A flow chart for pupils to use to decide if something is an element (atomic or molecular), compound or mixture.
Useful to generate pupil discussion about what the difference is between elements, compounds and mixtures.
Created for a low-attaining year 7 class but could be used across KS2-3.
This resource is a whole lesson, consisting of a worksheet and accompanying powerpoint presentation. There are 8 tasks designed to help pupils develop their understanding of the anatomy of flowering plants, including labelling diagrams, filling in the blanks, a hands on flower dissection, creative task and plenary questions.
To deliver this lesson you will need to provide flowers such as lillies or daffodils and print the worksheet.
This lesson is designed to follow a lesson on the homeostatic control of blood glucose concentration. The lesson explores type I and type II diabetes for AQA A level biology. Exam Qs are included but one worksheet referenced is on Kerboodle so cannot be shared. The end of the lesson introduces RP11.
Specification points:
The causes of types I and II diabetes and their control by insulin and/or manipulation of the diet.
Students should be able to evaluate the positions of health advisers and the food industry in relation to the increased incidence of type II diabetes.
Required practical 11: Production of a dilution series of a glucose solution and use of colorimetric techniques to produce a calibration curve with which to identify the concentration of glucose in an unknown ‘urine’ sample.
PowerPoint presentation on species, courtship behaviour and classification - used for AQA A Level Biology (2 hour lesson) but could be easily adapted.
Topic 3.4.5
Specification points covered:
Two organisms belong to the same species if they are able to produce
fertile offspring. Courtship behaviour as a necessary precursor to
successful mating. The role of courtship in species recognition.
A phylogenetic classification system attempts to arrange species
into groups based on their evolutionary origins and relationships.
It uses a hierarchy in which smaller groups are placed within larger
groups, with no overlap between groups. Each group is called a
taxon (plural taxa).
One hierarchy comprises the taxa: domain, kingdom, phylum, class,
order, family, genus and species.
Each species is universally identified by a binomial consisting of the
name of its genus and species, eg, Homo sapiens.
