OCR Biology Nervous conduction

This is a complete lesson covering sections 5.1.2 c of the OCR Biology specification- nervous conduction by action potential. It goes through how the resting potential is maintained as well as the changes that occur during an action potential. It then goes on to cover how action potentials are propagated along the membrane as well as a reminder about saltatory conductions via nodes of Ranvier. The lesson closes by discussing action potentials as an all or nothing response and how the body interprets different size of stimuli.

The lesson includes a starter, full notes, various student led activities and a differentiated summary at the end

All answers are included

I actively try to reduce photocopying, so all of the lesson resources are within the PowerPoint rather than as extra sheets
