Created using the Edexcel International GCSE Biology specification. This resource contains 1 slide of activities, tailored to the specification. This is a free sample and other topics have paper 2 distinguished by using light grey boxes and practical and maths skills indicated by icons in the corner. Top ways to use this resource: Print off as a booklet and use alongside teaching Set as homework Revision lessons for tests and exams Print off on card to create active recall flashcards Please note, this does not come with answers as it is meant to be an independent task using notes and revision guides to aid learning.

I have been creating podcasts to help students revise the A level Biology content. I created this work sheet to use alongside the podcast - I usually do both sheets on one side of A3. Students spend 10-15 minutes answering the questions first, listen to the podcast and mark their answers, adding any additional detail that they need in the extra box. The podcast is about 16 minutes long and this activity would fill approx 45-50 mins More podcasts added regularly. A lot of work has gone into these resources and your feedback is really valued.

I have been creating podcasts to help students revise the OCR A level Biology content. I created this work sheet to use alongside the podcast - I usually do all 4 sheets sheets on one double sided A3 sheet. Students spend 10-15 minutes answering the questions first, listen to the podcast and mark their answers, adding any additional detail that they need in the extra box. The podcast is about 22 minutes long and this activity would fill an hour for lesson time or homework More podcasts added regularly.
