What’s Included: 23 original questions aligned to the 2025 article topics Fully written mark schemes, in the style of Edexcel’s exam board guidance A suggested topic revision list Covers essential Unit 5 content areas: DNA replication and mitosis Regulatory genes and protein synthesis Immune response and inflammation Meiosis Mutation Sex chromosome evolution Microarrays and gene expression analysis Evolutionary trees and comparative genomics Protein synthesis DNA replication Data interpretation and calculations based on real article stats Perfect for: Class revision sessions Independent study Homework tasks Mock exam prep Stretch and challenge activities for A/A* students

A PDF worksheet focusing on the DNA replication experiment devised by Meselson and Stahl. Students answer exam-style questions. Use activity for retrieval practice, revision or to check understanding. Can be used in class or as a homework activity. Answer sheet included.

A pdf file focusing on skeletal muscles. Students label the parts of the sarcomere. There is a basic diagram of the sliding filament theory that will help students describe the process of muscle contraction. Answer sheet included.

6 exam questions which focuses on the CORMS mark scheme. I have included a scaffold for students to refer to as they answer the question so they become familiar with each of the points in CORMS. Mark scheme included

A PDF worksheet focusing on the experiment which investigates which factors a growing seeds requires. Students need to determine which conditions would allow seed growth and explain their answer. Typical GCSE question. Markscheme included. This resource is great for: In-class worksheet Pre/post-test Homework assignment Support work Tes paid licence

A Word document which can be modified. It contains all of the specification points for unit 4 “Energy Flow, Ecosystems and the Environment”. I have included an exam progression tracker for the 8 exams available and have included the grade boundaries and UMS scores for each exam. These are the modular exams for unit 4 IAL but are also great exam practice for Biology A students in preparation for the June exam. I have included page references for each specification point (from the IAL Book 2 and will need to be modified for Biology A). There is also a RAG section to support student learning. I print these and give them to each student so they can follow the course but also monitor their performance in each exam.

A useful revision tool for students preparing for the Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry exam Summer 2022. The 12 paged booklet includes the specification points for students to plan their revision plus details of core practicals they could be tested on. There are also a large range of revision questions to test student knowledge. Great for class revision or homework. Supports students with revision on specific topics.

A digital escape room to check student understanding of biological molecules studied at AS level. Once you purchase the escape room, you will download a PDF file with all of the instructions for the students including the website. The escape room involves students clicking on objects which open up online activities such as multiple choice quizzes, cloze activities, and crosswords. In my opinion, my students work better with a partner as they can discuss their answers. Students are required to write some clues onto the worksheet as they will need to input these to move on to the next task. The escape room took my students around 45 minutes to complete. Students do not need to input any personal data.

PSHE lesson I am doing with my year 10 class. There is a quick quiz for career ideas included.

Students investigate Hooke´s Law with a simple practical. They use text books and their results to form their own conclusion as to what Hooke´s Law is.

A PPT with information regarding the 2 types of fibres. Students collect information about the fibres from around the room (included in PPT) and complete a table stating the differences. They can then use their knowledge to predict the types of fibres found in different animal muscles. There is an exam question and mark scheme to determine understanding of subject material. I have included the lesson plan I provided when I was observed so feel free to tweak it to suit your group.

A series of activities for students to complete in class or at home in preparation for the unit 1 examination. It is most useful to use before they attempt exam past papers. Resources include: A learning grid with focused questions to ensure students cover main topics in unit 1 (18 pages). This includes biological molecules; Heart and cardiac cycle; Blood transport system; CVD; Cell membranes; Movement across membranes; Gas exchange; Inheritance; DNA replication; Protein synthesis; Mutations Also with questions focused towards core practicals. Exam command words reminder

A PDF worksheet designed to summarise the process of protein synthesis to IGCSE students. The task is a word fill exercise but my students added comments to the diagrams to consolidate their understanding.

4 lessons focusing on the non-specific and specific responses to infection. I have split the lessons into 4 parts due to the subject material being very complex. The lessons cover Edexcel specification links 6.8 - 6.10 but can be used with other exam boards The lessons have many different opportunities for assessment and recalling previous learnt material.

A series of lessons which support the Pearson textbook for the international AS level (edexcel). These resources are also useful for online lessons to aid student’s understanding at home. Covered in these lessons: The need for a circulatory system The importance of surface area to volume ratio The advantage of a double circulatory system The structure and function of blood The role of platelets in blood clotting The role of haemoglobin in transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide The structure of the heart and the cardiac cycle Atherosclerosis I have included different activities, some individual and some which could be within a group or with a partner. Plus exam questions and tasks to check understanding.

A complete lesson focusing on the following points in the specification. Understand the structure of chloroplasts in relation to their role in photosynthesis Understand what is meant by action spectrum and absorption spectrum Understand how the chlorophyll pigments can be separated by chromatography. A variety of activities to promote discussion and learning.

Overview of aerobic respiration which focuses on Glycolysis, Link, Krebs, and Oxidative phosphorylation. The diagrams are accompanied by application questions to check students’ understanding of the stages. I suggest printing on A3 There is an answer sheet included.

Help students prepare their revision for the topic of nutrition. The questions cover both plants and animal nutrition including core practicals (Edexcel). I print the document on A3 paper and it takes around 45 - 50 minutes for able students to complete. I allow the task to be an open book activity in preparation for an exam.

POwer point lesson focusing on the structure and function of DNA in the organism including tasks and questions to challenge/extend students knowledge.

A simple pdf worksheet where students describe how gram staining works. There are some basic diagrams to help scaffold their answers. Answer sheet provided.
