Diagrams and Visual Aids: Clear, labeled diagrams illustrating the stages of meiosis.
Student-Friendly Language: Concise explanations to facilitate comprehension and retention.
Application and Synoptic Links: Real-life examples and connections to other areas of the AQA Biology syllabus, including inheritance and evolution.
Suitable For:
AQA A-Level Biology students aiming to master meiosis for Paper 1 and Paper 2.
Teachers looking for high-quality resources to reinforce and assess learning
Combined Science Plants and ecosystems unit Biology
I noticed there were very limited resources targeted towards lower-level Science GCSE and wanted to make resources that were engaging and fun. Complex information has been broken down while using questioning to stretch many of the students at a variety of levels.
My PowerPoint slides include:
visually appealing graphics that encourage engagement throughout a lesson
‘Do now’ activities with music to encourage fast and easy settling as the pupils arrive to lesson.
Progress steps: By having the student’s track their own progress, it creates ownership of goal achievement. The graphic representation of the students’ progress can be highly motivating. If improvements are not achieved, students can reflect on what changes need to be made to the intervention plan.
On screen timers that aid SEND students
Peer and self-assessments (AfL)
Formative assessments (exam-style questioning, linking questions)
Plenary activities.

A-Level KS5 Edexcel
Cell cycle and mitosis
This resource has been made and review upon reflection since teaching groups of KS5 students in terms of questioning, clarifying complex information and breaking it down to higher understanding.
Curated for GCSE students who want to revise/learn topic CB1 Paper 1 and 2 Key concepts in Biology
Edexcel Biology Combined Biology content – Following the Edexcel curriculum.
Neatly organised and can be used in conjunction of teaching and learning in school.
For me as a teacher I find these most helpful to students when I print these booklets and hand them out to my students before the start of a new unit/topic.
This booklet includes the following (please read before purchasing to find out if this will be useful for you and your students!)
Chapter pages from the curriculum book (I use ActiveLearn Pearson).
BBC revision spreads for each chapter.
Every style of past paper exam question for each chapter in the topic (found on exam wizard).
Mark schemes for the teacher
All credit goes to Pearson Edexcel and Revise Edexcel GCSE (9-1) Biology Revision Guide - Higher.
This lesson was created by following the chapter from Pearson Edexcel Active Learn book.
