A set of 26 references, identifying students skills. Easy to adapt to your class, and highlight where you will need to add in names or change he/she.
I am a A Level Biology Teacher who has taught the AQA specification for over 11 years.
These are SIMPLE but COMPLETE lessons, lasting roughly 50 minutes to 1 hour.
They follow the standard form of lessons complete with the following;
Starters

They are not formatted with any particular design so that you can copy and paste them into your school’s powerpoint layouts.
This is a part of a series of lessons I am making, based on the idea that when you download resources from TES you often have to reformat to your school’s own powerpoint layouts. This can be very time consuming as often the layout significantly changes. These are made on the basic layout of ppts so that there is minimal disruption to the layout.
They are not designed to present straight to students but a much cheaper alternative - they are for you to make your own.

PLEASE NOTE I have included some exam style questions relating to the topics however they are not being sold as a part of the price and are free as these are public documents.
Why This Lesson?
This resource bridges the gap between maths and biology, helping students develop essential skills that directly relate to data analysis, experimental results, and exam questions. The focus on precision, accuracy, and application ensures students are well-prepared for the demands of AQA Biology.
A set of questions with examples of eyepiece graticules and stage micrometers so students can practice calculating.
Scaffolded questions: with a long example, long practice and then short. Then goes into students working out themselves. Differentiated low to high.
UPDATED: Now includes mark scheme and instructions on how to make your own questions with pictures to put on sheet or power point etc.
This revision session has several knowledge and application tasks for an approx. 1 hour lesson. Students can complete each task together or on their own, mark their own work and make improvements. It is linked to the AQA 2016 Science GCSE and does not require you to print out any resources (unless you want to). All on the ppt slide!
Topic: Photosynthesis and Respiration

Need a way of differentiating work in a revision lesson? Look no further. Student led differentiation on one 'plate' with our Dinner Menus. Students complete the appetizer together then select a starter, main, and have the option of a dessert. Starters are also sub-differentiated (low, medium and high) and a range of different mini activities for the main. Really useful, really simple and really really effective. Best bit? It is all done for you, no work necessary.
This is a two page (12 diagrams in total) worksheets for students to fill in the A level electron structure of an atom or an ion.
Could be cut up, diagrams can be made bigger etc.
Useful for practice.
