The resource consists of a set of 4 source sheets (one for each level of protein structure) and a summary sheet for students to complete collaboratively. Suggested Lesson Plan: Sort class into 4 groups and give each group access to a few copies of one of the source sheets (potentially on different colours of card with numbers on the back as pictured). Give them a post-it note and allow 6 minutes (adjust as necessary based on your own judgement) to summarise the information on their respective source sheet. Do note the primary and quarternary source sheets are conceptually easier so could be used for differentiation. Then take in the source sheets and ask students to self sort into groups of four consisting of a person from each of the four original groups and help each other complete the note sheet. You can use time intervals to keep this moving on apace. Combined with past paper questions to aid afl this was part of an outstanding lesson when observed.

This double-sided worksheet consists of 9 comprehension and recall questions targeted at the knowledge and understanding required of AQA A level students. With full markscheme it can be used by yourself to assess students or can be peer/self assessed with the markscheme projected on the board, allowing quick afl in your lesson. It can also be used as a revision resource to check recall. It ties in perfectly with my Glucose regulation cut and stick activity also available on here/from my shop.

A double sided worksheet looking at the nervous system and its role in homeostasis with a worked example in the form of thermoregulation. Questions are short answer, complete the diagram or matching so the sheet is suitable for most ability levels as a summary activity. A full markscheme is included

The resource consists of a 16 slide PowerPoint, a short summary worksheet, and practical task worksheet. The PowerPoint details learning objectives and a starter/stimulus activity for students before diverging into four separate sections which can be navigated from the central menu. The four sections deal with: Explaining Refraction; Ray Diagrams; Lenses; and Refraction in real life. Each section consists of animated slides and diagrams which help explain all the necessary content with a few optional extras for those more capable classes. The summary sheet should serve to help students reflect on and revise the taught concepts and ties in with the PowerPoint. The Practical Worksheet talks students through a series of experiments using rayboxes and prisms/lenses (Specifically rectangular prisms and converse lens prisms - though an extension activity allows for further experimentation) and has an open-ended extension activity for more able students.

This worksheets consists of 2 sides: The First depicts the Carbon Cycle in diagrammatic form for students to complete either as a summary exercise/recap/or from another source (such as a textbook). The second side consists of a series of questions on the carbon cycle with each questions suggested mark value included.

This is a 2 sided revision summary sheet ideally printed on A3. It has particular relevance to year 11 modules of study and includes annotation of diagrams, a crossword, matching tasks, electron shell diagrams and various cloze activities that link to detailed illustrations. It seeks to remind and reinforce understanding of atomic structure including electron shells, covalent bonding, ionic bonding and hydrogen bonding linking to the dissolving of ionic compounds.

This package contains resources intended to introduce the subject of Reflection The PowerPoint (made up of 7 slides) is carefully designed to introduce key scientific concepts regarding reflection including virtual images, specular and diffuse reflection, image distance. It includes learning objectives, a starter activity consisting of stimulus image with points for discussion/consideration and a mini practical for students to explore image distance for themselves. Diagrams contain simple animations to help explain key points. The summary worksheet (and mark scheme) also introduces students to the drawing of the normal as well as angles of incidence and reflection.

Aimed at GCSE this task sheet is intended to guide students through their first attempts at using an optical microscope. At the end of the task students will have focused their microscope at different magnifications, made a scientific drawing of the onion cells, measured a cell using an eyepiece graticule and calculated the magnification of their drawing.

A double-sided worksheet (with markscheme). The worksheet requires students to work out the efficiency of energy transfers at different trophic levels and consider these in a real world context. Questions examine where energy is lost at each stage and also begins to link this to the sustainability of food production.

The resource is targeted at a GCSE required practical on the AQA scheme of work. Contents include a PowerPoint of 9 slides, a foundation and higher level practical worksheet (differentiated around drawing the results table), a purpose made excel spreadsheet for recording class data for detailed analysis and a printable template you can stick on a metre rule to measure reaction time. The PowerPoint includes a stimulus activity that recaps the nervous pathway and 3 slides outlining animal reaction times/speeds of response for comparison/stimulation of interest. The practical sheet includes full instructions for students and some summary questions. The excel spreadsheet is locked for editing aside from an area for students to complete in a central location (ie- projected onto the whiteboard) and will draw a graph complete with range bars based on average class data. The graph can be printed after the practical as required to allow more detailed analysis of class results.

This double sided worksheet covers the major structures within eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells and, when finished provides an excellent revision resource. It also references to other relevant topics including microscope types and scales.

This worksheet includes a colour in key and complete the diagram task alongside a number of short answer questions. A PowerPoint mark scheme is also included.

This sheet looks at how glucose is transported across epithelial cells of the small intestine and into the blood. It requires students to demonstrate their understanding of active transport (the Sodium-Potassium pump) and co-transport in a series of tasks and questions. A full markscheme is included.

The resource consists of a page of tiles and a grid for sticking them on to which links seral stage to environmental conditions. An animated markscheme (PowerPoint) is also included which can be projected to help students with the task and/or used to aid discussion.

This sheet, printed at A3 provides a full summary of both the Light Dependent and Light Independent reactions of photosynthesis presented as a detailed flow chart. There is room for annotation as students revise/as you talk through the processes.

The worksheet focuses on student understanding of the experiments carried out by Nirenberg and Khorana to determine which codons/triplets code for which amino acids. The worksheet details their investigations into the genetic code and provides a scaffold for students to draw conclusions from their original data. This is sound practice for questions of this type, which are becoming an increasingly frequent aspect of examinations. It also serves to consolidate on existing knowledge regarding the genetic code and is a useful reflection activity in its own right.

This relay-style revision quiz has proven extremely popular with my students and uses gentle competition to motivate students even further. Instructions for use are in an included sheet and reproduced below. Obviously this activity allows opportunities for frequent assessment for learning and also allows stronger students to help inform weaker ones. Instructions: Print out the first 4 slides of the PowerPoint file single-sided and use a guillotine to cut them out, staple them into booklets as shown below. Different coloured paper helps but is not essential. Print a markscheme for your own use. Split your group into differentiated teams of 3 (try to have a mixture of abilities in each team). Teams have to collect individual sheets from the booklets, complete the question, and then take it to the teacher for marking. If correct, they can collect the next sheet in the booklet and progress. If not they may be given a hint before returning to their team to try again (Note, I find this works best if they are forced to rotate team members through these tasks). A prize may be offered and periodic announcements of which team is up to which question can be made to encourage a sense of urgency.

This sheet forms a summary of the action of ADH and how it affects water reabsorption in the kidneys. The finished diagram excellently serves to illustrate osmoregulation as part of a negative feedback system.
