Biology
GCSE Biology explores life from cells to ecosystems. Students study cell biology, organisation, infection and response, bioenergetics, homeostasis, inheritance and ecology, with required practicals. Mapped to AQA, Edexcel and OCR.
- Cell Biology
Cells are the unit of life. This topic covers cell structure, cell division and transport across membranes.
- Organisation
Cells organise into systems. This topic covers tissues, organs, enzymes, and the digestive and circulatory systems.
- Infection and Response
The body defends itself. This topic covers pathogens, the immune system, vaccination and drug development.
- Bioenergetics
Energy flows through living things. This topic covers photosynthesis and aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
- Homeostasis and Response
The body keeps itself balanced. This topic covers the nervous system, hormonal coordination and homeostasis.
- Inheritance, Variation and Evolution
Life changes across generations. This topic covers DNA, genetics, variation, evolution and selective breeding.
- Ecology
Everything is connected. This topic covers ecosystems, biodiversity, the carbon and water cycles, and human impact.
Learning with Biology
Choose an area below to explore its topics and the resources currently available in your view.
- Choose your focus
Start with a topic you are teaching, practising or revisiting. Follow the stage and subject links to change direction.
- Check the resource details
Look at the activity instructions, format and available learning tools. Protected activities check your current account access.
- Use the evidence thoughtfully
A download, submitted attempt and completion are different records. Review the available feedback before choosing what to do next.
A little help getting started
How should I choose a resource?
Use the topic and stage as a starting point, then read the individual resource instructions. Parents and pupils can ask a teacher for help choosing work that fits their current learning.
Why might a resource be unavailable?
The listings follow current resource visibility and account settings. Some activities require sign-in, a membership or another permission. Browse another topic or return to the learning library to explore.
What do the learning records tell me?
The tools and trackers depend on the resource. Opening a document is separate from submitting practice or recording completion, and none alone establishes mastery.
