A fun quiz of the year for AS Biology (AQA) - it is likely to overlap with other exam board specifications, but I cannot vouch for this! It contains nearly 90 Questions and it easily lasts an hour. Covers a range of topics, particularly from Biological molecules and cells topics, and has some more serious sections - identifying molecules/ proteins, and some less biology related rounds - flags / womens world cup badges. I have created a 1% club round based on the style of questions in the TV series, which my students have loved (those that watch actual telly and not Netflix at least!) I run it as a pub-style quiz. Groups of 2-4 students, and they mark each others after a round All answers are provided *one round (6Questions) is based on the 2023 Women��s world cup - this could be updated to 2024 Men’s world cup badges… or beyond!

2 double-sided worksheets on sampling plants. Perfect for the British summers or consolidation of the required practicals. One is a sheet on a belt transect, the other is a sheet on random sampling. Both sheets involve data analysis and working scientifically skills. Suited to the AQA Ecology topic 7, but will be relevant to other exam boards where plant sampling is required. Suggested Answers included

This is a work sheet on Maths skills for Biologists, which focusses on Logarithms and guides students through how to use their calculator to work out log calculations. It includes a comprehensive markscheme. The seconds side just includes a PPQ involving natural logs from a past paper.

A Simple presentation which includes a starter to recap the structure of the heart, and then promote discussion and to how coronary arteries may become blocked, risk factors and treatments for CHD. The powerpoint has supporting notes. The two sided worksheet includes low to higher demand questions to check understanding of CHD progression, risk factors and treatments. The dominoes are a nice pairs/individual loop activity which could be used as a starter to review heart structure and blood components

A Level Biology Maths Skills - Logarithms, Log graphs and exponential increases worksheet 4 sides and all answers included. The Worksheet gives brief summaries of the skills involved in working with factors of 10 and logarithms, as well us using 2 to the power functions for calculating the exponential increase of cell populations. 2 pages focus on dealing with log scales on graphs. My students have found these particularly useful, and these are definitiely an area for marginal gains with the examboard. The logarithmic question for AQA 2023 paper 3 was poorly answered with 17% of candidates not even attempting the question. The log graph question in 2023 paper 1 saw only 7% of students achieve 2 marks.

Genetic Engineering Cut and Stick Activity Students can sequence the process of making human insulin using genetically engineered bacteria. The sheet has a scaffoled space for them to stick their answers down and there are then follow-up questions on the second side. Projectable answers are also included

Cut and stick activity and follow-up questions on in vivo gene cloning (DNA Technology) on a double-sided file. Covers the process including: restriction enzymes, DNA ligase, marker genes, replica plating, antibiotic resistance and GFP Looks really nice if done on full colour (just don’t tell your HoD!) and full markschemes are included for the cut and stick ordering activity as well as the follow-up questions

***Get 90% off the cost of your first resource worth up to £10 with code JANUARY90. New buyers only!*** GCSE Thermoregulation cut and stick activity - get them to assemble the negative feedback loop used in temperature homeostasis

***Get 90% off the cost of your first resource worth up to £10 with code JANUARY90. New buyers only!*** Reactions of metals, metal oxides, metal hydroxides and metal carbonates with acids. Students can practise identifying the salts, or which reactants are needed to form a particular salt. For each equation they have to produce a balanced equation. This activity has worked well with my higher ability groups as a piece of AfL. The answers are actually included within a PowerPoint presentation for you to project.

***Get 90% off the cost of your first resource worth up to £10 with code JANUARY90. New buyers only!*** A PowerPoint presentation which you can use to guide your students through a rat dissection with an accompanying sheet which allows students to identify and colour organs in thoracic and abdominal views

A three sided worksheet and answers. Tackles questions to do with uncertainties within measurements. Has questions to do with single measurements, dual measurements, multiplying uncertainties and powers - links to the AQA Biology specification and the Practical handbook.

A three-sided worksheet that covers gene probes and genetic tests. It is specifically aimed for the AQA A level Biology spec, but will be appropriate for most exam boards. It assesses student understanding of some core principles, whilst running through how geentic tests are carried out for cystic fibrosis, huntington’s and digeorge syndrome (using chromsomal micro-array). Comprehensive and projectable markscheme included

Four worksheets that I have recently written in order to update some old resources that I was using. They are aimed at the Cells 3.2 AQA topic. Suggested Answers provided for all Cells and Mitosis recall worksheet (2 sided) Antibody structure and function HIV ELISA tests

GCSE blood components task - cut and stick activity for students to link function to the components of the blood. There are extension questions below the table and projectable answers too on a PowerPoint file

A Level Biology Maths Skills - Revision - Solutions and Dilutions A worksheet based activity consisting of 2 sides This worksheet explores volume conversions, calculating how much mass of a substance is required to make up a particular concentration, how to dilute a stock solution, and how to perform serial dilutions. The second side is exam style questions. Markscheme included - handwritten as the working out is all fully shown

A fun and engaging relay quiz which could be done in groups of 1-3 which covers maths skills related to enzymes, cells, heart, ecology and exchange. The maths skills covered are %, uncertainty, volumes, rate calculations, stats, sig figs to name a few. Takes about 30 minutes and provides an excellent opportunity for AfL . INSTRUCTIONS are included in the notes section of the markscheme

Play 'Pictionary-esque' games on an interactive whiteboard which includes and locked board, movable pieces and a timer
