Made using the AQA Trilogy specification. Contains 1 slide of activities to complete for the P4 Atomic structure topic. I give these out at the end of each topic and also before holidays for exam preparation. I have made the boxes equal sizes so that they can be blown up onto A3 card to create revision cards for intervention/ starters/ plenaries Maths skills and RPAs are incorporated More of these on the way for all AQA units, RPAs and maths skills. Feedback welcome

New OCR A level biology course. A power point with 11 -13 lessons depending on pace A separate power point has a hand out that I print as an A4 booklet and give my students to annotate diagrams and complete summary questions as we go.

Primary and secondary response 7. Antibodies 8. Passive and active immunity 9. Antibiotics 10. Transmission between plants and plant defence (could be 2 lessons) 11 Revision

For the new OCR specification 6.1.1 Cellular control lessons Also included is a hand out that I give to students to annotate diagrams and write notes in.

Review of transcription and Transcription factors 3. The Lac operon, introns and exons 4. Review of translation and cAMP 5. Body Plans 6. Apoptosis 7. Recap of mitosis and the cell cycle 8. Revision Questions refer to the Oxford textbook recommended by OCR edited by Anne Fullick some CGP diagrams and pearson Qs used.

These can either be pinned up around the room for students to find the information from or used by individual groups as a starting point for research or modelling specialised cells

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