This resource was made for the new AQA scheme of work for Triple science biology Included are 16 lessons with full objectives and spec references (based on 1 hour lessons.) I have changed the order of teaching from the specification to help it flow a little better as well as including recap elements from earlier units. There is a student booklet included with space for notes, diagrams, exam questions and lined paper in the back for flexibility (64 pages) Communities Adaptations Organisation of an ecosystem 4-5. RPA 9 Quadrtats and transects How materials are cycled Decomposition 8-9. RPA 10 decay of milk Biodiversity Global warming Maintaining biodiversity Food production Biotechnoogy Summary All other biology lessons available. Please also see revision resources for ALL AQA units if you are interested. Feedback always really appreciated

For the new OCR A level biology specificaiton. I have included the handout I give students for you to adapt if you wish. It is not necessary to do all of the PAGs depending on what you have already done throughout the course. 1a. Natural clones 1b. PAG 4 Stem dissection 2. micropropagation 3. Cauliflower cloning (SAPS) 4.Cloning in animals 5. Biotechnological processes (includes the info cards) 6.Aseptic technique 7. PAG 7.1 – The effect of antibiotics on microbial growth (OCR worksheets) 8.PAG 7.2  Dilution plating to determine microbial density in liquid culture (OCR worksheets) 9. Growth curves 10.immobilised enzymes 11. Industrial uses of immobilised enzymes The PAGS used are available for free on the OCR website or SAPS (link given).

For the new OCR specification 12-14 lessons depending on pace. A tricky unit of work to navigate through - I have chosen to do it in the order below, you may wish to teach in a different order! I have also included the hand out that I print for students to annotate during lessons 1. Development of DNA sequencing - timeline with Ted talks James Watson 1b. ( optional 2 hr documentary BBC horizon The race for the double helix 2. Gel electrophoresis and Sanger method 3. PCR, advantages and applications 4. DNA profiling and its uses including DNA probes 5a. Human Genome Project - comparing the DNA of individuals of the same species and different species link to 4.2.2 5b. Predicting amino acid sequences and epidemiology link to 2.1.3 6. Synthetic biology uses and examples. incl. Tedx ' The dark side of the double helix' 7. Principles of genetic engineering 8. Techniques of Genetic engineering 9. Genetic modification and ethics 10. Gene therapy (somatic and germ line)

For the new OCR A level biology specification Includes the workbook I print for students 1. Biotic and abiotic factors 2. Biomass transfer through ecosystems 3. Nitrogen cycle 4. Carbon cycle 5. Primary succession 6. Recap sampling methods, species evenness and richness and Simpson’s index 7. PAG - Sampling

For the new OCR A level Biology course The power point contains the content for 9 lessons depending on your pace and there is a hand out to go along with it with diagrams to annotate and questions to complete. My teaching order is: 1. Classification 2. Evidence for classification 3. Phylogeny 4. Theory of Evolution 5. Types of variation 6. Spearman’s Rank 6. Standard deviation 7. Adaptations 8. Natural selection 9. Revision using study mind questions - QR codes

For the OCR A level biology specification. I have included the handout (56 pages) I give to students as a printed A4 booklet but you may adapt as you wish, this has lots of summary questions, exam questions and lined paper in the back to allow for flexibility. The lessons are in one power point, divided into sections for each lesson. A lot of consideration has gone into the clear diagrams, animations, linking to other parts of the specification and morph transitions to give a slick presentation. Lessons include: Sensory receptors including the Pacinian corpuscle Types of neurone Generation of the resting potential Generating an action potential Refractory period Synapses Neurotransmitters and drugs Revision - revision grid, glossary and study mind questions sets with QR codes to question papers and mark schemes I hope you find this useful and I really value your feedback - more module 5 available and more on the way

Module 4 Revision grids. 9 x A4 pages in total 4.1.1 x4 4.2.1 x2 4.2.2 x3 Top features include: QR code - takes students to multiple choice quiz from the OCR QR code for useful videos QR code to questions on Seneca maths elements PAG elements checks key terminology *Checks ability to draw key diagrams Links to other parts of the spec where appropriate The activity is designed to check that students have an understanding of the topic and encourages independent working. I advise my students to use notes or a textbook before asking the teacher if they do not know the answer. Each side takes students roughly an hour to complete. I have used as homeworks, support sessions, revision lessons private study tasks and printed on card and cut to use as revision cards All other topics available. Please note, answers not yet available but are in the pipeline!!

Module 6 Biology Revision grids. 18 A4 pages in total, I recommend an hour per page to my students Made based on the specification with revision activities to complete, calculation tasks, PAG tasks, QR codes to Seneca tasks, QR codes for OCR Multiple Choice Questions and QR codes to recommended YouTube clips. 6.1.1 x2 6.1.2 x4 6.1.3 x3 6.2.1 x3 6.3.1 x3 6.3.2 x3 Please note this does not have answers, it is set up as an independent study task.

This resource was made for the AQA scheme of work for Trilogy science biology Included are 10-11 lessons with full objectives and spec references (based on 1 hour lessons.) I have changed the order of teaching from the specification to help it flow a little better as well as including recap elements from earlier units. There is a student booklet included with space for notes, diagrams, exam questions and lined paper in the back for flexibility (44 pages) 1.Communities 2.Adaptations 3.Organisation of an ecosystem 4-5.

Please also see revision resources for ALL AQA units if you are interested that I use for mock and exam preparation. A huge amount of work has gone into these resources and feedback always really appreciated

For the OCR A level biology specification. As part of this topic I also teach the heart rate PAG 11 and use this to teach student’s t-test. I have included the handout I give students for you to adapt if you wish, this has lots of summary questions, exam questions, revision activities and lined paper in the back to allow for flexibility. It is suitable to print as an A4 booklet. Lessons include: The need for communication - recapping relevant parts of the spec 3.1.4, 2.1.6, 3.1.2 Principles of homeostasis Controlling temperature in endotherms Controlling temperature in ectotherms Student’s t-test including past paper questions linked to PAGs 4,8 and 10 and recap of standard deviation. PAG 11 (3 lessons) Investigate the effect of exercise on HR using student’s t-test Revision - podcast revision activity, revision grid sheet and QR code to exam questions I hope you find this useful and I really value your feedback.

Common exam command words in science for 2-6 marks.

Quick facts about the planets.

A factual presentation about cancer. This lesson was actually given to a year 12 BTEC class but would be suitable for KS4
