Uncertainity and percentage error calculations are new to the AQA specification in Biology and something which will be assessed a lot more moving forward. These questions can be used for any exam board on the whole and explore what uncertainity is and means, the concept of resolution and plenty of exam questions for students to try.
Student often struggle with Kw in terms of the specific wordy questions and some of the maths questions. Included are a range of questions that asses these aspects with mark schemes.
A huge 60 page booklet on each of the required practicals for AQA A Level Biology including relevant exam questions, methods and techniques, answers and CPAC assessment trackers to track student progress, along with mathematical development opportunities, uncertainties and percentage error, statistical tests and reasoning, magnification and also biological drawings. The questions are based on research from many many many papers and include model responses that will guarantee full marks.
I have also included a new practical, “practical X”, which looks at liming factors in photosynthesis and requires students to research and plan their own method for this.
There is also a very tricky question on insect dissection that I have made and scattered throughout are challenging application questions in the style of the new specification exams.
These are all contained in a nice, concise and consistent format making it clear to students, teachers and assessors.
(Practical 12 is NOT included as this is a research skill at the digression of the school).
Challenging application and practical-based questions designed for AQA A Level Biology. These have all been created by me and designed to match the difficulties of the exam.
Suggested mark schemes included.
Lots of self made organic synthesis questions for A Level Chemistry. Designed for OCR but can be adapted for any exam board. The questions vary in degree of challenge, from simpler recall to more complex application of organic principles.
Mark schemes / answers included for all questions.
Included is a 200+ page booklet for each of the 10 required practicals for AQA GCSE Physics. THIS BOOKLET WILL COVER TRIOLOGY AND SEPERATE PHYSICS ONLY . FOR THE SEPARATE PHYSICS OPTION, PRACTICALS 2 AND 9 ARE ADDITIONAL. THESE ARE ALL INCLUDED
There are concise summary pages for each practical with detailed and accurate methods, and, dedicated exam practice related to practical work/A03 for that practical.
The questions provide perfect AfL to ensure all content has been covered. This excellent resource is essential for the mastering of the practical questions that many students find difficult to answer.
ALL mark schemes are included. Questions taken from AQA, have been made up, and from relevant other areas to stretch and challenge students.
Practicals Covered:
Specific Heat Capacity
Thermal Insulation (PHYSICS ONLY)
Resistance of a Wire
Current and Voltage
Density of Solid Regular, Irregular, Liquid
Forces and Extension
Acceleration
Waves
Light (PHYSICS ONLY)
IR (Radiation and Absorption)
48 pages on the AS Required Practicals for the OCR Chemistry A Specification
This invaluable booklet includes detailed methods, result table layouts, note pages and relevant exam questions to consolidate learning and evaluate methodology. There is a CPAC tracker to track students’ progress through each of the required practicals throughout the year.
Exam questions on transition metals designed for AQA and OCR exam boards complete with mark schemes. The questions have been chosen across both boards and include a range of questions, from simple to recall to deliberately chosen challenging questions.
A recently judged ‘Outstanding’ lesson on Angular rotational momentum. The lessons use the context of ballet/swan lake and the physics behind the ‘fouette’ performed by the Black Swan during the performance.
The lesson also looks at moments of inertia, comparisons between angular and linear momentum and calculations involving angular rotational momentum.
This 70 page booklet contains exam questions and explanations of calculations required as part of the AQA A Level Biology specification. This is easily adaptable for any exam board.
The following areas are covered:
Units, stats tests and and standard deviations, standard form, percentages, uncertainity, use of calculators to find and use power, exponential and logarithmic functions, order of magnitude calculations, y=mx+c, determination of the intercept of a graph, tangents and rate and finally geometry (area, volume etc).
Also included are the answers and the booklets are in pdf and word form for easy editing. The booklet can be used in many ways; it could be given to students to complete as a whole (with answers published on the VLE system/printed for students), or a page could be given a day as the starter of each lesson, or a page for homework, or teachers can simply select pages needed from the massive, massive list to use for explanations and so on forth.
**PAPER 1 style full length mock exam, designed for AQA but easily adjustable to other exam boards e.g. OCR
Paper 1 from AQA A Level Biology covers AS topics, such as…
PAPER CONTENT LIST:
Transport across cell membranes
Antibodies and antigens
HIV
DNA, mitosis and cancer
Mass transport - cardiac cycle, transpiration, translocation
Digestion and absorption
Biological molecules
Insect gas exchange
Topics assessed via range of recall, application and practical-based questions.
Mark scheme included.
With the demands of the new specification on practical skills and particularly methodology with Chemistry, i have compiled together a concise practical booklet on all the required practicals and the skills translated from there that will be assessed.
These condensed notes are perfect for students and include detailed but concise methods to score full marks.
Please do leave a review if you chose to buy.
Here is a full 91 mark exam paper including the mark scheme with questions created by me. The test is designed to be challenging and in the light of the recent papers and how tricky some of the questions have been this will be good preparation!
Designed for AQA but applicable to other exam boards.
Concise, detailed notes on the required practical including:
method needing to be recalled,
key scientific knowledge to support understanding and recall
diagrams and processing of results
tons of practical based relevant exam questions and mark schemes to assess knowledge
challenging application questions and mathematical questions throughout to consolidate learning.
Designed for AQA but can be easily adapted for other exam boards.
A challenge exam paper with many application questions and data analysis on homeostasis and the kidneys.
Designed for AQA but can easily be adapted for any exam board.
Introductory lesson back to A Level Biology / Chemistry / Physics. Workbooks cover essential maths skills needed for sciences, statistics introduction, data handling and interpretation and getting to grips with critical thinking, analysis, evaluation and challenging exam styles.
Maths skills covered:
Standard Form
Equations and re-arranging
Ratios and simplifying
Percentages
Percentage change
Unit conversion and orders of magnitude
Prefix and symbols of units
Handling and deriving units
Temperature change and conversion
Density, mass and volume
Logs
pH
Uncertainty and Percentage Error
Included is a model answer with a detailed method, equipment list and exploration of the contents of an iron tablet, the reasons people need to take iron tablets and a risk assessment.
The practical is based entirely on research and there is detailed checklist guiding students on what they need to research and what to include in the post-lab write up.
The model answer is for students to use as a guide and point out where it could be improved/any errors (e.g. is volumetric flask correct here etc etc.)
This is a challenging, application-heavy “mini mock” paper is aimed for AS Biology students for use towards the end of the year to test their knowledge and ability to handle tricky questions.
The paper is also useful for A Level Biology Students to use as revision for the AQA Paper 1 (which will be all AS material). This is designed for the AQA specification but is probably also relevant for other A Level Biology exam boards.
A suggested mark scheme is also included.
