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.

This bundle includes a number of pupil-led activities which are great for revision or assessing your students’ prior understanding of a topic.
There are two main types of activity included in this bundle: card sorts and loop games.
A pack of two pupil-led activities designed to engage learners in the classroom whilst studying the topic of circulation.
Activity 1 - Card sort on the sequence of blood flow through the heart.
You could either print this on paper and then cut/guillotine so that pupils could then order them in the correct sequence and glue into their classbook.
Or alternatively print onto card or laminate if on paper to create a resource that can be used again and again.
Activity 2 - Loop game on the topic of circulation.
The idea of this activity is that the pupils have to pay close attention to the question being read out as they may have the correct answer to the question. Pupils seem to really enjoy this activity and it not only helps their learning but is fun too. Either print on card or laminate if on paper to make a reusable resource for the classroom.
Both of these activities would be useful as a plenary at the end of the topic or as part of a revision lesson.
These activities are praised in observed lessons as the activity is pupil-led rather than teacher-led; especially of importance if being inspected :)
This pack contains two crosswords focusing on the plant and animal response topics. The content is primarily targeted at the OCR A Biology specification.
