Case Study template sheets for students to fill in with information from 24.6-24.9 on the OCR A Level Biology- on the reverse of each sheet is a series of exam style questions (most of which were taken from the student book due to lack of past paper questions).
I have attached the word version as well as the PDF for easy editing.
Revision lesson for the 8A topic in the new Exploring Science scheme of work looking at food and nutrition.
Designed to be carried out as a carousel of activities with students moving between each of them throughout the lesson. The activities include:
Pictionary using keywords
Matching pairs game matching the nutrient groups to their roles in the body
Interpreting a food diary and analyzing to see if it is a balanced diet
Digestive system question and answer triangle game
Resources needed can be found as hidden slides within the PowerPoint ready to be printed

A collection of 3 lessons looking at the Science of Superheroes and students designing their own superhero. Used with year 7 students, but could be used for the rest of KS3 and higher up KS2. All worksheets are included within the PowerPoint (as hidden slides, that just need printing off).
Lesson 1:
Starter-listing superheroes and thinking how we can group/classify them.
Activity- look at origins of powers, types of powers and features to think about in designing a costune. Introduce task of designing a superhero, start some rough planning work.
Plenary- thinking how magnetic powers might be useful in day to day life.
Lesson 2:
Starter- true or false activity about real life 'superpowers'.
Activity- designing superhero, thinking about powers and origin of powers.
Plenary- what does groot need to grow/survive.
Lesson 3:
Starter- peer assess each other work around the classroom using post it notes, then making some improvements.
Activity- A story/cartoon strip about an accident in the lab where their superhero is first on the scene.
Plenary- answer the questions before magneto pulls the objects to him (questions could be changed to cover topics done recently).
