A revision sheet for the AQA GCSE Biology topic ‘Studying Cells’. This is a visual sheet with various questions, colouring activities and CLOZE tasks. It gives an overview of the whole of the topics- cell structure, magnification, mitosis and the cell cycle, stem cells and transport across membranes. I have produced this with my foundation students in mind, who are perhaps lacking motivation with the exam season fast approaching. There is a set of dominoes included which contain 15 dominoes which students can cut out to form a loop of Q&A for the cells topic. the formatting of these dominoes looks wring on the preview but I can assure you it is fine when you download then

A PowerPoint which explores how DNA Methylation of promotors and Acetylation of histones affects gene expression. It is well illustrated and explores its implications in genetic disorders (prader-willi and angelman) as well as cancer. The worksheet then explores these concepts, which have suggested answers provided via the markscheme.

***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!*** 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

Autosomal Linkage and Chi-Squared A Level Biology PowerPoint Presentation - 11 slides long. It is a comprehensive Powerpoint with useful animations which I have used many times to successfully walk my A level students through autosomal linkage. Most of the slides have information in the 'notes' section to help guide you through each slide. Covers the following: Why drosophila are used as a model organism Chi-squared in genetics Autosomal linkage How linkage is used in mapping

This is a visual sheet with various questions, colouring activities and CLOZE tasks. It gives an overview of the whole of the topic - communicable disease examples, body’s front line defences, white blood cells and immunity, vaccines, anitbiotics and resistance, and drug development.It looks great in A3. I have produced this with my foundation students in mind, who are perhaps lacking motivation with the exam season fast approaching. However, there are questions dotted throughout to stretch the student’s thinking

***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

***Get 90% off the cost of your first resource worth up to £10 with code JANUARY90. New buyers only!*** An alternative task to assembling a human skeleton - engage your students by getting them to assemble a gorilla skeleton using the printout on card and split pins. Use this to teach about skeletal structure (organ systems), to compare homologous features between humans and apes whilst teaching evolution, or as a fun activity for your 'Science club'!

36 dominoes which assess A level Classification and Biodiversity - great individual or paired task

***Get 90% off the cost of your first resource worth up to £10 with code JANUARY90. New buyers only!*** Students have to complete a challenging cut and stick activity to consider impacts of base deletions, additions and substitutions, on the base and amino acid sequences.

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 associated comprehension tasks, along with a projectable markscheme (PPT file). The cut and stick covers both stages of meiosis and genetic recombination, and provides a nice 20-30 minute activity that has proven to be an effective AfL task with my own classes, which was well received.

A visual 13 slide presentation which runs through the Sanger sequencing method in a fully animated comprehensive manner. The starter slide explores nucleotide structure and dideoxynucleotides. The slides then move onto the reaction, gel electrophoresis, autoradiograph production, and some key points about the value of genome sequencing.

A fun, engaging and competitive class quiz, in which teams of students (2-3 ideal) work through a set of questions assessing their knowledge on gene expression. It typically lasts 20-30 minutes and provides a great opportunity for verbal feedback. Instructions are provided within the PPT notes.

***Get 90% off the cost of your first resource worth up to £10 with code JANUARY90. New buyers only!*** GCSE Chemistry , ions and ionic bonding lesson resources: Use white and milk chocolate buttons to allow students to discover the process of ion formations and how ionic bonds form. This pack includes a starter activity on atomic structure, Lesson PowerPoint with Learning Objectives and animations, the chocolate button worksheet and the atom scaffolding sheet (best blown up to A3). I have done this activity with many classes over the last few years and the kids love it and engage!

***Get 90% off the cost of your first resource worth up to £10 with code JANUARY90. New buyers only!*** A cut and stick activity in which students can compare aerobic respiration with anaerobic respiration. On the back there are some questions which encourage students to think about the reactions in a practical context. Projectable answers are included
