Information about this site

 

 

Me:
I am a biology teacher at Harrogate Ladies College in North Yorkshire. I started this page as a collection of useful links for teachers and pupils.

The Pages:

When you see this symbol, it means that the site has been recommended (by me!) as a particularly good one.


Key Stage 2 - This page contains some primary sites, mostly appropriate to years 5 and 6.

Key Stage 3 - This page contains some biology and other science sites for years 7 to 9.

GCSE - Sites for GCSE biology, now rearranged to fit the new AQA specification for Core, Additional and Biology modules.

iGCSE - Have just started teaching this course. For now, many pages link back to the relevant GCSE pages. Will be adding more to this over the next year.

A level pages - For AS and A2 there is the main A level biology page. Ecology, Genetics, Nervous system and Microbes + disease have their own pages. I will be adding new sites relevant to the AQA 2008 specification as I find them.

Teachers - I have indicated whether sites are UK or US based, and whether they contain resources or just links.

Wildlife - I help to run a Wildlife Watch group for 8-11 year olds, and have included in this page sites that they would find interesting.

PSHE - sites relating to PSHE and citizenship - mostly for key stages 2 and 3.

General Science sites - This page includes sites that don't fit in anywhere else, including news, publications and fun.

Puzzles and Activities - Includes some science based and some not, fun activities either online or to print out.

Internet lessons - various internet based lessons including links and worksheets.

Interactive quizzes - these are made using the Hot Potatoes program and I shall be adding to the current ones when I get the chance.

Worksheets - some question sheets / information that I have produced over the last few years of teaching - might be of some use to someone else out there!
