A fill in the gaps task to get students thinking about the general key features of biopsychology.
I found this helpful for the beginning of year 13 to get the students thinking about how the approaches can be used to explain a variety of psychological conditions
Approaches Booklet adapted from A Level booklet. (See my other resources for the A level Booklet)
Includes the following approaches: Biological, Behavioural, Cognitive, Evolutionary and Psychodynamic.
Includes the following approaches: Behavioural, Biological, Cognitive, Evolutionary and Psychodynamic.
This is an activities document which will get them thinking about the approaches in a more general way so that they can apply them to anything.
This includes a range of ability tasks. A good thing to get the A level students to do over the holidays
Additionally, the first half is a critical evaluations document which explains what it is and how they can apply it to their work.
Hope this helps, please let me know if anything can be improved, any feedback would be appreciated
Flip teaching has been shown to be a real success in the US and now the UK has joined in on this. This resource could be used as a homework task before their first OCD lesson, or you could use it in class as a starter activity.
Hope this helps and any comments would be greatly appreciated
This booklet contains higher level reading including exerts from Journals and news articles which would be appropriate for gifted and talented students and A-A* students.
I suggest using it as a extra resource that they could get on with at home to boost their wider reading. However you could also go over it together as a class.
Any feedback would be really helpful.
I made this originally for my 1st Year Degree Students, so it is not officially for any particular exam board and parts of it are complex. However may be a useful resource for A and A* students which they could read and do over summer to get a more in depth understanding of the biological approach.
It includes: Neurons, The Brain, The Visual System, Colour Vision, Brain Damage and Neuroplasticity
Hope this helps! Please comment if you feel I could improve resource some how any feedback would be really useful!
Using the burger structure, I have created a worksheet to help students to think of generic activities which they can use throughout the exam. This is to show them that they don't need to learn specific evaluations, they can make generic burgers more specific.
The resource is based on the work of Zimmerman (2002) and explains what independent learning looks like. It explains what makes an independent learner, including the processes involved in effective revision.
It includes questions for students to consider and some small tasks for them to complete.
The starter is based on Psychology A-level but the resource otherwise is across all subjects
If you are interested in improving your students independent learning, this is the resource for you!
This resource is based on my own MSc in Teaching and Learning and summarises the main findings of the work.
AQA A-level Revision calendar starting from the 1st April 2024.
It includes all the core topics and three of the options: Aggression, Schizophrenia and Relationships but is editable so you can change it.
I have included a variety of resources here which will help to get the students thinking about what eating disorders are.
Additionally, a mini project which could potentially be done at the end of the unit to see how much they have learnt. However, you could use these resources in several different ways.
Hope you find these helpful and please feel free to comment with anything you feel you could improve these resources.
This resource uses the well known board game to help your students revise. Students are each given a counter with space to write their name on, then roll the dice and move round the board. Students have to hand in the answers to the question before they can move on. The first player to make it round the board wins!
This booklet has a week by week psychology homework activity for each section of the topic. It includes 3 tasks each week:
A mindmap of the key content for the sub-topic
An applied retrieval activity
Exam question practice
There is a homework answer sheet for each weeks homework
Teaching suggestion: give the students the weeks homework and ask them to complete all the tasks, get them to mark last weeks homework as well. The teacher then visually checks the students have completed the task but does not take up precious lesson time.
I print the whole booklet for them in one go and upload an electronic copy of the answers to the previous weeks homework to our homework platform.

This resource is designed for early on in the Psychology EDEXCEL / OCR / AQA specification for GCSE. It includes Research Methods practice where students have to read a scenario about a study and then identify the Research Methods features and strengths and weaknesses of them.
By the end of the booklet they would have covered everything in the Research Methods topic.
At my school we use this for the year 9 homework on a biweekly basis and therefore can be the homework for the majority of the year.
It includes a powerpoint with all the answers on it so the students can self-mark it or the teacher can mark it.
