this link takes you straight to the aqa site and the latest updated past papers (and mark schemes). march 2007 now included. why not try a few for your revision. tests next week!

scifly is a unique teaching and assessment resource for schools and individual pupils who are studying the new science gcses offered by aqa and other boards. every biology topic is assessed in detail together with a bank of how science works material. with hundreds of biology questions and detailed answers, scifly is the perfect biology revision tool, whether you’re a pupil revising at home or a biology teacher preparing pupils for their science gcse in school. see the biology department for login details.

try these as part of your revision. just hit the start session button and define the terms.

this link goes straight to the aqa page for science modular tests commencing in 2006. all the answer sheets and mark schemes are available too. can be slow during the day (aqa very busy) but definitely works, just tried it 7pm.

this resource is designed to show real-life applications of science and showcase the variety of scientific careers available within the cosmetic, toiletry and perfumery industry. students often query the application of their learning and this website has been produced to put that learning in context and may prove useful in terms of introducing work-related learning. it is levelled to be accessible to all key stage 4 students and some sections of the resource are also suitable for key stage 3 students. there are also downloadable pdf documents for use in classrooms.

download and test yourself on these questions. as a guide all higher sets should be able to do these without any worry. when you try them, remember that you’ll have to show your working as well as the right answer.
