Cell structure summary worksheets for A-level Biology.
What is included? 4 label & colour worksheets:
Animal cell (includes one version with centrioles and one without)
Plant cell
Prokaryotic cell (includes one version with pili & mesosomes, and one without)
Viruses (not a cell, I know! However comparisons between eukaryotic cells/prokaryotic cells/viruses are a common exam question)
Full answer sheets are included, which could also be used as a handout.
Please note - the coloured animal cell shown on the preview is just an example of how students could colour in the cells, this coloured version is not included - all cells are black and white in the download.
My students love completing these visually appealing worksheets, which break topics down into manageable chunks. Clean, black-and-white diagrams are ready for students to annotate and colour – an easy way to promote active engagement and aid memory retention through visual learning.
If you find these worksheets useful I would really appreciate a positive review. Equally, any constructive feedback would be gratefully received and changes can be made accordingly - please email teachandlearnstem@gmail.com if you have any problems and I will rectify ASAP.

If you find yourself needing to cover a KS3 chemistry lesson, this bundle of no-prep activities will keep your class engaged in your absence. All your class will need is access to a periodic table, access to the internet (only for 1 of the worksheets) and a print-out of the desired activities.
What’s included?
A student-information sheet on the periodic table with a worksheet to complete (includes an extension task).
A ‘research an element’ worksheet. Either let students pick their own element or who ever is covering the lesson could use a random-word generator to assign each student a different element (students will need access to the internet for this activity).
A ‘mystery element’ quiz worksheet - solve the periodic table-based clues to find the mystery element.
A 10-question powerpoint periodic table quiz. Divide the class into pairs / small groups. Who can name an element named after a planet? Who knows an element which is magnetic? Any idea which country is named after silver?? (please note - in order to avoid formatting issues, the powerpoint slides are NOT editable)
All of these activities are suitable for a cover lesson as full answers are included.
Activities can be mixed and matched based on lesson length / class ability / prior knowledge of this topic.
Scaffolded worksheet suitable for KS3 or GCSE (2 versions included, one for exam boards who don’t need to know that Group 2 are also known as the alkaline earth metals, and another version for those that do).
Fully completed, colour version is included.
Great task for a cover lesson.
Label and colour each section of the periodic table. Extension task - fill in the symbols for the first 20 elements.
BONUS - also includes a full periodic table colouring sheet for early finishers.
Summary / consolidation worksheets for AQA GCSE Physics (triple) Topic 7 Magnetism and Electromagnetism.
6 worksheets with covering:

Transformers
Completed versions of all worksheets are also included, which could be used as handouts if you find yourself short of time.
Great for revision prior to an end-of-topic test or could be used for cover work.
Since introducing this style of worksheet with my students, I have seen improvements across all abilities.
The worksheets are black and white to allow students to highlight and add colour, which is thought to aid the formation of visual memories.
I’d really appreciate a positive review if you find these worksheets helpful. Equally if you spot an error or have a suggestion which would improve the worksheets, please do let me know and I will make the alteration(s) and upload updated versions. Thank you!

Nerve Impulses (AQA Section 6) summary worksheets for A-level Biology.
3 worksheets:
The action potential
Refractory period + propagation of a nerve impulse along a non-myelinated neurone.
Factors which affect speed of conduction (temperature, axon diameter, myelination).
Since introducing these visual summary worksheets, I have seen improvements across all abilities.
Download includes differentiated versions for the second two worksheets (one scaffolded ‘fill in the blank’ style worksheet, and one with blank answer spaces).
Full answer sheets are included, which could also be used as a handout.
The action potential worksheet is available as a fully completed version, to be used as a revision sheet or a version with the just the diagram and graph, for students to add their own text to. This leaves teachers free to explain each section of the graph as they prefer (i.e. some teachers prefer to include the term ‘voltage-gated’ ion channels, some don’t).
