Previously a Subject Leader and Science SLE with bags of experience with all things KS4 and A level Biology.
I am currently teaching and creating resources for:
OCR A Level Biology,
AQA Trilogy, Synergy and Triple
Edexcel iGCSE coming soon
KS3 ( looking at the AQA 2 year course) including Biomimicry

Contains power points and student booklets for the all 7 topics of AQA Trilogy Biology GCSE.
I also have bundles separately for paper 1 and paper 2 and revision resources that I use on the run up to mocks and exam season.
A huge amount of effort has gone into these resources and I hope you find them useful. Your feedback really appreciated
This resource is 1 A4 page of revision activities for the 5.1.1 OCR homeostasis topic
Top features include:
QR code - takes students to multiple choice quiz from the OCR
checks key terminology
*Checks ability to draw key diagrams
Links to other parts of the spec where appropriate
The activity is designed to check that students have an understanding of the topic and encourages independent working. I advise my students to use notes or a textbook before asking the teacher if they do not know the answer.
Each side takes students roughly an hour to complete. I have used as homeworks, support sessions, revision lessons private study tasks and printed on card and cut to use as revision cards
All other topics available. Please note, answers not yet available but are in the pipeline!!
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 26 minutes long and this activity would fill an hour lesson time or homework
This covers:
The need for communication systems in multicellular organisms
The communication btween cells by cell signalling
The primciples of homeostasis
Temperature control in endotherms and ectotherm
More podcasts added regularly. A lot of work has gone into these resources and your feedback is really valued.
