A worksheet with the villus that students can label independently or with teacher guidance. The diagram can be colored to highlight different tissues.
There are guided questions to highlight the main adaptations for absorption of nutrients.
There is an answer sheet included.
A worksheet of pregnancy that students can label independently or with teacher guidance. Students also included the function of each part.
The diagram can be colored to highlight different tissues.
There is an answer sheet included.
A PDF worksheet focusing on the light independent reaction of photosynthesis. Students learn to recognise the diagram as they label key structures. They also describe what is occurring at each stage with focused exam-style questions.
Answer sheet included.
A PDF worksheet focusing on the sigmoidal curve due to oxygen interaction with haemoglobin. There are a series of exam-style questions focusing on the changing affinity haemoglobin has for oxygen at different partial pressures.
Suitable for formative assessment.
Answer sheet included.
A PDF worksheet with a copy of the cardiac cycle graph. Students label the opening and closing of the valves. There are also exam-style questions to check students’ understanding. Can be used as a formative assessment task or indeoendent learning task.
Answer sheet included.
A PDF worksheet focusing on the separation of pigments using chlorophyll. Students calculate the Rf value for different pigments. There are exam-style questions with answers included.
Suitable as an independent learning task.
A PDF worksheet focusing on the concepts of density-dependent and density-independent factors that can affect an ecosystem. It also focuses on inter and intra-specific competition. Answer sheet included.
A useful addition to a lesson, independent learning task or formative assessment.
A PDF worksheet focusing on the structure and function of sperm and egg cells. Can be used as an independent learning task or formative assessment.
Students label the main organelles/structures within both cells. There are exam-style questions to check understanding of acrosome and cortical reactions.
An answer sheet is included.
A pdf worksheet focusing on the cascade of events which leads to the formation of fibrin. There are a series of exam-style questions to check understanding.
Can be used in addition to class notes or as a formative assessment.
Answer sheet included.
A PDF worksheet with the experiment of varying concentrations of sodium chloride and onion cells.
Exam-style questions focusing on variables, graph skills and analysis.
Answer sheet included.
Useful as a formative assessment task.
A PDF worksheet covering the action of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. Students label the diagram showing the process from transcription to exocytosis. There is also an analysis question to check student understanding.
Can be used as a formative assessment.
These student worksheets provides support for the core practical on osmosis in potato strips. In the osmosis practical, students collect results for one potato strip in each solution but I would recommend collating results and allowing students to calculate the mean values if they have time.
Students perform the experiment and record their results in table and graph provided. They need to calculate the percentage change in mass.
Students write a conclusion to explain what their results show. Students use graph to estimate the salt concentration inside the cells.
In this practical, students will investigate the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis in pondweed or another suitable aquatic plant. The oxygen is collected and measured to allow a calculation of the rate of photosynthesis. Light intensity is varied by moving a lamp closer to the plant.
The worksheet contains equipment, method, table of results, graph and focused questions.
This activity is designed to promote independent learning, allowing teacher to circulate room and support students who need guidance.
A PDF worksheet focusing on the A level Biology content for photosynthesis.
The worksheet features the chloroplast to label and describe the role of the structures; the pigments found in chlorophyll; the absorption spectrum; Engelmann´s experiment regarding the action spectrum.
Useful for class notes or as a formative assessment.
Markscheme included.
