I have been teaching science to a range of abilities for over 14 years. This, coupled with middle and senior leadership experience, has provided me with the expertise to produce concise and engaging lessons. I specialise in Biology at GSCE, but produce resources for all strands of science at KS3 and KS4. I have been focusing on the AQA Grade 9-1 GCSE Trilogy, to create learning and revision resources that match the current specification.

Memory aids for key GCSE science recall

(0)
A collection of catchy (and some cringe-worthy!) mnemonics, acronyms and phrases to help GCSE science students recall some of the basics for biology, chemistry and physics. Accompanied by images to help visual learners. These are a bit of a giggle and can be used to inspire students to make up their own!

AQA Science Trilogy-Biology-Foundation Tier-Past Paper-common problems-tutorial

This resource is really helpful for improving exam technique as well as enhancing subject knowledge. The exam paper analysed is from June 2018 (Paper 2, Foundation Tier Biology) and walks the student through the questions which many students lost marks on. The questions are annotated and model answers provided. It works best for students to have their attempted exam paper in front of them so they can add notes and guidance for themselves in a different coloured pen, as the teacher talks through each question. Common misconceptions are also highlighted along the way.
