I have been teaching Biology for 20 years and I have struggled to find concise and engaging resources for teaching Biology, which is why I have set about creating my own. I hope that my resources are enjoyed by your pupils and of course support their learning of such an interesting and great subject.

A Level Biology: Meiosis Activity
beckystokebeckystoke

A Level Biology: Meiosis Activity

(5)
A cut and stick and cloze activity aimed at A level students. The activity is designed so that students can learn and identify the key stages of meiosis and describe what happens in each of the main stages. The cloze activity allows students to become more familiar with the key terminology associated with this topic. This activity can be completed by students independently as all instructions are given on the sheets. Ideal for both teaching the topic and also as a revision aide. The activity has been provided in both an A3 and A4 format to allow for printing in either size. I would advise to print in A3 if possible as it keeps all the stages of meiosis on one sheet and makes it easier for the student to compare the two different stages of meiosis. A completed answer sheet is provided for the teacher.

GCSE Biology: Carbon Cycle worksheets and A3 wall posters UPDATED

(3)
Always a challenging topic at GCSE, this collection of visual worksheets and posters should help your students get to grips with the Carbon Cycle. There is a worksheet included, available in both colour and black and white for students to complete. Additionally a separate A4 poster for students to complete, also in colour or black and white. There is an answer sheet for the teacher included in the pack, great for non-specialists teaching GCSE Biology. Perfect for use when both teaching the topic area and also when revising. The worksheet will help students learn the parts of the Carbon Cycle and familiarise themselves with key words. As a suggestion the resource could be laminated and completed by students using OHP pens and then cleaned off for future use with other pupils. Could even be used as a short progress test with students too. There are two A3 wall posters, for classroom display, of the completed carbon cycle included too in this pack of resources. The poster comes in both colour and black and white. The black and white version could be coloured in by students if desired.

GCSE Biology: Osmosis Investigation
beckystokebeckystoke

GCSE Biology: Osmosis Investigation

(0)
This is an all inclusive worksheet pack on the well-known osmosis and potato chip investigation. In reality this practical does not always generate the expected results due to sources of error and time constraints to set up, hence why I have put this investigation pack together. All answers are provided for the teacher. The pack contains the following: Worksheet 1 introduces the set up of the investigation and pupils need to come up with a hypothesis. Pupils are given results and are asked to calculate change in mass and percentage change in mass. Three versions of the graph paper are provided, each with a different level of support, as many pupils will find drawing the graph with a negative y axis challenging. Worksheet 3 focuses on identifying the different variables and drawing a conclusion from the results. Worksheet 4 focuses on sources of error and how to improve the practical to reduce these, so focuses more on developing pupils’ evaluative skills. There are also extension questions on osmosis and its effect on cells, for those students who may work quicker through the activity.

Statistics for A level Biology

(7)
This is a very useful and comprehensive resource for students studying A level Biology. A great refresher for the teacher too or someone teaching Biology who may not be so confident when it comes to teaching statistics. The resource is a 22 page booklet which covers all the key aspects of statistics required for Biology at A level. There are worked examples and questions for the students to work through. This booklet has been designed to be fully explanatory so that students can work through it independently. The booklet is fully comprehensive and no other resources are needed; all probability tables are given with the questions. The key topics covered in the booklet are: 1.) Why use statistics on data 2.) Calculating standard deviation and its meaning 3.) The student t-test 4.) The Spearman rank correlation coefficient 5.) The Chi-squared test The booklet should take approximately two 1 hour lessons to complete, dependent on how familiar the students are with statistics. Those studying A level Maths and Geography may be more confident working through the calculations and understanding the outcomes. A separate answer booklet is provided with answers to all questions given.

A Level Biology Cell division: Mitosis and Meiosis Activity and Poster Bundle
beckystokebeckystoke

A Level Biology Cell division: Mitosis and Meiosis Activity and Poster Bundle

3 Resources
Buy the mitosis and meiosis activity packs together and get the posters for free. The two activities on mitosis and mitosis are designed so that students can learn and identify the key stages and describe what happens in each stage for the two types of cell division. The close activity included helps students to become more familiar with the key words used in the cell division topic. Both activities can be completed by the students independently as the instructions are given on the sheets. These activity packs are ideal for both teaching the topic and also as a revision aide for the students. The posters are great for display around the classroom or to give to pupils for revision. All sheets are provided in an A3 or A4 format. I would recommend printing the meiosis activity and poster on A3 paper if possible. This keeps all the stages of meiosis on one page, making it easier for students to compare the two different stages of meiosis with one another.
