CB5h lesson from the new Edexcel science GCSE (9-1) looking at antibiotics. The lesson covers what Alexander Fleming discovered, what antibiotics are, how antibiotic resistance builds up, how we look for new drugs and the stages of testing drugs must go.

A series of worksheets designed for a use on/after a sampling fieldtrip. Originally designed for sixth form Biology but several aspects could be used for a GCSE fieldtrip. Worksheet 1: Ecological concepts- Explains populations, communities, abiotic and biotic factors and asks them to comment on different factors at the sample site. Worksheet 2: Comparing plant communities in two different areas- Explains how to determine how many quadrats to use, how to randomly place quadrats, how to estimate percentage cover and recording tables for two different sites. Worksheet 3: Taking a transect- Explains the different types of transect and asks them to comment on a transect they have taken. Worksheet 4: Data analysis- Includes Simpson's diversity index and the chi-square tests, with worked examples and space to work out their own for each of them.
