Lessons include:
- Lesson Plan – a clear overview of the lesson, links to specification, three main objectives, keywords, resources, starters, 3 main activities and plenaries. Ideas are also included for differentiation for lower and more able students.
- PowerPoint – with lesson objectives and keywords on each slide.
- Additional resources – printable sheets for starters/plenaries/investigations.
- Support sheets – guidance for demonstrations and practical activities
All of these lessons will be continually updated and so please continue to revisit these resources for the most up to date resources.

A set of three planning cards that support students through the necessary steps to complete a successful investigation.
Steps include:
- Forming a hypothesis
- Research
- Method
- Variables - Independent, dependent and controls.
- Risk Assessment
- Conclusion
- Graphs
These can be printed on A1 sheets to make as a classroom display. They can also be printed as A3, laminated and then students can use post it notes to complete.
This is designed to familiarise students with the how science works terminology and format for laying out a clear practical.

A full set of flash cards to aid revision. Question on one slide and then key responses on the following slide. These can be printed or saved on a phone to use.
All of the key topics are covered on the flash cards, including cells, specialised cells, photosynthesis, respiration, adaptations, glucose, limiting factors, enzymes, pH, distribution of organisms, digestive system, DNA, chromosomes, mitosis, meiosis, stem cells, genes, genetic crosses, genetic disorders and more.
A full set of flash cards to aid revision. Question on one slide and then key responses on the following slide. These can be printed or saved on a phone to use.
All of the key topics are covered on the flash cards, including diffusion, active transport, osmosis, leaves, stomata, breathing, respiration, gaseous exchange, heart, blood, transport, blood vessels, vein, artery, capillary, homoeostasis, temperature regulation, kidneys, dialysis, glucose regulation, population, greenhouse effect, deforestation, biofuels, food production, sustainability and more.
The idea works that students should know the core building blocks around the edge of the page. The task therefore is to summarise these key points in the middle, only focusing on the things they have forgotten:
The final task is to get this all on to a postcard - their revision notes to take away! This makes it all manageable for the student.
Topics covered:
Cells, enzymes, specialised cell, digestion, genes, mitosis, meiosis, chromosomes, bile, pancreas, villi,
Revision loop card activity for Additional Biology. Students need to cut out the cards and then sequence them so that the question on one card matches the answer on the next one. If the student get them correct, it will form a loop.
The answer sheet is also provided so that you can quickly check response and identify any mistakes made by the student(s).
A great activity to challenge students - who is quickest; to assess students and highlight misconceptions.
Loop cards include questions about:
cells, specialised cells, sperm, palisade, diffusion, osmosis, membrane, mitochondria, ribosome
This booklet supports a series of lesson and is designed for Entry Level/SEND students to allow them to access the key elements of science. If used in a mixed ability class, these booklets allow students to keep pace with the rest of the class whilst personalising the challenge and support they require.
The booklet is part of a series of booklets with a variety of tasks including matching keywords and definition, scaffolding, extended answers, research and a lot of practical work with matching results tables/graphs.

Students have their own bingo cards and then the slides gone through with different questions. Students can be awarded for a row or a full house.
Topics include: nerves, hormones, diet, auxins, genetics and more.
A very easy to use multiple choice quiz where students can show their answers on whiteboards, by holding up pre-made cards with A-D on them or write answers in their books.
This covers the C1 AQA Science-A unit. Other quizzes for the other topics are available on the TES too.
