AP Biology, 1st year teachers toolkit - the full course + free resources

This is the most comprehensive AP Biology bundle on TPT, all 8 units are covered. Teaching lessons, Review PowerPoints, Study Guides and free assessments, + bonus of 11 labs. With a huge bonus of mostly human biology and anatomy resources.

This is the 1st year teachers toolkit. Designed to help you with planning, designing and delivering quality lessons.

We all know that's only half the job!

So this resource also provides you with review materials, study guides and assessments for every topic. The complete resource for the 1st year teacher.

Just read the reviews and comments from 1st year teachers and how this has helped not only them but most importantly their student's.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Teaching lessons come with teaching PowerPoints which are teaching aids, over 95% include worksheets and practice questions with answer keys for that lesson. We all know the secret to students hitting those 4s and 5s is exam practice, that's exactly what you get, most lessons come with practice questions for your students to complete in the lesson and the answer key makes it easy for you to go over with the students in review in the lesson. Perfect for presenting online, including challenging questioning, with answers provided.

Study guides for you to print off, they range from 2 pages to over 30 depending on the topic, full of concise information presented in an easy to understand manor. They not only give knowledge but also help with the application of knowledge and answer formulation. They really help the students as they present information without overwhelming them. Designed for distance learning.

Review Power Points – these are exactly that, 7 to over 50 slides in length depending on the topic, these allow you to review in a condensed form the topic that you are covering. Fantastic material for sending to pupils for reference and review.

I want your students to succeed, I want you to be a success in your teaching so with this in mind I am giving away with this purchase, end of unit assessments and answer keys.

End of unit assessments and answer keys, use these to regularly test your students. Exam practice, exam practice is what gets those 4s and 5s in the end your students will thank you for it. You also get the answer keys so you can review each test with your class. That is over 40 topics as most have 2 x assessments, I use one for homework and the other as a test in class. Brilliant online resources, issue a selection of questions, then the answer key can be sent or even better, discussed online with your class.

Also free of charge are 11 Labs each with a covering ppt, student booklet for students to read, and fill out during the work, an answer key and student record for you to customise and keep record of your classes progress.

Not only that you also receive a bonus of a huge range of biology resources to help out. These amount to 25 x teaching lessons, 22 study guides, 15 review ppts and 20 end of unit assessments totally free of charge. The majority are on human biology and anatomy for grade 10 - 12.

The preview contains the following, teaching lesson on Cell Recognition, Summation and Synapses assessment, Study guide on Meiosis, review ppt on Movement Across Membranes. I also want you to appreciate the bonus materials so the preview also contains a teaching lesson on Muscle Contraction, Assessment on Lungs, an Osmosis lab, study guide on Gas Exchange and a review ppt on The Mammalian Heart. Download them they are free for you to take away.
