Although I'm not sure I'm using it effectively or even if what I'm doing is good practice. 2/2

I currently build up annotated diagrams/drawings under the visualiser to help students visualise processes that they can't see to help support my explanations of biological processes. I might model practical techniques or how to approach answering exam questions 1/2

#chatbiology interested in people's experiences/views of the use of modelling at KS5. How do you use it and do you use it differently than how you would use at KS4

Leaf starch test, diffusion with skittles or agar gels, fermentation in yeast with conical flasks and balloon.

#chatbiology Hi. Second year teaching OCR biology. Any tips for stretching the top end apart from extensive retrieval and exam practice. TIA.

***RELEASE DAY***

I’m excited to say that the trilogy is complete and that β€œThe Science Doctor KS3 Biology Workbook” is now available for purchase.

It’s what I’ve always wanted as a KS3 Science teacher! Core notes, lots of practice and *answers*.

Any advice to support those B/C borderline students at A-level. Have implemented retrieval practice...collecting in scores shows improvement in this area. Also carry out weekly maths/graph/evaluate skills exam practice as this is an area of weakness but still struggling to get them over that line.

Agree. Some can be quite passive whilst others question why they need to do things in a certain way.
