2.1.1 Cell Structure
2.1.2 Biological Molecules
2.1.3 Nucleotides and Nucleic Acids
2.1.4 Biological Membranes
2.1.5 Enzymes
2.1.6 Cell DIvision, Specialisation and Organisation
A level Biology Classification and Evolution
Resources covering the Classification and Evolution section of the new A Level Biology course
Including
Bright and clear presentation covering the main concepts
bold graphic images for students to label
Key word card sorts separated into classification and evolution
links within presentation to videos demonstrating key concepts
mind map for the five kingdoms that students can annotate
An A3 summary graphic organiser with visuals covering the entire specification for this section

Photosynthesis A Level Biology A3 Overview revision diagram
Large diagram of the process of photosynthesis inside a cell without any labeling whatsoever. Opportunity for students to annotate the structures inside a chloroplast, as well as the location of light dependent and light independent stages of photosynthesis. A full z scheme for non cyclic phosphorylation is included, as well as a diagram for cyclic and a diagram showing the membrane layout of the photosystems.
Below there is an outline of the calvin cycle with just the number of carbon atoms represented at each stage so more revision opportunity here as well. The unbalanced formula tops the page with outlined letters - for further application the students can colour co-ordinate in the diagrams by colouring the different components of the forumla and relating that back to the different stages.
Would also work well laminated for revision in class
