What do teachers say about this resource? (7998, 8047, 8048)
I loved this resource. It's comprehensive and offers a good range of questions. It would be easy to use and quick to mark. Each homework is differentiated in to foundation and higher tiers. I would highly recommend this resource.
I think this resource matches the specification perfectly. I think this resource is brilliant. It has a fantastic range of activities that will challenge students' recall.
This is a well-designed set of resources that test learning and extend concepts with real-life examples.
The key strengths of the resource are the variety of activities – from creating mind maps, codebreaking, designing tweets from scientists, drawing and labelling diagrams, critiquing practical methods, comprehension, maths skills and graph drawing
the foundation worksheets are still quite challenging (unlike some others I have seen which tend to be too easy) and the higher papers will stretch the most able – this makes planning and assessment for teachers easier and also ensures that all students can access one of the two pieces of HW
I liked the range of style of activities as this would help to encourage student interest and completion of homework.
What do teachers say about this resource? (9789, 9790, 9791)
I liked that the sheets were not all info then comprehension Qs. There is a really good mix of activity/ task type – from gap fills, label diagram, drawing, long response Qs, puzzles.
I think this challenges the students as there is a good variety of high level questions. The page set up was very good and looks like it would be easy to photocopy and give as a handout for homeworks. I enjoyed reading this set of worksheets. There are some useful aspirational bits for careers and biology in context tasks - this makes it more of a unique resource and sets it apart from others.
This is a great homework resource for reviewing and extending work covered on lessons. The different versions of the worksheets are well differentiated e.g. easier graphs with a scale, letters for gap fills, more labels on diagrams, etc.
I thought the specification was well represented with all units having activities and questions. All units had equal weighting. This makes it different to some other schemes which concentrate on the trilogy sections more and only put a few questions for the separate content.
I love the idea of having ready-made homework activities and this resource certainly delivers in that the tasks are varied and interesting.
It covers the spec really well - each section is labelled with a learning checklist, similar to a learning objective.
It is very detailed and the author has clearly spent a great deal of time on developing the resource.
Overall I feel that this is an excellent resource. The activities are well planned and engaging for the students to complete. I particularly like how there are exam questions that link to each activity.
The resource was differentiated appropriately, but was subtle. At a glance, all worksheets look the same.
I like the fact the topics link with the specification and can be correlated easily.
Independent learning for students - easy for staff to give to pupils.
I particularly like this resource because it's less work and covers content as well as skills such as graph and reading tables.
Makes life easy.
