This covers specific heat capacity for P1 AQA. Lots of practice for using the SHC equation

This resource summarises the four statistical tests required for A level biology (Standard Deviation, T-test, Spearman Rank, Chi-squared). There is a practice question and mark scheme for each test. The questions are Edexcel SNAB but hopefully they’re relevant to other boards.

Worksheet on work/GPE/KE calculations with answers included. This is adapted from another resource I found here on TES so thank you to whoever made the original!

Two practice papers (31 and 34 marks) which can be used to prepare students for the exam. I've tried to anticipate the sort of questions which will come up, based on previous papers. I normally manage to guess quite a few. Mark schemes also included. Any feedback is appreciated - thank you and good luck.

This is a workbook to help students practice calculate actual size and magnification. Answers included in separate document (NB there may be some errors - I was very tired!)

Calculation questions extracted from various exam papers (2008 and 2015 spec) for practicing the following maths skills: - heart rate calculations - magnification - percentage change - data analysis Answers included at the end

Simple web-based research task (includes links - hold down CTRL to open links in document)

This investigation is based around Breaking Bad. Students complete a practical making magnesium sulphate (I've called it 'white') and calculate the percentage yield. The group with the highest yield wins but watch out for cheating!

This activity is adapted from a Kings' College resource and develops argumentation skills. It is also a good summary of the differences between plant and animal cells and an introduction to classification.

Couldn't find one of these so knocked it up from the specification.

Similar to the one I created for unit 1, this is taken from the spec and should be useful for revision. I printed it as an A4 booklet and I added a blank revision timetable on the final page.

As much revision as I could fit on a single page! Includes: key words, states of matter, change of state graph, melting and boiling points.

A simple game of top trumps which the students make. This is designed for students to make cards on computers and print them out to play. It can also be done by hand if you print the templates off. In groups of 5, each student makes 4 cards (use the groups slips to allocate elements). I have restricted it to the first 20 elements, but obviously you can extend it if you want bigger sets. Then print off and play - see the instructions for more details.

This makes a nice little 8 page book which summarises mitosis for GCSE. Students should complete the sheet first before folding. Students should fold and cut along the dotted line Follow the instructions in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21qi9ZcQVto

A worksheet for A level biology which summarises the processes of transcription, post-transcription modification, translation and the nature of the genetic code. Examples are given for the students to illustrate the role of the coding strand, template strand, mRNA and tRNA. Answers are provided on a separate sheet.

Some initial questions about the article. I get the students to write answers, although I'll probably make a mark scheme and upload it when I get a chance. The accompanying powerpoint has some links and images to get students thinking about the topics. Added 20/04/16: Two activity sheets based on the article and a glossary

I've taken each of the longer (5/6 mark) questions from aqa papers and put them into this PowerPoint. Students practice each question under timed conditions (timer on each slide - click on the box to activate. Give 5 mins for each question). Then use the mark scheme to mark/feedback.

A worksheet for students to practice drawing ionic bonds

Worksheet reviewing diffusion and osmosis, and covers active transport.

A (double) lesson for year 7 on the skeleton and joints. The powerpoint takes you through the activities, including the worksheet and a practical activity on building a model joint. The research page has all the info for students to complete the worksheet.
