Revision booklet for the Biological Molecules topic from A Level Biology. Intended for OCR, however can be used for AQA and Edexcel. Includes recall sections, exam questions and organises all the biological molecules separately. Can be used for revision lessons or extended homeworks (I used to set my students to complete 1-2 pages per week for homework whilst teaching the topic in lessons) or can also be used as an interleaving project. (Especially if some Y13 pupils need some brushing up on Y12 content!)

End of topic recall test for OCR A Level Biology, spec point 2.1.4 Enzymes. Can be used also for revision. Includes answers.

Powerpoint for 5.1.1 Communication and Homeostasis - PAG 11.2: “An opportunity to monitor physiological functions in ectotherms and/or endotherms.” I use this for the required practical (PAG) lesson after teaching about ectothermic animals. So I’ll explain what Daphnia are and the overall methodology of the investigation, along with showing the students some videos and then let them do the practical.

Complete lesson on Cancer for the new AQA GCSE Biology spec (9-1). Includes exam question and answers and many other fast paced activities. Differentiated resources included too.

Full lesson for Spec point d of 5.1.1 OCR A Level Biology - 5.1.1 Communication & Homeostasis. Including: ( d) the physiological and behavioural responses involved in temperature control in ectotherms and endotherms. To include: • endotherms – peripheral temperature receptors, the role of the hypothalamus and effectors in skin and muscles; behavioural responses • ectotherms – behavioural responses. • An opportunity to monitor physiological functions in ectotherms and/or endotherms. Includes detailed content, summary questions, videos and exam questions and answers.

Revision mat for the enzymes topic of OCR A Level Biology, spec point 2.1.4

I like to give these to my students before teaching the topic to have as a cover page int heir topic folders. This also includes all details of the specification points from OCR A Level Biology 2.1.2 biological molecules. Can be used as a revision checklist too.

First lesson from 5.1.1 Communication and Homeostasis (spec point a-c): (a) the need for communication systems in multicellular organisms To include the need for animals and plants to respond to changes in the internal and external environment and to coordinate the activities of different organs. (b) the communication between cells by cell signalling To include signalling between adjacent cells and signalling between distant cells. © the principles of homeostasis To include the differences between receptors and effectors, and the differences between negative feedback and positive feedback. Includes detailed lesson content, a video and summary questions.

**Mindmap to cover the heart and cardiac cycle for the OCR A Level Biology specification. Covering spec points 3.1.2 e-h. ** (e) the external and internal structure of the mammalian heart. (f) the cardiac cycle. To include the role of the valves and the pressure changes occurring in the heart and associated vessels. (g) how heart action is initiated and coordinated. To include the roles of the sino-atrial node (SAN), atrio-ventricular node (AVN), purkyne tissue and the myogenic nature of cardiac muscle (no detail of hormonal and nervous control is required at AS level). (h) the use and interpretation of electrocardiogram (ECG) traces. Including a normal heart only.

Revision booklet including revision checklist, knowledge organisers and recall honeycomb maps for paper 2 of AQA GCSE Biology. Involves both combined and triple content.

Revision mats covering all the content (nervous and hormonal control, genetics and reproduction and ecology) for paper 2 of the new AQA GCSE Biology spec (9-1). For combined sciences (Trilogy) and for both higher and foundation tiers. Best printed on to A3 paper.

Revision mats covering all the content (nervous and hormonal control, genetics and reproduction and ecology) for paper 2 of the new AQA GCSE Biology spec (9-1). For triple sciences (biology only) and for both higher and foundation tiers. Best printed on to A3 paper.

Includes lesson PPT and lesson handout with exam style questions Full lesson covering for OCR A Level Biology covering spec point 6.3.2 (a): The factors that determine population size. The significance of limiting factors in determining the carrying capacity of a given environment. The impact of these factors on final population size.

x3 Revision Mindmaps - A3 size covering all of the Cells and Organisation content from paper 1 of AQA GCSE Biology (9-1). Can do it over 1-3 revision lessons.

I like to give this to my students to have as a cover page for their topic folders before teaching the topic. Can also be used as a revision checklist. Includes details of the specification points

Lesson for the levels of organisation aimed at KS3 pupils. Includes lesson worksheet, information sheet and a number of other activities.

Can be used as a revision and/or homework tool. Covers content from paper 1 from the new AQA GCSE Biology spec.

Revision Checklist, Knowledge Organisers and Revision Recall Honeycombs for Paper 1. Includes content for both triple and combined.

Remote / home learning pack for the entire Infection and Disease GCSE AQA Biology topic. (Thought this would be a very topical and interesting thing to learn about given the relevance of it in the current situation we are in) Instructions included for teacher setting the work. Work emailed out or uploaded onto Google classroom or whatever is equivalent for you. Includes a starter YouTube clip, some comprehension and then recall and exam questions. Mark scheme included for students to self-mark their answers too. Work could be submitted as a Google doc/emailed/ on paper and picture taken. I hope this comes in useful for you in this challenging period we are in.

PDF of the student checklist for 5.1.1 Communication and Homeostasis Checklist - OCR A Level Biology. Usually give this to students at the beginning of the topic so they can have this in front of their topic notes.
