This power point can be used for either a High ability Triple Biology group or a struggling AS Biology group.
Includes a ppt and a work sheet where the students fill in the gaps from their knowledge. Very good as a plenary, home work or just for revision purposes. Will stretch Triple students and help struggling AS students.
It involves gaseous exchange in organisms. The following are covered: diffusion, adaptations for efficient exchange, unicellular, multicellular, plants, insects, fish, human lungs, counter current effect in fish, alveoli in humans and xerophytes.
Excellent to show as a class presentation for students to make notes from, includes many diagrams and easy to understand format.
These 3 ppts covering atomic structure, alkali metals, end and exothermic reactions, which can be used with a good KS3 class or with a GCSE Chemistry BTEC/ SEN or Foundation chemistry group.
PPT 1 covers atomic structure, atoms, neutrons, protons, electrons, atomic number, periodic table, and isotopes. There are tasks for students as you go through the ppt.
PPT2 covers Group 1 - alkali metals. It covers the group features, and how they react with water, etc There are tasks for the students as you go through the ppt, or you can print the slides to use in class.
PPT3 covers exothermic and endothermic reactions. - covers the main key points, a practical for the students to attempt, work sheets to help them draw conclusions from the practical, activation energy and catalysts.
These ppts are designed for KS3 students who have never seen these key ideas before or for lower ability GCSE / BTEC / SEN students who need bold key points and easy to follow instructions and plenaries.
