30 flashcards designed to test A-level students on their knowledge of meiosis in an engaging & productive way. Designed for the AQA specification, but these cards would be useful for all exam boards (the final 3 flashcards are on the topic of non-disjunction, which is not relevant to all other exam boards). I use this resource as a consolidation task prior to the end-of-topic assessment. Great task for encouraging active recall, so students learn by retrieving information from their brain (as opposed to trying to put information into their brain). What does this resource include? 30 flashcards, to be printed double-sided on 3 sheets of A4 card or paper. Includes one version with the answers completed, & another version with the answer side blank for students to complete. How to use? Provide students with a set of the ‘blank answer’ flashcards and ask them to complete the answers as a homework or revision task. Print & laminate the completed flashcards to use as an activity for early finishers. Use as a class revision exercise. Also available as part of a meiosis bundle, which includes a meiosis worksheet and a foldable visual worksheet outlining the stages of meiosis.

40 marks of exam-style questions covering the A-level Biology topic of meiosis. Written for the AQA specification, but the majority of the questions are relevant to all exam boards. Non-disjunction has intentionally been set as the last question, allowing it to be easily removed for those exam boards which don’t include this sub-topic. Questions have been designed with the intention of covering as many permutations as possible with regards to meiosis exam questions, but without repetition. Useful as a homework / self-assessment / revision task before an end-of-topic test. Includes full mark scheme.

Meiosis summary worksheets for AS / A-level Biology (process has been simplified to include only two pairs of homologous chromosomes). Students can cut out each worksheet around the dotted edge and glue/tape the sheets together to produce a large summary sheet covering the entire process of meiosis. PDF includes two versions: 3 page version which includes details on individual stages of Meiosis I and II. 2 page version (more suitable for AQA) that provides an overview of Meiosis I and II and does not go into details regarding the individual stages. I have included diagrams representing the chromosomal content of cells during interphase (both prior to, and after DNA replication). I have drawn the chromosomes in interphase in the same way as the chromosomes during the meiosis (even though in interphase, the chromosomes have not yet condensed), this is just so students can clearly see what is happening to the number of chromosomes. Both versions are designed for students to colour the chromosomes to represent maternal and paternal chromosomes (and also the results of crossing-over). Versions with completed text are included, if you are short of time and would like to provide the sheets as handouts instead. However, please note, students would still need to colour the chromosomes to represent the maternal/paternal chromosomes and the outcome of crossing-over. An example of completed colouring is included on the last page of the PDF. Also available as part of a meiosis bundle which included meiosis exam-style question worksheet & active recall meiosis flashcard activity.

Photosynthesis consolidation / understanding check questions. Designed for the AQA specification, but relevant to other exam boards. 3 pages / 28 questions (plus 3 synoptic questions). Full answers included. Useful for homework / cover work / revision prior to end of topic assessment.

These worksheets cover primary and secondary succession. Also included is a page showing the diagrams used in the worksheets in colour . To accommodate all exam boards, one version of one of the worksheets includes the terms ‘deflected succession’ and ‘plagioclimax’, the other version does not. Full answer sheets are included, which could alternatively be used as handouts/revision sheets. My students love completing these visually appealing worksheets, which break topics down into manageable chunks. Clean, black-and-white diagrams are ready for students to annotate and colour – an easy way to promote active engagement and aid memory retention through visual learning. Perfect for independent study, homework, revision lessons, or as part of a retrieval practice.

I’ve been using the ‘past paper’ method for years with my students. Students complete a past paper, mark and analyse their results using MARCKS and then write SMART targets to plan targeted revision sessions. If they don’t comfortably acheive their target grade in the first attempt, they are encouraged to repeat the past paper 2-3 days later (after having completed targeted revision). I’ve found that giving students access to this editable spreadsheet has massively increased motivation to actually use the method properly and stick with it. Students can select from drop down boxes to input their current grade for Biology, Chemistry & Physics. Then they input their target grade. Everytime they complete a past paper, they can input their mark, percentage & grade. The spreadsheet has space for 3 attempts at each paper. Finally at the end of each row, students can select whether they have achieved their target grade for that past paper or not. This is designed for students studying separate sciences, a spreadsheet for trilogy students will be made available ASAP. If you need to clear the text from a cell with a drop down box - DO NOT DELETE IT as this will delete the formatting for the cell. Just select ‘none’ from the drop down box. Available as .numbers or .xlsx download. This spreadsheet does NOT seem to work on iPads I’m afraid, but I have tested it on an iMac, macbook & a laptop running excel and the formatting appears to work properly.

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. **
