resource already - keep checking back to see if there are more cards you can download.

Biology Keyword definitions and test for units B1, B2 and B3 AQA

Biology Keyword definitions and test for units B1, B2 and B3 AQA

1 Resources
Keyword lists, definitions and tests for the first three units of the Biology GCSE course. There are around 50 definitions for each unit. Created for the most able students aiming for grade 9 in separate science, these are easily tweaked for lower grades and combined students by removing some of the trickier definitions. I’ve used these for my bottom set by paring them right down to 15 definitions to concentrate on. I encourage my students to create a new flashcard each time they come across a new key term from the list and learn it for next lesson.

Science skills lessons (suitable for remote home learning( KS3

1 Resources
I have created a series of science skills lessons for my KS3 students. I have created remote learning versions of all the lessons that do not involve practicals. Most lessons have a literacy support document to support those students who find it difficult to write for sustained periods. Suitable for specialists and non-specialist How to tackle long answer questions (remote version included) Controls and control variables (remote version included) Following a method (not suitable to set remotely) Critical thinking (remote version included) The scientific method (remote version included) Scientific terminolgy (remote version included)6

Complete set (528) Revision flashcards for GCSE biology AQA

1 Resources
I have created sets of flashcards which cover most of the AQA Biology content . Print double sided (flip on long edge) so that answers appear on the back On the homeostasis pack and ecology pack I have highlighted the separate science content, so you can take these out of the packs you give to combined students, as these units are separate science heavy. I have also colour coded the individual packs, so students can learn the easier content first (blue questions), then learn the mid-difficulty questions (green) then the most difficult content (red). You may want to target only the blue and green questions at your foundation students.
