Serial dilution / dilution series calculation worksheet for A-level Biology.
Part of a growing bundle of worksheets aimed at improving maths skill confidence for A-level Biologists.
21 marks of AS/A2 exam style serial dilution / dilution series questions.
Full mark scheme and serial dilution explanation/method with worked example included.
Of particular relevance to AQA required practicals 3 and 6. However, the questions are not exam board specific and would be useful to any practical involving serial dilutions.
Percentage change and Hardy-Weinberg calculation worksheets also available.
This is always a popular lesson with my students. Great as a revison / consolidation task.
All relevant to OCR, with the exception of the virus diagram.
14 diagrams for students to label:
Biological molecules
Bonds
Animal cell
Plant cell
Prokaryotic cell
Virus
Stages of mitosis
Antibody structure
Heart

PDF with A4 sized diagrams and A4 answers for each diagram (I use this as a presentation)
Student answer sheet with 4 diagrams per A4 page (only 2 on the last page).
If you don’t have time to dedicate an entire lesson to this task, you could set the A4 sized diagram file as a revision homework task or go through one diagram at random as a lesson starter.
AQA Required practical revision notes/sheets covering the 12 A-level required practicals (redox indicator & respirometer included for required practical 9)
Despite being worth 15% of the marks, so many students don’t allocate specific revision time to the required practicals. I designed these sheets for my own students to encourage specific revision of the practicals and have seen a great improvement in practical knowledge and the ability to answer practical-based questions.
Each sheet includes key information, an example method (where relevant) and most importantly, exam-style questions and model answers.
The model answers for the exam-style questions have been written based on previous mark schemes, but I cannot guarantee that future mark schemes will be exactly the same. The model answers are for guidance only. Students should be encouraged to use these sheets as a starting point and update/annotate with any further information as needed.
This resource can also be purchased as part of the AQA A-level Biology Revision Bundle, which includes:
Section 1-8 Flashcards
Practical skill flashcards
Required practical 1-12 revision sheets
Please note that I can accept no responsibility for your final exam grade should you choose to use these revision resources. These resources are intended to help students actively revise, but students should be aware that a high proportion of the marks in your exams are AO2 and AO3 marks and students should therefore use a variety of resources and techniques in preparation for all of the question styles that will be encountered in the exam. Whilst these resources have been written with past mark schemes in mind, there is no guarantee that future mark schemes will be the same.
Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this resource, but I am only human, so if you spot an error, please email teachandlearnstem@gmail.com and the resource will be updated ASAP.
Over 800 questions and answers covering the AQA A-level Biology specification.
Fantastic resource for self-assessment or for students to test each other.
Please note, this resource does NOT cover the required practicals. Detailed practical revision sheets are available separately.

Printable revision timetables ideal for GCSE and A-level students.
Download contains 4 different colour options, plus one black and white version.
For each different colour, there is an option with time slots already completed & a blank version for students to choose their own timings for each session.
The two hour slots at the beginning & end of each day are for completing past papers - for any other revision, make sure you have a break after 1 hour of revising. I personally don’t suggest students timetable revision for early in the morning and late in the evening on the same day - choosing one or the other is usually best, depending on when students work best.
Please don’t purchase this version anymore - it is only available so that those who have already purchased it can still download the file. It will be deleted after the last 2025 exam.
