Ecology Revision Placemat
An A3 revision mat for the Ecology chapter in AQA GCSE 1-9 Combined Science and Biology. Includes combined Science content only and no separate Biology content.
Includes answer
These slides will help your students approach, examine and explore the new subject of Media Ecology.
The lessons engage A Level learners through diverse activities and cover various ‘ways in’ such as suggested videos, media ecology theories, example case studies and a grade A/A* CIE marked exam essay.

This is a 25-page student booklet for Unit 7 Ecology for the new AQA GCSE 9-1 Biology. It includes notes, activities, exam questions and the associated required practicals. It is great for use alongside teaching or as a revision aid for students.
This is a one-of-a kind 15 page document covering every tense required for the Edexcel IGCSE Biology course. Complete with key definitions, annotated diagrams and packed full of colour these notes are not only assured to boost your marks in your upcoming exams but also give you a better understanding of the subject should you choose to persue it for A-Level or otherwise. Revise these slides and you’ll reap the rewards of your hard work! For an extra information please check out our website, Twitter and Instagram or just contact us. Thanks for your support and good luck with your exams – with our notes we can guarantee you’ll smash it!
Three sheets of straightforward revision questions. Written to provide simple recall test of what students have learned and need to learn (to reassure them as much as anything). Taken pretty much directly from the AQA 9-1 GCSE syllabus. Answer sheets are included. Would work well as a starter, plenary or on a VLE.
Keywords
*Adaptations; Competition; Community; Habitat; Abiotic factors; Biotic factors; Ecosystem; Transects; Quadrats; Cycles;Biodiversity; Maintaining biodiversity; *
Included in the bundle: 26 Biology Revision Question Sheets (AQA 9-1 GCSE Combined Science) £10
Tarsia puzzle on Ecology keywords
great as starter, plenary or revision activity
24 cards per set (with 30 keywords, definitions and structures to match up)
Includes solution and jumbled up student version
Print on A3 for larger triangles.
A series of worksheets designed for a use on/after a sampling fieldtrip. Originally designed for sixth form Biology but several aspects could be used for a GCSE fieldtrip.
Worksheet 1: Ecological concepts- Explains populations, communities, abiotic and biotic factors and asks them to comment on different factors at the sample site.
Worksheet 2: Comparing plant communities in two different areas- Explains how to determine how many quadrats to use, how to randomly place quadrats, how to estimate percentage cover and recording tables for two different sites.
Worksheet 3: Taking a transect- Explains the different types of transect and asks them to comment on a transect they have taken.
Worksheet 4: Data analysis- Includes Simpson's diversity index and the chi-square tests, with worked examples and space to work out their own for each of them.
This lesson includes everything you need to introduce your students to the basic concepts of ecology without any prep on your part. Just print, copy, and teach!
Works great for both both virtual and in person instruction.
This product includes:
Guided notes – both PDF and editable word document
PowerPoint – corresponds with the notes. Most text is editable, images are not.
Worksheets – Two worksheets/activities corresponding to the lesson.
Quiz – Match the term with definition style quiz. Editable version also included.

A bumper collection of twenty resources (worth £40 individually!) including starter activities, guides to experiments, detailed worksheets and independent research tasks on the topic of ecology. All resources are aimed at advanced level study and would best suit biology students, although some resources could well be used by geography or environmental science students.

This booklet covers most of the topic of ecology. It uses a Jurassic Park theme and can be printed off with each child having their own booklet. My class really enjoyed it! Students will be part of a team of scientific researchers who travel to Isla Nublar to dicover how dinosaurs interact with each other and their environment. A list of key words and an end of topic test are included at the end.
This resource was made for the new AQA scheme of work for Triple science biology
Included are 16 lessons with full objectives and spec references (based on 1 hour lessons.) I have changed the order of teaching from the specification to help it flow a little better as well as including recap elements from earlier units.
There is a student booklet included with space for notes, diagrams, exam questions and lined paper in the back for flexibility (64 pages)

Powerpoint for KS3 and KS4 Biology on animals' environmental adaption using imaginary planets. Includes a Star Wars based plenary activity.
Encourages students to develop a theory, then work collaboratively to improve and present it. Students should be encouraged to be critical of the weaknesses in each others ideas.
Sorry for spelling mistakes - will only take you a minute to change them rather than the couple of hours I spent creating the resource. (Amazing how none of my students pointed them out to me and were just engaged and enjoying science for an hour!)
A set of ideas for in-field ecology investigations into biodiversity, abiotic effects, populations distributions etc. The ideas focus on heathlands, but many could be used in different habitats.
