What do teachers say about this resource? (8093, 8094, 8095, 8096, 8097, 8098)
Easy to read and understand with full instructions for teacher and clear instructions in the pop quiz. It has varied engaging activities. The worked examples are very good with appropriate annotations. The recapping of GCSE, levels of difficulty questions makes it suitable as an activity for all levels.
I liked the application of genetics with real examples. The images are in the background bring the subject to life as well as the three different difficulties levels of questions which allows students to ladder their progress. A good mixture of short answer and long answer questions including the ”suggest” questions which are often the discriminators for higher grade students as well as spot the mistake in a long piece of text makes it appropriate for AQA.
It focuses on skills, particularly the mathematical skills in genetics as well as how to answer questions.
The resources are clear, they both support and challenge the student and they are tailored to the AQA specification. Also the answers are supplied!
I think this resource would be useful to set as homework or consolidation work after teaching. I liked the GCSE recap section - this would be useful at the start of the topic.
