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.

1.) Worksheet on the structure of the heart
2.) Worksheet on the cardiac cycle
3a.) Worksheet on the role of atrioventricular valves
3b.) Worksheet on the role of semilunar valves

A poster pack covering the stages of both mitosis and meiosis, with diagrams and detailed explanations of what is happening at each stage. Ideal for A level Biology students.
The posters are great for display around the classroom or to give to the students for revision.
