A series of questions which focus on topics covered in the scientific article to use with question 7 Thursday 13th June 2019 Answer sheet included Range of topics to include:peptides and protein structure; protein synthesis; neurone and synapse function; cell membrane structure; enzymes; evolution; blood vessels; immune system; blood clotting plus possible core practical questions. I have included a copy of the article as last year many people had difficulty locating it. It won´t print when open in Google - try another browswer. 19 pages of questions - perfect for revision lessons or homework.

A revision aid designed to support both higher and weaker students. Students have to read their textbook/notes to complete a grid of questions in specification order.Students can complete the grid to highlight areas they need to cover in more detail. Particularly supports ‘hands-on’ learners who need to write information down to absorb it Excellent as a homework task or directed study session Requires minimal preparation and interaction from the teacher - great for cover lessons! Teacher answer sheet provided

Check students learning with a series of focused questions on cells, reproduction and development. The main focus areas being cell structure; mitosis; meiosis; cell cycle; epigenetics and variation . 12 pages of questions with teacher answers. Students can self assess their work - a great starting point for revision before tackling exam questions. Questions vary in difficulty, supporting weaker students too.

This series of 3 lessons covers: the terms magnification and resolution the differences between light and electron microscopes the importance of staining in microscopy; a series of practicals with instructions how to make plan drawings of specimens how to use a graticule. I have included different tasks, some individual and some group work. I have encouraged my students to study independently rather than give all of the information. There are also a series of exam questions to test understanding. These lessons provide support towards the core practical

A series of questions with the answers and a vocabulary sheet to support students prepare for the question 7 in Unit 5. The questions cover a series of topics to include blood; the heart and cardiac cycle; the nervous system; muscles and joints; vaccinations; pathogens; protein synthesis; CHD plus more. I have downloaded and included the Edexcel article as my students had difficulty obtaining it.

A series of revision mats to compliment the IGCSE edexcel syllabus. Each revision mat consists of examination style questions to challenge knowledge and understanding. For best results, I photocopy onto A3 paper. Can be used to complete a topic or revision for test/exams.

This PPT links to the Edexcel A2 course - describe how drugs can be produced using genetically modified organisms. It also links to risks and benefits associated with the use of genetically modified organisms. The PPT is a complete lesson with short tasks which generate discussions regarding this ethical issue. I have included the uses of the enzymes they need to know. There are A level past paper questions to test knowledge plus a fun quick quiz at end of PPT.

A PPT introducing statistical tests to include: T test, Chi squared, Mann-Whitney and Spearman Rank Correlation.

A revision session designed to recall information on biological molecules - Water, Carbohydrates and Triglycerides

Specification link: 1.5 know how triglycerides are synthesised and describe the difference between saturated and unsaturated lipids A complete lesson promoting independent learning. I have provided 2 videos that students watch and extract relevant information to complete a worksheet. I suggest it is printed on A3 paper. Teacher - student discussion over main points ensures an understanding of the topic. A quiz of exam questions with a time limit.

Specification link: 1.2 (b) relate the structures of polysaccharides to their role in providing and storing energy A lesson designed to promote independent learning. There is a video students use the video to extract information about amylose and amylopectin and the difference in structure. Students find out independently how each molecule can be broken down to release energy. Exam circus of questions to work through with a partner. Check points provided after each task to ensure learning/correct information collected.

Specification link: 1.2 (a) know the differences between monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides including glycogen and starch In this lesson, students will learn the structures of common monosaccharides and how they combine in a condensation reaction to form disaccharides. Polysacchrides are mentioned briefly but they are studied in more detail next lesson (spec link 1.2 b) There are opportunities for independent learning as students determine the structure of monosaccharides and practice drawing the reaction between common monosaccharides labelling the bond and type of reaction. I have included an exam question for practice.

A PPT complete lesson which focuses on specification link: 1.1 understand the importance of water as a solvent in transport, including its dipole nature The power point includes independent learning activities where students must find what a dipole molecule is. There is a boardworks slide to explain what a solvent is and students use this to form their notes. Please note, this is an interactive slide and you must have enabled macros on PPT and have update flash for it to work. The terms cohesion and adhesion are introduced. I have included a brief exam question which links directly to the spec link.

A series of questions focused on the scientific article for the IAL Edexcel exam - unit 5. There is a teacher answer sheet included. I have also included a copy of the Scientific Article from Edexcel Unit 5 Exam and definitions for vocabulary. I have focused on the following topics: • The nervous system – structure and function of each neurone • Action potentials and how an impulse is generated • Synapses • Structure and function of areas of the brain • FMRI scans • The eye • Brain injuries • Critical window • Respiration • PCR and Gel electrophoresis • Speciation This resource helps student´s to focus their revision in the appropriate areas and help develop their exam response.

A power point to aid students understand how vaccination results in the manufacture of memory cells which enable future antibody production to the pathogen to occur sooner, faster and in greater quantity. I have used a range of resources throughout the PPT. There are 2 video which can prompt discussion. The first is a starter activity which reflects on the previous lesson, looking at the function of phagocytes and lymphocytes. Students are then introduced to the idea of vaccinations both by discussion and a video. There is a card sort activity to put the process in order and then a graph analysis task.

A whole lesson dedicated to looking at the effect of certain illegal substances and the ethical issues associated with drug taking in sports. I have included a debate where students sort through different opinions on drug taking in sports. This will help them formulate a for and against argument. I have also included information about how peptide and steroid hormones act as transcription factors and can activate protein synthesis. Finally, I have included the edexcel article from 2015 on drugs in sport and students can work through the article and answer the questions for homework.

A power point which introduces the structure and function of the parts of a flower. Students then analyse the differences between the insect and wind pollinated flowers. There is a brief explanation of fertilisation and formation of the pollen tube. Finally looking at asexual and sexual reproduction in plants. The power point contains the whole lesson and it is easy for the teacher to follow the plan of the lesson with tasks for students clearly highlighted and check points to ensure learning. I have used a ppt slide from the author clickbiology as I think it is one of the best slides on flower structure I have seen.

A whole lesson plan allowing students to discover the structure and function of the eye. This lesson is following the double award IGCSE for Edexcel and students need to describe the structure and function of the eye. I have not included information about accommodation. This lesson is a lovely introduction to the eye and includes an eye dissection task plus a 3D image starter activity; exam question and brief investigation into the response to bright light.
