This resource contains a starter activity in which Key Stage Four which explores data analysis and what conclusions can and cannot be drawn from scatter graphs. This can be used to discuss correlation, trends, continuous and discontinuous data, extrapolation and lines of best fit. 

Developed by the Centre for Comparative and Clinical Anatomy, University of Bristol, Lets Dissect is based upon the key points from GCSE specifications of the major exam boards. These interactive resources are a great accompaniment or alternative to dissection and show the major structures of the heart, the kidney...

This tutorial, from Bristol University’s Let’s Dissect, includes a video of a heart dissection with accompanying narration describing the anatomy.

Aimed at primary learners, this resource provides a lesson which looks at the life-cycles of plants and animals looking at several examples including human, frog and poppy. The main stages of development in each of these organisms are highlighted and the length of each...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Recall that organisms are alive during all stages of a life cycle.
• Describe the life cycles of different plants and animals (e.g. a flowering plant, a human and a butterfly)....

This resource provides a range of practical activities, suitable for students across the primary phase. Activities link to work on comparing things that are living, dead and that have never been alive and exploring the life cycles of flowering plants and different animals. They are designed to help children develop...
