In an effort to reduce marking I have put together these checkpoints for the B1-4 Trilogy topics. (can also be used for triple Biology.) I use them as starters or plenaries. B1 Cell biology B2 Organisation B3 Infection and response B4 Bioenergetics Students complete TG, an effort grade, a student comment for how they are getting on or any questions and a 'science specific target'. I usually get these printed on coloured paper to make them stand out, in the power point, they are clear to allow you to do this.

Made using the AQA Trilogy specification. Contains 7 slides of activities to complete for topics B1-4 B1 Cell biology B2 Organisation B3 Infection and response B4 Bioenergetics I give these out at the end of each topic and also before holidays for exam preparation. These units are assessed in Paper 1 for trilogy - 70 marks - 1hr15mins I have made the boxes equal sizes so that they can be blown up onto A3 card to create revision cards for intervention/ starters/ plenaries Maths skills and RPAs are incorporated More of these on the way for all AQA units, RPAs and maths skills. Feedback welcome

To fit a series of lessons designed for a bridging year between KS3 and KS4. Many of the lessons have been taken from AQA Trilogy and Synergy specifications for GCSE This resource is differentiated by task and also by time to be spent on each. Red activities = hardest, Orange = medium demand Green = easy The stars represent the time to be spent on each ( I change this depending on the ability of the group/ student e.g. each star represents 2 minutes) I usually display on the board and students work on A3 or print for lower ability classes.
