AQA L3 APPLIED SCIENCE (1775) - Y12 Biology prep learning booklet

A series of tasks that i set the students prior to the lesson so they become familiar with the content we will be covering. This leaves more time to work on exam questions and application of knowledge in the lesson. From experience of teaching the course i know that its mainly the new key words/vocabulary that the students struggle with, so a lot of the tasks involve define a few key words and then a further task. All tasks are 2 sides of A4 (apart from one which is one side), so this can be printed as a booklet. I have added the booklet as a series of word documents which will make it easier for you to edit if you wish.

Topics covered are:
Cell structure: Prokaryotic and eukaryotic organelles
Cell structure: Nucleic acid structure
Cell structure: Magnification
Transport mechanisms: Phospholipid bilayer
The heart: Key structures of the heart
The heart: Myogenic stimulation
The heart: Artificial pacemakers
Homeostasis: Hormones in the body
Homeostasis: Causes, control and treatment of diabetes
Homeostasis: Osmoregulation and the nephron
Homeostasis: Reabsorption of sodium ions and salt in the diet
Breathing/ respiration: Monitoring the respiratory system and BMR
Breathing/ respiration: Stages of respiration
Photosynthesis: Stages of photosynthesis
Photosynthesis: Food chains, GPP and NPP

This covers the Y12 biology content only. This is basically a set of homework tasks to cover the entire year of teaching this part of the course.
