Topic questions include: Coordination of the nervous system Control of breathing and heart rate Protein synthesis and transcription factors Protein Transport Immune Response Ion Transport The questions help support revision of many topics found thoughout the A level course.

A level Biology topic focusing on gene technology. This unit includes: the principles of genetic technology the tools and techniques available to the genetic engineer explaining the use of microarrays outline the use of bioinformatics in sequencing genomes describe examples of the uses of genetic technology in medicine and agriculture Pros and Cons of GMO In this unit includes powerpoint lessons, worksheets, videos and discussion/debate tasks. The unit contains 4 lessons but this can be increased if you would like more time on a particular aspect e.g. debate.

A series of lessons which support the Pearson textbook for the international AS level (edexcel). These resources are also useful for online lessons to aid student’s understanding at home. Covered in these lessons: The need for a circulatory system The importance of surface area to volume ratio The advantage of a double circulatory system The structure and function of blood The role of platelets in blood clotting The role of haemoglobin in transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide The structure of the heart and the cardiac cycle Atherosclerosis I have included different activities, some individual and some which could be within a group or with a partner. Plus exam questions and tasks to check understanding.

A 14 Page booklet including potential questions and answers for the Scientific Article for question 8 for Biology International Advanced Level WBI15/01 ,June 7th 2024. I have also included retrieval practice activities to help students prepare their revision of topics. Activities include keywords, cloze activities and a list of topics students should know in depth. Exam questions have a markscheme that can be shared with students. This document makes an excellent revision tool for students.

A series of lessons which focus on homeostasis and muscles. Students will study the structure of skeletal muscle Fast and slow twitch muscle fibres The sliding filament theory The role of actin, myosin and ATP The myogenic nature of the heart ECGs Homeostasis and negative feedback Control of heart and breathing rate

A series of complete lessons covering the syllabus content for the IAL Biology topic 8B. This includes the structure and function of the mammalian nervous system. The structure of the spinal cord and brain. The peripheral nervous system How we investigate the structure and functions of the brain The effect of drugs on synapses Chemical control in plants Phytochrome and seed germination/flowering I have tried to include various methods for both independent and group learning. There are also short assessment questions to check understanding.

Photosynthesis Topic with complete PowerPoint lessons and worksheets including lab activities. Each lesson involves a range of activities to promote interest and learning of the material. The content covers the following points: The word equation and the balanced chemical symbol equation for photosynthesis Understand how varying carbon dioxide concentration, light intensity and temperature affect the rate of photosynthesis Describe the structure of the leaf and explain how it is adapted for photosynthesis Understand that plants require mineral ions for growth, and that magnesium ions are needed for chlorophyll and nitrate ions are needed for amino acids Practical: investigate photosynthesis, showing the evolution of oxygen from a water plant, the production of starch and the requirements of light, carbon dioxide and chlorophyll

A revision plan for students studying the Edexcel Biology Unit 4 module. The timetable can be edited to change the dates. Currently it is for the upcoming January 2023 exams. The timetable covers 9 weeks of intensive revision. Included in the pack is a detailed day to day revision plan to guide students through their revision. Also included are exam questions (with mark scheme) per topic area and worksheets. This has been a great resource for weaker students to help plan their revision and ensure they cover the content.

Focused questions for the article in June 2023 (unit 5). There are over 7 pages of questions which includes a mark scheme. Topic questions include: Bacterial growth Coordination of the nervous system Control of heart rate Protein synthesis and transport Transciption factors Immune Response Inflammation Brain function and scans Epigenetic Factors Microarray, PCR and Gel electrophoresis The questions help support revision of many topics found throughout the A level course.

IAL Edexcel Topic 8A Included in this chapter: The structure and function of the mammalian nervous system Nervous transmission Resting and action potential Myelinated neurones and saltatory conduction Synapses Effects of drugs on synapse The detection of light Habituation Included in this selection of powerpoints are videos, exam questions plus tasks throughout the lesson to generate discussion and independent learning.

A complete topic including 8 full lesson powerpoints and 7 worksheets. Each lesson includes bell ringer activities (starter activities) and plenary activities plus lots of retrieval practice. Each lesson takes approximately 50 - 60 minutes. The PowerPoint can be modified to suit your lesson. There is also a recommend practical activity that involves an eye dissection (worksheet included). There are also many exam-style questions to ensure students understand the material. I have included a range of different resources and tasks including pair and individual work. Students should be able to complete the following after the lessons: Describe the geotropic and phototropic responses of roots and stems and understand the role of auxin in the phototropic response of stems. State that the central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord andis linked to sense organs by nerves. Understand that stimulation of receptors in the sense organs sends electrical impulses along nerves into and out of the central nervous system, resulting in rapid responses Understand the role of neurotransmitters at synapses Understand the role of neurotransmitters at synapses Describe the structure and functioning of a simple reflex arc illustrated by the withdrawal of a finger from a hot object Describe the structure and function of the eye as a receptor Understand the function of the eye in focusing on near and distant objects, and in responding to changes in light intensity Describe the role of the skin in temperature regulation, with reference to sweating, vasoconstriction and vasodilation

8 lessons with powerpoints and worksheets covering the topic Gas Exchange in both plants and humans. This covers: The breathing system of humans including diagrams of the system to label Gas exchange and the alveolus. Students discover how alveoli are adapted to gas echange. Ventilation Core practical - breathing rate and exercise Smoking and how the lungs are damaged Gas exchange in the leaf Gas exchange mission - students are given access to the powerpoint to complete a spy mission linked to gas exchange (optional lesson) Core practical - investigating the effect of light on photosynthesis/respiration Each lesson contains a series of tasks to aid students learning including videos, discussion, labelling diagrams and exam questions.

A series of questions which focus on topics covered in the scientific article to use with question 7 Thursday 13th June 2019 Answer sheet included Range of topics to include:peptides and protein structure; protein synthesis; neurone and synapse function; cell membrane structure; enzymes; evolution; blood vessels; immune system; blood clotting plus possible core practical questions. I have included a copy of the article as last year many people had difficulty locating it. It won´t print when open in Google - try another browswer. 19 pages of questions - perfect for revision lessons or homework.
