Revision sheet for AS biology for the core practicals, including summary of method, expected results and possible evaluation issues.
This is for the old 2008 Edexcel biology A level course but it will still be relevant in part to the new Edexcel Biology A course

A task to get students to re-enact (sort of!) what Dr John Snow did in terms of identifying the causes of an outbreak of cholera in london.
finding the real cause - story of Snow
finding the real cause graph - a gridded version of the map of London where Snow did his work
finding the real cause graph data - points to plot on the graph showing the water pumps and the cases (fictional) of cholera
students then have to assess their graph and decide what it tells them and then what they shoudl do next
These tasks each focus on a different part of the additional science investigation (or the core science data analysis) and can be used as practices to get students used to the format. Each contains a mark scheme and some have parts that can be given as homework to train students in researching for these tasks!
an analogy that I have written to help students to understand the basic process for protein synthesis. Students seem to really like it and understand from the analogy.
A summary sheet for students to help them to revise for the core practicals in the Edexcel B A level biology course. The sheet provides independent, dependent variables (where relevant), controls, equipment list, summary method and key evaluation points for each practical to enable students to review the practicals that they have completed.
The version that I have written for the previous Edexcel biology A level course have been quite successful and popular with students to support revision. The sheet can be teamed with some practice practical questions.
please do leave a review if you purchase as anything to help to improve this resource would be appreciated.
co-ordinates and basic map for students to plot, (in different colours) earthquakes and volcanoes. The aim is for them to see that the majority occur near the edges of the plates.

I have used this sheet only with a practice ISA to help students to learn how to research their topic. It can be edited for whichever hypothesis you want and we got the students to use this in the computer room to research their ISA planning sheet. They then use the full information to write their ISA notes sheet.
This also means that they can keep this sheet for revision to revise from before their tests and to help them to remember what their notes sheet means. For the real thing, they will create their own.
