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 resource features a multiple-choice pack containing 20 questions.
This pack covers Topic 17 of the IGCSE CIE course, on Inheritance.
These packs can be used in a number of ways:
Use as a homework task for consolidation or assessment of prior knowledge of a topic
Multiple-choice challenge, where students either individually or in teams compete against one another to get the most correct answers (15 minutes is a good time allowance to give)
As an assessment (15-20 minutes)
For revision of a topic before an exam
Answers are provided (can be projected to go through the correct answers and allow pupils to self or peer mark), and also an answer grid for students to complete if you would rather reuse the question papers, rather than the students writing on them.
This is a very useful and comprehensive resource for students studying A level Biology. A great refresher for the teacher too or someone teaching Biology who may not be so confident when it comes to teaching statistics.
The resource is a 22 page booklet which covers all the key aspects of statistics required for Biology at A level.
There are worked examples and questions for the students to work through.
This booklet has been designed to be fully explanatory so that students can work through it independently.
The booklet is fully comprehensive and no other resources are needed; all probability tables are given with the questions.
The key topics covered in the booklet are:
1.) Why use statistics on data
2.) Calculating standard deviation and its meaning
3.) The student t-test
4.) The Spearman rank correlation coefficient
5.) The Chi-squared test
The booklet should take approximately two 1 hour lessons to complete, dependent on how familiar the students are with statistics. Those studying A level Maths and Geography may be more confident working through the calculations and understanding the outcomes.
A separate answer booklet is provided with answers to all questions given.
A worksheet with accompanying answer sheet on the structure and function of synapses.
The sheet also includes an extension activity for students on the affect of drugs on synaptic transmission.
This sheet is also available as part of a bundle along with worksheets on neurones and the eye, link below:

Overview of plant responses and the roles of the 5 main plant hormones. This worksheet comes with 5 information sheets, one for each hormone, that pupils can use to complete the table element of the worksheet.
Plant responses to the environment
Types of plant response (tropisms)
Answer sheets are provided for all three worksheets.

ultrastructure of animal cells
ultrastructure of plant cells
structure and function of the key organelles/cell structures
The worksheets are provided in both an A4 and A3 format.
A pack of four visually engaging worksheets for GCSE Biology students studying the homeostasis topic.
The worksheets encourage independent learning as the pupils can work through them following the clear instructions given.
The worksheets are useful for when learning the topic, for revision and/or assessment of knowledge and understanding of the topic.
The pack covers the following:
1.) Skin structure and its role in temperature regulation
2.) Temperature regulation
3.) Blood sugar control
4.) Summary questions on the homeostasis topic
Answers are included to each worksheet, helpful to the non-specialist teaching Biology.
Buy the mitosis and meiosis activity packs together and get the posters for free.
The two activities on mitosis and mitosis are designed so that students can learn and identify the key stages and describe what happens in each stage for the two types of cell division.
The close activity included helps students to become more familiar with the key words used in the cell division topic.
Both activities can be completed by the students independently as the instructions are given on the sheets.
These activity packs are ideal for both teaching the topic and also as a revision aide for the students.
The posters are great for display around the classroom or to give to pupils for revision.
All sheets are provided in an A3 or A4 format. I would recommend printing the meiosis activity and poster on A3 paper if possible. This keeps all the stages of meiosis on one page, making it easier for students to compare the two different stages of meiosis with one another.
A comprehensive and visually appealing A level worksheet summarising the biochemistry topic of lipids (triglycerides).
It covers:
Structure and properties of glycerol and fatty acids
Formation of triglycerides
Role of lipids in organisms

This package includes:
An ‘exemplar for improvement’, for students to review and evaluate weaknesses and strengths of the drawing
A mark scheme with the key issues with the ‘exemplar for improvement’ drawing listed to develop students understanding of the key criteria required when producing a biological drawing
A model exemplar to show students the drawing with all ammendments made
