S2 E7 | How to Teach Required Practicals Without the Stress | A-level Biology

from Miss Estruch Teach & Tell · host Miss Estruch

Teaching the AQA A-level Biology required practicals doesn’t have to be stressful. In this episode, I’ll show you why the apparatus and techniques table in the specification is actually more important than the practicals themselves when it comes to exams—and how you can help your students master it. We’ll also cover how to structure your lessons around the 12 required practicals, from prep to write-up, and I’ll share free resources to make your life easier, including: ✅ Equipment lists ✅ Step-by-step methods ✅ Data collection and presentation tips ✅ Top tips and common mistakes ✅ Risk assessments   Plus, I’ll be filming each required practical with a focus on the top tips and mistakes to look out for—so keep an eye out for those! 🔗 Download the free teacher pack for all required practicals here: https://www.missestruch.co.uk/required-practical-1-free-teacher-guide https://www.missestruch.co.uk/required-practical-2-free-teacher-guide https://www.missestruch.co.uk/required-practical-3-free-teacher-guide https://www.missestruch.co.uk/required-practical-4-free-teacher-guide 📘 Check out my Active Recall Workbook for A-level Biology practical skills: https://www.missestruch.co.uk/offers/7bZVUfuz/checkout If you found this helpful, don’t forget to subscribe and follow for more practical tips to save you time and stress in the classroom.
