Lab Book -AQA A-Level Required Practicals

Streamline, Standardise and Improve Grades!

Your students will never start a practical write-up from a blank page again.

The AQA A Level Biology Required Practicals Lab Book is a complete, ready-to-use resource that takes your students from bench to exam — covering all 12 required practicals with built-in exam technique practice, competency tracking, and short answer questions written specifically around what AQA actually tests.

Designed by a biology teacher with over 15 years in the classroom, this lab book removes the admin burden from you and gives your students a structured, professional resource they'll use across Year 12 and Year 13.

What's included for students:

• All 12 required practicals listed clearly at the start, alongside the full apparatus and techniques table
• Dedicated write-up space for every practical, structured for clarity and consistency
• Short answer questions for each practical, targeting the specific content that regularly appears in AQA exams
• Unseen exam-style questions for every practical — written from scratch in AQA format, never seen before
• Explanation of all CPAC competencies so students understand exactly what's being assessed

What's included for teachers:

• A competency tracker at the front of the book so progress is visible at a glance
• A sign-off grid for each practical so you can record which competencies are being assessed that session
• A teacher guide explaining how to use the lab book effectively throughout the year
• Full mark scheme and answers for all short answer and exam-style questions

Why schools are choosing this:

Planning, resourcing, and evidencing the required practicals takes up significant time. This lab book standardises the experience across your entire cohort, supports CPAC sign-off, and builds exam technique into the practical programme, rather than treating them as separate jobs.

Whether you have 20 students or 200, one teacher or a whole department, this licence gives everyone access for a full academic year. 

This resource is independently created and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by AQA. It has been written by an experienced AQA Biology teacher with over 15 years in the classroom, former Head of Science, and a 100% pass rate across four AQA monitoring visits for the required practicals.
