Fantastic practical exam questions on 6.4 cloning and biotechnology - completely compatible with OCR A-level biology A specification!
This bundle contains exam questions on planning an experiment on renin, a synoptic question on asexual and sexual reproduction
This also 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!
If you like this bundle, then buy my full bundle, with ALL the lessons!
Over 13 resources on 3.3 Transport in plants, for the new OCR A-level A specification.
This includes, powerpoint presentations on all the lessons, activities and exam questions!
Two powerpoint presentations that help students work through 6 mark questions on the cardiac cycle and double and single circulatory systems.
There are differentiated 6 mark questions, on a 6 mark question framework, enabling students to plan out their answers. The framework. The framework includes a key word box, command words section, plan section and assessment criteria boxes. The higher ability students would need to come up with their own assessment critiera, however the lower ability students can use the assessment criteria provided.
This is suitable for for the new OCR gateway 9-1 specification, IGCSE and many other specifications!
The powerpoint presentation shows how you can use these assessments as a peer-assessment or self assessment tool! For example, for the cardiac cycle question, there are exam answers for students to assess themselves using the assessment critieria.
Highly recommended by OCR monitoring visitor!!
Here we have personalised, student-friendly check lists for students to use to self-assess themselves against the criteria for each PAG. Teachers can also assess students skills, write the comment and date, and sign at the bottom.
If students improve their work, it can be clearly written on the check-list on the ‘date achieved’ section.
Additionally, i have added extra PAGs I have devised in order to allow students to meet skills they may have not met at the end of the two years. These are on skill areas:
Graphs, biological drawings, collecting data and research skills.
If you like this bundle- then please check out my HUGE Practical endorsement bundle, which has excellent resources and everything needed for a head of biology to implement practical endorsement.
