A Science teacher by trade, I've also been known to be found teaching Maths and PE! However, strange as it may seem, my real love is designing resources that can be used by other teachers to maximise the experience of the students. I am constantly thinking of new ways to engage a student with a topic and try to implement that in the design of the lessons.

It’s fair to say that the plant-based topics are not every students’ favourite, so the lessons in this bundle are full of engaging activities and knowledge checks to maintain motivation whilst ensuring that the A-level details are understood. These 5 lessons cover the plant sections of topics 14 and 15 of the CIE A-level biology specification (for assessment in 2025 - 27) and complement each other by building on knowledge attained in the previous lesson.
This bundle of 3 lessons covers the content of topic 15.2 of the CIE A-level biology specification (for assessment in 2025 - 27). This topic, titled control and coordination in plants, isn’t always a student favourite, so additional time has been put into the design and planning to maintain engagement whilst ensuring that the A-level content is covered in detail. A lot of these biological processes are sequences of events, so step-by-step guides are used to aid retention. Understanding checks are found throughout the lessons, as well as prior knowledge checks which challenge content from earlier plant-based topics such as 14.2 and 7. All answers to these checks are embedded into the PowerPoints to allow the students to assess their progress.
Topic 15.1, control and coordination in mammals, is also available on here, as well as the larger bundle containing all the topic 15 lessons.
