These are flashcards for GCSE biology. These flashcards are made using the AQA Biology Specification (for triple higher tier science), my notes, revision guides and textbooks. It covers the majority of the content, although some topics are not covered.
Topics NOT covered: 1.1.2) Animal and Plant cells (RP 1) 1.1.5) Microscopy 1.1.6) Culturing Microorganisms (RP 2) 1.2.1) Chromosomes 1.3.1) Diffusion 1.3.2) Osmosis (RP 3)
2.1) Principles of Organisation 2.2.6) The effect of lifestyle on some non-communicable diseases 2.3) Plant tissues, organs and systems
4.1.2) Rate of photosynthesis (RP 6)
Required Practical 7 in 5.2.1
Required Practical 8 in 5.4.1
Required Practical 9 in 7.2.1
Required Practical 10 in 7.2.3
7.3) Biodiversity and the effect of human interaction on ecosystems (except biodiversity, which is covered) 7.4) Trophic levels in an ecosystem 7.5) Food Production
Essentially, the last half of topic 7, required practicals 1 to 3 and 7 to 10 and some of the earlier easier topics do not have flashcards either because I felt like I didn't need them or because I ran out of time (topic 7).
