Now UPDATED with clearer fonts. Download includes a coloured version & a black and white version. Revision checklist for AQA A-level Biology. Designed for use with the following revision method: Step 1: make revision resources** for a topic e.g. flashcards, mindmaps. Step 2: use these revision resources to actively revise the topic. Step 3: complete topic-specific exam questions. Step 4: mark questions and annotate revision notes with any missed information. Step 5: repeat until you are achieving a mark that is comparable to your desired final grade. Step 6: move onto the next topic! ** If you don’t have time to make your own revision resources, flashcards & revision questions & answers are available to purchase in my Tes shop! The flashcards and revision questions & answers contain very similar information, so there is no need to use both - pick whichever format you prefer.

Over 360 revision questions covering the Paper 1 Topics for AQA Triple and Combined Sciences. Also includes versions with blank answer spaces. Concise Includes diagrams Mapped to the specification Model answers based on extensive past paper analysis Clear question & answer format to encourage active learning Includes 6-mark exam-style required practical method questions, where relevant Columns to mark each individual question as red, amber or green based on current understanding. Triple only / higher tier only content is NOT on a grey background to distinguish it, all questions and answers are on a white background to allow students to highlight/add colour should they wish. Designed to promote spaced repetition of topics throughout the GCSE teaching. Rather than revision notes, which encourage passive learning (because most students just read through them or copy them out), these questions and answers are designed to encourage active learning. Triple and Higher Tier only content is marked, so these questions are suitable for all candidates. Topics included in download: Atomic structure and the periodic table Bonding, structure and the properties of matter Quantitative chemistry (with worked examples) Chemical changes Energy changes Please note that I can accept no responsibility for your final exam grade should you choose to use these revision resources. These resources are intended to help students actively revise, but students should be aware that a high proportion of the marks in your exams are AO2 and AO3 marks and students should therefore use a variety of resources and techniques in preparation for all of the question styles that will be encountered in the exam. Whilst these resources have been written with past mark schemes in mind, there is no guarantee that future mark schemes will be the same. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this resource, but I am only human, so if you spot an error, please email teachsecondaryscience@gmail.com and the resource will be updated ASAP.

Tests students on their ability to construct ray diagrams to show the position of the image formed when the object is: 2f from a convex lens 2f from a convex lens <2f from a convex lens less than a focal length from a convex lens How to construct a ray diagram for a concave lens. Also, completing ray diagrams to show how the paths of rays change as they pass through a concave / convex lens. Students must also describe each image formed (real/virtual; upright/inverted; enlarged/diminished/same size) and give an example of where this type of lens is used. Download includes full answersheet with completed ray diagrams. If you find this resource helpful, I would really appreciate a review. Thank you!

Condensed revision notes for Section 1 Biological Molecules of the AQA A-level Biology specification. Blurting is one of the best revison techniques for A-level Biology. Students should write down everything they can remember about a particular topic on a scrap piece of paper. Then use their notes to fill in any missed points. However, blurting is only going to be effective if students are using notes with the correct content & key terms to check the information that they’ve written down from memory. I designed these sheets for my own students to use. They divide the specification into A4 page topics, each of which is the right length to be covered in one ‘blurting’ session. Download includes 9 pages of notes: Monomers & polymers, inorganic ions Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Enzymes Nucleic acids DNA replication ATP Water If you find these notes useful and would like me to upload similar notes for the other AQA topics, please leave a positive review!

This is always a popular lesson with my students. Great as a revison / consolidation task. All relevant to OCR, with the exception of the virus diagram. 14 diagrams for students to label: Biological molecules Bonds Animal cell Plant cell Prokaryotic cell Virus Stages of mitosis Antibody structure Heart Chloroplast Mitochondria Action potential graph Sarcomere Nephron Download includes: PDF with A4 sized diagrams and A4 answers for each diagram (I use this as a presentation) Student answer sheet with 4 diagrams per A4 page (only 2 on the last page). If you don’t have time to dedicate an entire lesson to this task, you could set the A4 sized diagram file as a revision homework task or go through one diagram at random as a lesson starter.

UPDATED with coloured diagrams on answer sheets. Visually appealing worksheets covering the inheritance topic of A-level Biology. Designed with the AQA exam board in mind (incomplete dominance is not relevant to AQA, but has been included to allow teachers of other exam boards to use this resource - codominance and incomplete dominance are not the same thing!). Includes 7 worksheets covering: Multiple alleles Codominant alleles Incomplete dominance Dihybrid crosses Sex linkage Autosomal linkage Dominant and recessive epistasis Due the complexity of this topic, I find these worksheets are useful to introduce each type of inheritance, before moving onto exam-style questions. Also useful as a revision / homework exercise. All worksheets are black and white to allow students to add colour to the diagrams, a process which is thought to aid the formation of visual memories.

Self-assessment maths and statistics skills booklet aimed at helping those students who do not do A-level Maths/Chemistry/Physics and lack confidence with the maths requirement. Full mark scheme included (full solutions, not just the final answer). Contains 63 marks worth of questions involving: percentage change graph drawing dilution calculations ratios uncertainties logarithms bacterial division calculations standard form magnification rate of reaction unit conversions significant figures chi-squared Student’s t-test Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient Index of diversity Whilst AQA don’t have to be able to perform statistical calculations in the exam, it’s sometimes helpful to have practiced doing so as it aids their understanding of how the outcomes of statistical tests are interpreted. Most questions are therefore relevant for all exam boards with the exception of the index of diversity question, which uses the AQA/Edexcel equation as opposed to the slightly different equation used for OCR.
