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 Chloroplast Mitochondria Action potential graph Sarcomere Nephron Download includes: 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.

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.

Triple and Higher Tier only content is marked, so these questions are suitable for all candidates. Topics included in download: Atomic structure and the periodic table Bonding, structure and the properties of matter Quantitative chemistry (with worked examples) Chemical changes Energy changes 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 teachsecondaryscience@gmail.com and the resource will be updated ASAP.

Three worksheets designed for students to practice interpretation of p-values, writing a null hypothesis & selecting an appropriate statistical test (with a reason) and writing a conclusion based on selection of and interpretation of a critical value. 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. **

Self-assessment maths and statistics skills booklet aimed at helping those students who do not do A-level Maths/Chemistry/Physics and lack confidence with the maths requirement. Full mark scheme included (full solutions, not just the final answer). Contains 63 marks worth of questions involving: percentage change graph drawing dilution calculations ratios uncertainties logarithms bacterial division calculations standard form magnification rate of reaction unit conversions significant figures chi-squared Student’s t-test Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient Index of diversity Whilst AQA don’t have to be able to perform statistical calculations in the exam, it’s sometimes helpful to have practiced doing so as it aids their understanding of how the outcomes of statistical tests are interpreted. Most questions are therefore relevant for all exam boards with the exception of the index of diversity question, which uses the AQA/Edexcel equation as opposed to the slightly different equation used for OCR.

OCR Required practical revision notes/sheets covering the 12 PAGS required for A-level Biology. Please note, not all possible variations for each PAG are included, please see below for exactly which specific practicals are included. 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. Includes: PAG 1: microscopy - root tip squash PAG 2: dissection (general practical skills/questions relevant to any dissection) PAG 3: sampling techniques PAG 4: rates of enzyme-controlled reactions (covers general questions on e.g. initial rate of reaction, DOES NOT cover specific enzyme practicals due to there being so many different variations). PAG 5: 3 different practical sheets included (factors affecting membrane permeability, determining glucose concentration & potometers). PAG 6: 2 different sheets included (electrophoresis & using chromatography to investigate plant pigments [paper chromatography method, not TLC]. PAG 7: Microbial techniques, 2 different sheets included (effect of antibiotics on bacterial growth & dilution plating to determine microbial density) PAG 8: Calibration curve to investigate water potential PAG 9: Qualitative tests for biological molecules PAG 10: Data logger & computer modeling (methods not included for this PAG, just key points from previous mark schemes). PAG 11: two sheets included (effect of exercise on heart rate & heart rate changes in Daphnia). PAG 12: research skills (rate of respiration example used - also includes common questions on respirometers).
