This bundle has EVERYTHING your A-level biology department needs to successfully implement the practical endorsement component of the A-level specification! I say everything- as everything in this bundle was highly recommended by an OCR official during a monitoring visit! It consists of: Student-friendly check lists for every PAG + additional ones we have made in order for the students to meet the skills a summarised, student-friendly document of the OCR practical document showing the criteria used to assess biological drawings, graphs and table of results. moderation activity sheets for staff to fill in scanned examples of students work to use for moderation, to ensure staff are confident with assessing particular skills. Additionally, this allows departments to work collaboratively and collectively come to an agreement about how to assess the skills. Staff questionairre of the flexi-tracker- this was a fantastic way for me to assess which areas students needed training on, I was able to see their confidence level at the start of the training session and at the end! Analysis of questionairre document Additional PAG activities for students to complete incase they have performed poorly on biological drawings, graph skills or research skills. Note- you will need to add these PAGS to the flexi-tracker and add/ update the skills. NEW: Powerpoint presentation on PAG skills e.g. biological drawings, graphs etc. Having had a scary OCR monitoring visit, we were highly advised to make PAG check lists for every PAG! This has been a FANTASTIC way of documenting which skills students have met, and if not - why they did not meet a particular skill. It Also allows the monitoring visitor to see whether a student re-met the skill on a later date, therefore showing the examiner you are not freely giving away ‘mets’! Not only has this allowed us to track student’s progress, but it allows students to clearly see which criteria they need to meet, and why they have not met it, thus allowing them to use formative feedback to improve their skills. The checklists also has relevant maths skills, and a section where students can. The moderation documents are essential and will help develop consistency in marking, for all biologists in a particular department. My staff were very pleased with the moderation activities, and honestly said how much it benefited them and improved their confidence in assessing the skills. I truly hope this helps, it truly helped us as we were awarded with a pass for the practical endorsement- phewwww! please leave a review!

UPDATED with even more exam questions Here you have lessons needed to teach the Cloning and biotechnology unit from the New OCR A A-level biology on! Amazing price considering the amount of time invested! This resource bundle consists of individual power point presentations, lots of relevant important exam questions taken from the previous specification and legacy specification - it will save you a lot of time looking for these ! The best thing about this bundle is, it contains a resource on the effect of calcium ions on milk coagulation. This includes a practical pack, including investigative skills/experimental questions, technicians sheet, and also challenging evaluative questions such as limitations and improvements. Furthermore, it contains a really good evaluative pack on the experiment ‘estimating the number of microbes on the surface of peas’. Both of these experiments were used as controlled assessments in the old specifications - however, really relevant to module 1 skills- skills our students really struggle on! UPDATE: I have added 3 more exam question packs on industrial fermenters and population growth, and an exam pack on 6.4 using exam builder.

This is an absolutely amazing deal, and will save you hours worth of work! This   is becaus this superb Photosynthesis unit bundle contains - I repeat contains   EVERYTHING you need to effectively teach the unit to your A-level biology students!

Students need to verbally recall or draw diagrams, while the other person acts as the assessor.** there is a fantastic, challenging synoptic extended question where students are required to compare photophosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation, students can use the fantastic diagrams provided. Topics include: The interrelationship between respiration and photosynthesis - includes a challenging synoptic question! Chloroplast and photosynthetic pigments structure and function The light dependent stage the light independent stage photophosphorylation factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis

This test is a great way to assess your students on the following statistical tests: student T- test Chi-squared test Simpson’s index of diversity Standard deviation Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient All these statistical tests are fundamental in the new A-level biology specification, These test will allow you to see how confident your students are with applying the statistical tests and interpreting the calculated values. UPDATE: A Statistical tests pack which includes all the statistical tests questions from OCR A-level biology has now been made, This also includes a mark-scheme. I have also included a front sheet which summarises the purpose of each test, examples, describing null hypothesis using examples, and when how to reject or accept null hypothesis. Print this off if you do not want to print the tests off separately!

Lastly, smaller booklet questions is included with new specification questions on natural selection and evidence, natural selection 12 mark question, Evidence used in classification 6 mark question.

THREE annotated step-by-step guides on how to tackle synoptic and 6 mark questions on the unified paper. Majority of the questions include annotations, suggestions for synoptic links, help slides, and student exemplar answers from the examiners. You can print out questions without the annotations and help slides, and display these to the students if and when they are struggling. This will help students practice essential exam skills, which will improve their exam practice and marks! This resource also includes essential last minute unified revision questions powerpoint. Lastly, there is an essential exam skills powerpoint including definitions and examples of command words, key terms such as validity, repeatablity, accuracy, and reproducibility - with exam questions at the end of it.

Do you want to give your students some much needed practice on skills based questions on practicals, and want to identify specific areas of weaknesses? Then look no further! I have made resources which have had amazing feed back from both students AND teachers: I have made: *two practical skills tests ( a short test and a long test) These tests address all the module 1 assessment requirements, covering areas such as: Planning, analysis, interpreting data, evaluation. two booklets of ALL spec A and spec B experimental questions other smaller practical skills test packs A ‘practical skills assessed’ hand book which outlines all the requirements for module 1, including a check list for planning an experiment! UPDATE!!* I have uploaded a ‘key skills in biology’ powerpoint, this includes the differences between accuracy, precision, repeatabillity, reproducibility and validity. Also, this includes annotated practical skills questions which will help students practice essential exam skills, plus there are student exemplar answers which have been marked by examiners. Students are given examples of experimental methods in many of the questions, and are asked on many occasions to identify limitations and improvements - these questions are very common for the new specification! As head of A-level biology, I have seen a huge improvement in our students’ responses to practical skills questions after assessing them with this test! Good luck!
