What do teachers say about this resource? (8087, 8088, 8089, 8090, 8175)
I would certainly recommend this resource, I am hugely impressed with the content...This resource is clearly and concisely written at a level that is easily accessible for the learner...
The activities are engaging and learner focused so would need no subject specialist knowledge from the teacher... There is a large number of data handling resources which reflects the types of problems often set as exam questions. These types of activity allow a non-subject specialist to cover the theory associated with practical material, without the need to set up a practical, lab-based teaching session. ... ... ...
The lesson plans can be easily followed by members of staff unfamiliar with science... An excellent, high quality resource.
Marking takes place within the lesson making it a useful exercise for the student and reducing workload for the teacher.
I thought tricky topics like Stem cells and evolution were tackled in an interesting manner with thought provoking questions.
It matches specification perfectly
What do teachers say about this resource? (11197, 11207, 11208)
The learning outcomes were clear and had a good range of cognitively challenging statements e.g. from ‘define’ to ‘apply’.
The notes were good for schools which did not have access to texts and for those students who had not/could not make sufficient notes for themselves for whatever reason.
It matches the AQA specification well as it provides the syllabus references for easy matching.
