Trying past paper questions throughout the year

  3. Shared Drive on GLOW • Contains large number of resources to support pupils, e.g. • Course powerpoints • Homeworks • Glossaries • Past Paper Questions and marking instructions • Problem solving practice • Revision resources • Links: Nat5 Biology – https://tinyurl.com/ybu66zpb Higher Biology - https://tinyurl.com/y86l4vdg • Pupils should have links and should not need glow password to access

  4. SQA website has a lot of useful information. For example National 5 Biology page: https://www.sqa.org.uk/sqa/47427.html Course specifications – what’s in the course. Past papers + answers

  5. Textbooks • We usually provide pupils with a course textbook/study guide through the library. • Also available are past paper books and web based resources: • National 5 biology online textbook - https://sites.google.com/a/edubuzz.org/nat5biopl/home

  6. Scholar – Higher Only • https://scholar.hw.ac.uk/

  7. Supported Study – last years timetable
