Competition in plants lesson created in accordance to the NEW AQA Specification (9-1). Designed for a higher ability class, although content can be adjusted to suit any ability. Includes powerpoint timers, slide animations, embedded video’s and mini review. NB: If you are unable to play embedded videos please view slide notes for link.
AQA spec link: 4.7.1.1
Relevant chapter: B15 Adaptations, interdependence and competitions. AQA Biology combined edition textbook-Page 214-215
Students are required to know the following;
Plants in a community or habitat often compete with each other for light and space, and for water and mineral ions from the soil.
Animals often compete with each other for food, mates and territory. Within a community each species depends on other species for food, shelter, pollination, seed dispersal etc. If one species is removed it can affect the whole community. This is called interdependence. A stable community is one where all the species and environmental factors are in balance so that population sizes remain fairly constant.
Students should be able to extract and interpret information from charts, graphs, and tables relating to the interaction of organisms within a community.
Investigate the effect of a range of concentrations of salt or sugar solutions on the mass of plant tissue. NB: RP 2 for combined science
AQA spec link: 4.1.3.2
Relevant chapter: B1 Cells and organisation. AQA Biology third edition textbook-Page 16-17
In doing this practical students should cover these parts of the apparatus and techniques requirements.
Biology AT 1 - use appropriate apparatus to record mass and time.
Biology AT 3 - use appropriate apparatus and techniques to observe and measure the process of osmosis.
Biology AT 5 - measure the rate of osmosis by water uptake.

AQA spec link: 4.6.3.6
Relevant chapter: B14 Genetics and evolution. AQA combined trilogy edition textbook-Page 194-195
Students are required to know the following;
Extinctions occur when there are no remaining individuals of a species
still alive.
Students should be able to describe factors which may contribute to the
extinction of a species.

Cell division in sexual reproduction, otherwise known as meiosis lesson created in accordance to the NEW AQA Specification (9-1). Designed for a trilogy class, although content can be adjusted to suit any ability. Includes: slide animations, embedded timers, practice questions with answers on slides, quiz and 6 mark past paper question with ms. *Knowledge of the stages of meiosis is not required.*
AQA spec link: 6.1.1
Relevant chapter: B13 Genetics and reproduction. AQA Biology third edition textbook-Page 198-199.
Specification requires students to know the following; 6.1.2
Students should be able to explain how meiosis halves the number of chromosomes in gametes and fertilisation restores the full number of chromosomes.
Cells in reproductive organs divide by meiosis to form gametes.
When a cell divides to form gametes:
• copies of the genetic information are made
• the cell divides twice to form four gametes, each with a single set of chromosomes
• all gametes are genetically different from each other.
Gametes join at fertilisation to restore the normal number of chromosomes. The new cell divides by mitosis. The number of cells increases. As the embryo develops cells differentiate.
I have designed a set of past paper questions for the plant hormones and responses topic, total marks /21. A marking grid has also been included.
Contains a range of short and longer answer questions also requires students to interpret diagrams. This is a great piece of homework or mini class test, that can allow you to determine whether your students have understood the topic. I’ve attached the mark scheme separately as it’s a great self/peer-assessed activity (reduce the marking load).

Animal and plant cells lesson created in accordance to the NEW AQA Specification (9-1). Designed for a higher ability class, although content can be adjusted to suit any ability. Includes: slide animations, embedded videos and practice questions with answers on slides.
AQA spec link: 1.1.2
Relevant chapter: B1 Cell structure and transport. AQA Biology third edition textbook-Page 6-7
Specification requires students to know the following;
Students should be able to explain how the main sub-cellular structures, including the nucleus, cell membranes, mitochondria, chloroplasts in plant cells and plasmids in bacterial cells are related to their functions. Most animal cells have the following parts: • a nucleus • cytoplasm • a cell membrane • mitochondria • ribosomes. In addition to the parts found in animal cells, plant cells often have: • chloroplasts • a permanent vacuole filled with cell sap. Plant and algal cells also have a cell wall made of cellulose, which strengthens the cell.
