Made this front page for my GCSE student's to read through & stick-in whilst I do the seating plan & admin things. @missgeog92 I blame you for my new font addiction! #CogSciSci #edutwitter #TeamScience

Any AQA A-level Biologists able to help? Is thermoregulation apart of the spec?? Not mentioned in the spec, only 1 out of the 3 textbooks I have have it in but then Exampro has questions on it? HELP! Meant to teach it tomorrow 😔😭@chatbiology

@Miss_Crofts @chatbiology Triple in one session and combined in another

@PetersenMiss @chatbiology What ability students is it aimed at?

Don't forget to tune in for our chat tonight at 8.30 pm Focus is preparing for Friday and Paper 1 Biology

@chatbiology Looking for some insight on A-level specifications, which is better? AQA or OCR? Currently on AQA but the essay is causing problems!

I’m going to collect together the workings for lots of the tricker maths Qs in the Alevel Biology course all on one blog post to keep them organised. I’m also keeping an exercise book on the go this year. Please do contribute to the web page! @chatbiology pedagoggles.wordpress.com/2023/04/26/sho…

I’m looking for ideas for teaching essay writing for A Level Biology (AQA) 💡🧬 @chatbiology Here’s a short 🧵 about what I am currently doing to develop planning skills using @WALKTHRUs_5 to structure the work but I’d love to hear what others are doing!

Does anyone have any interesting examples of the Founder Effect please?

🧬 Alevel Biology Topic 8 - DNA probes to locate genes and personalised medicine 🧬 (Did some Googling - it’s a fluorescent probe used) NHS to use test that prevents babies going deaf bbc.co.uk/news/health-64…

@benburrows @chatbiology Sorry to be cheeky but I would love this too if you don’t mind sharing please?

Our final #chatbiology for the evening

I created a Science retrieval and revision strategies booklet for our Y11 ahead of the impending mocks and GCSEs! Tried to include as many researched based methods as possible (bits pinched from @KateJones_teach @Inner_Drive @ImpactWales ) 🧪🧬🧠📝#revision #retrieval #gcse

@edwards_dr2 Thank you so much! Totally appreciate it 🥰👏

@PetersenMiss AH tropisms and taxes? You are right I haven't got that anywhere as I've never taught it 🤦🏻‍♀️ I may have to make a standalone one - thank you for pointing it out though! I have everything from receptors which is all in the nervous one. Give me a bit of time and I will get it done!

biology-teacher.org is getting close to being the "one stop shop" I hoped it would be for KS4 and 5 AQA bio resources! ☺️ Until I can get round to putting them on the site you can find the markschemes and powerpoints to go with the booklets here: bit.ly/2UF1ne0

@kirstyrow32 Hi Again! Can I just say a huge thank you for sharing these resources, they have been a life saver as a first time a level teacher with no resources at school! This is super cheeky but on your drive it says if a lesson is marked as green but isn’t there to pop you a message

BIOLOGY RESOURCE SHARING I'm a big believer in 'sharing is caring' particularly when it comes to teaching resources and schemes of work. Feel free to share / use these if you want. It's all a work in progress but it may be helpful as a starting point. Links in comments:

@laura_shoe_lady @chatbiology Thank you so much!

@PetersenMiss @chatbiology I’ve just taught it to y12. They need to understand it when they do genetic drift in topic 7 in y13

Can any AQA A-level Biology teachers shed light on whether students need to know genetic bottlenecks & Founder effect please? Can’t see in spec but is in textbooks! @chatbiology

Posted the spreadsheet and a link to the file on my website so you can make a copy. (WIP Hope to finish it tonight) sites.google.com/view/mr-p-the-…

@mrsjmasters Thank you so much 🥰

@PetersenMiss Will find some time later this week and pop everything online

A-level exam preparation sticker charts are up for our three Y13 groups, showing the big picture in terms of preparation activities over the next few months.

This picture is pure vanity, but I'm OK with that. 14 year 7 and year 8 booklets. Explanations, models and thousands of questions. Just over two years of work. All available for free on my blog.
