2 Lessons on how to structure a synoptic essay, how the mark scheme is awarded and how to include ‘importance’ in the essay. Lessons include - ppt breaking down the marksheme with examples of importance to A-level standard. 2 essays for students to mark - to show they understand the markscheme (blank and marked versions) detailed essay plans for 2 essay titles Blank essay planning grid. 20 essay titles to plan - I normally get students planning these in pairs and then scan in a booklet of 20 essay plans they can take away.

PPT designed to accompany required practical 1 of the practical endorsement for the new AQA A-level spec. Includes the purpose of a lab-book and how this should be set out. Also includes a method for the affect of temperature on the rate of reaction of trypsin. Guides students through each step of risk assessment, results analysis, conclusion and evaluation. Also includes extension activity to boost maths skills by calculating the temperature coefficient.

Powerpoint to guide students through Required Practical 6 for AQA Biology Year 1. (AS) Covers Aseptic technique, Measuring Zone of Inhibition and Bacterial growth curves.

ppt to accompany required practical 8. Explains the theory behind the practical (which is the Hill experiment), provides a detailed method and includes conclusion and analysis questions.

AQA A-Level Biology Understanding Stats 2- Uncertainty and choosing a stats test LO Identify Uncertainties in measurements and use to calculate percentage error Select the correct statistical test and explain why - T-test, chi squared and correlation coefficient. Includes ppt featuring exam question walkthroughs.

An introduction to the synoptic essay on paper 3 of the AQA Biology A-level. I deliver this as 2 lessons. Lesson 1 includes the following… choose topics relevant to the essay title understand the mark scheme and why essays are awarded each band of marks. Explore ways in which we can link topics to the main theme of the question ie the importance of (this is what students find hardest to do and what they need to be able to do gain the top 2 bands of marks) Lesson 2 Includes the following… discussion of marked examples from AQA website Students use markscheme to mark essay examples - unmarked and marked essays included. NOTE I designed this ppt to introduce essays to my year 12s at the end of the AS course. Topics relevant to the essay titles from year 13 could certainly be added if you were using this year 13 students. There is another version in my shop for year 13.

In order to complete required practical 12 we took our students out on a field trip. They had to investigate the population of water invertebrates at 4 locations, a canal, a brook man made ponds and a hoverfly lagoon. They then took measurements of 5 different aspects of the water chemistry; turbidity, ammonia, nitrates, phosphorus and oxygen. Students write up a full report in which they carry out statistical analysis (chi squared and Simpson's diversity index) Resource includes ppt on eutrophication, a plan of action for the field trip, data recording sheet, methods for the water chemistry tests, invertebrate identification charts and a help sheet showing what the students needed to include in their report. Students were asked to give a presentation to report their findings to the rest of the class.

Investigation into the effect of temperature on the rate of respiration of cultures of yeast. Includes objective and background theory of practical, method, and discussion questions.
