An independent learning resource covering how to use Simpson’s Index of Diversity (OCR A Specification 4.2.1d) (Correct 2/03/19).
Section A uses a variety of questions on the topic to ensure students have a complete set of notes, provided the questions are answered in full sentences (you can also use the Cornell Notes Style to ensure a coherent layout). This resource then provides a worked example of how to use Simpson’s Index of Diversity, with full instructions.
Section B checks understanding of learning using a practice exam question.
Section C is an extension task designed to improve their exam technique. They are to use the attached mark scheme to mark their response to the exam question. They are then asked a number of questions about how markschemes are laid out.
I have used this as an independent resource task, a homework task, a revision sheet and as an aid to my own planning.
Please let me know what you think.

An independent learning resource covering the structure of mammalian muscle and the mechanism of muscular contraction (OCR A Specification 5.1.5 i ) (Correct 28/03/19). There are three separate sheets covering all of
The structural and functional differences between skeletal, involuntary and cardiac muscle
the sliding filament model of muscular contraction and the role of ATP
The action of neuromuscular junctions and how the supply of ATP is maintained in muscles by creatine phosphate.
Section A uses a variety of short-answer questions to ensure students have a complete set of notes, provided the questions are answered in full sentences (you can also use the Cornell Notes Style to ensure a coherent layout)
Section B checks understanding of learning using a variety of different application questions questions
Section C is an extension task designed to enhance subject knowledge and engage students in the wider scientific world. This should also better equip them for suggest questions and university interviews. Students are asked to research muscle differences in sprinters and marathon runners
I have used this as an independent resource task, a homework task, a revision sheet and as an aid to my own planning.
Please let me know what you think.
