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 :-))

B2 Organisation Biology Keyword definitions and test

(0)
Encourage your students to learn key definitions as they study with this keyword definition list for B2 Organisation (AQA). Includes blank list (so students can find their own definitions), definitions and test. I will be making these for each unit as I prepare to teach them so look back here for more lists appearing and for the bundle once I have completed all the units. Each keyword list is designed for top set Biology students aiming for grade 9. For lower sets and combined science students, delete as many of the words as needed to make it manageable for them as appropriate.

This is a single lesson on ‘Data manipulation’ Produced for KS3 it is also suitable for KS4 lower sets. We have produced 20 different ‘science skills’ lessons for each of years 7 and 8 which we deliver in 5 'skills weeks throughout the year. I will make these lessons availably singly, in sets of 10 and as whole year sets as they become available. This is year 7 - skills week lesson 5 The lessons can of course be taught in any order and as stand-alone lessons. All lessons have literacy support sheets where needed for students who struggle with writing and differentiated questions where applicable. Lessons are suitable for delivery by specialists and non-specialists and this lesson has a remote learning version included.

This is a set of flashcards created for the cell biology 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 80 double-sided flashcards (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.
