This power point presentation follows the 9700 AS Biology Syllabus by CIE and the endorsed book by Jones, Fosbery, Taylor and Gregory (5th edition). The slides cover all the theoretical content for transport in plants and I currently use them with my year 12 group.
Slides include:
Brief explanation of transport needs and vascular system in plants.
Plan diagrams practice of leaves, stems and roots and adding labels. (also included in the activities’ power point)
Mechanism for water transport: cohesion-tension and mass flow
Mechanism for assimilates transport: active loading in phloem
Final slides: include 4 past paper multiple choice questions with answers.

Everything you need to deliver 6 Biology practical activities in the lab. Easily adaptable and suitable for Year 7, 8 and 9. Some would also be suitable in GCSE. The slides for each activity include the apparatus needed, method, results and conclusion/evaluation. I have been using these 6 activities in KS3 for several years now and they work very well, they are one hour long approximately. They can also be performed as demonstrations.
Heart and lung dissection
Burning Candles
Measuring cardiac output - this practical does not require a lab and could also be conducted in an online lesson.
Respiration in Yeast
Proper use of the microscope.
Growing bacteria: this is one of my favourites because they enjoy it a lot.
Check the slides’ notes for some extra info.
Coincides with Exploring Science textbook/scheme of work, but can be used alongside any other SOW.
Technician notes and basic risk assessment are included for all practical activities in an excel document.
