Revision sheets for required practicals 1-6 (AQA AS Biology).
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.
Available as part of a bundle with Section 1-4 flashcards & spaced repetition timetable for the summer holidays in between Year 12 and Year 13.
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.

FULL ANSWERS are included in the download. Wording of answers is based on past mark schemes wherever possible. If you disagree with any of the answers, please email me at teachsecondaryscience@gmail.com and changes will be made if needed.
I use worksheet 1 and 2 in lessons, with students talking through the correct answers for revision (or they could complete the worksheet as homework on lined paper, these two worksheets don’t include answer spaces).
The third worksheet is useful as a homework task in the run-up to the A-level exams & includes answer spaces.
Worksheet 1: 10 questions
Example question = A study investigates the effect of a new antibiotic on bacterial growth. The researchers calculate a p-value of 0.03. What can the researchers conclude about the effectiveness of the antibiotic?
Worksheet 2: 8 questions
For each scenario, students must write a null hypothesis, select a statistical test and give a reason as to why that test is appropriate.
Worksheet 3: Three page worksheet consisting of 3 multi-part questions.
The main focus of this worksheet is for students to practice selecting the right critical value from part of a critical value table & then coming to a conclusion based on whether the calculated value is greater than or less than the critical value.
**PLEASE NOTE this resource DOES NOT include any questions which require students to perform calculations using statistical tests. **
