Made using the AQA Trilogy specification. (same for the triple for B1) Contains 2 slides of activities to complete for the B1 topic I give these out at the end of each topic and also before holidays for exam preparation. I have made the boxes equal sizes so that they can be blown up onto A3 card to create revision cards for intervention. Maths skills and RPAs are incorporated (Once I have made them all there will be exam specific booklets) More of these on the way for all AQA units, RPAs and maths skills. Feedback welcome

A lesson on illegal drugs with sort cards The revision aid was adapted from board works and laminated for a revision lesson keyword crossword

Lesson and revision aids the picture cards were printed and laminated for students to match the disease with the transition method and compliment the word cards. these were made for the edexcel syllabus

there are 2 different types of diagram to choose from for students to label. Have used with both KS3 and A level
