Power point focuses on: Recalling the way in which muscles, tendons, the skeleton and ligaments interact to enable movement. Explain the effects of no exercise and too much exercise on the body. There is an edexcel exam question focusing on the effects of exercise.

A PPT presentation which explains how pharmacogenomics is being developed as a new tool in treating disease. It links directly to A2 Biology Edexcel specification “discuss how the outcomes of the human genome project are being used to develop new drugs and the social, moral and ethical issues this raises”. I have also included scenarios that students can discuss, developing an absolutist and relativist point of view for both.

A PPT which includes all the activities of the lesson. Starter activity - students watch a brief video of sprinting and discuss what type of muscle fibres are likely to be present. The presentation takes them through the process of anaerobic respiration and there are check points along the way which promote discussion and check understanding. Finally, exam questions and mark scheme for self/peer assessment.

A PPT which takes students through the process of Glycolysis, Link reaction and Krebs cycle. There are notes on the PPT that will help students understand each step and they can annotate their diagram. There are exam questions to ensure student understanding. Plus videos from youtube to help explain the process of respiration.

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.

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 lesson which explores the effect of exercise and heart rate on the body. Students learn how to calculate cardiac output. The power point explores the role of the cardiovascular control centre. Students complete a diagram showing how both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems can increase/decrease the heart rate depending on blood pressure, need for oxygen and glucose. There is a little practical activity when students observe the effect of adrenaline on heart rate and how quickly heart rate changes.

A2 Biology - The Nervous System covering the specification points: Know the peripheral nervous system is split into autonomic and somatic nervous systems; Understand why the autonomic system is split into sympathetic and parasympathetic systems; structure of the spinal cord; structure and function of `parts of the brain The power point contains the complete lesson including resources. There are individual and paired tasks for students plus exam questions to test understanding.

A fun revision tool for the end of a lesson. Works best photocopied A3 size. All you need is a dice and counters

A fun tool for revision lessons. All you need is a dice and counters. It works best when photocopied onto A3 paper.

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.

Edexcel IAL specification - students learn how the data for a model is produced and then extrapolated. We then look at factors other than carbon dioxide which can influence the model. Limitations of models are discussed.

2 complete lessons covering the events which lead to the formation of a blood clot and how atherosclerosis occurs. Edexcel IAL spec link - 1.10 and 1.11 There is an excel video included in the ppt. There are many opportunities for assessment in the power points and an exam question for each lesson.

Edexcel specification link 6.5 (i) (ii) Two power point complete lessons focusing on the structure of viruses and bacteria. The second lesson looks at the lytic and lysogenic cycles with a short video clip on retrovirus reproduction - this will be looked at again when we study HIV. The lesson includes an exam question with mark scheme.

2 lessons looking at the causes, symptoms and treatments of 2 deadly diseases. Edexcel Spec link 6.6 There is plenty of opportunity for class discussion and links into history for both diseases. I have included graded tasks in both lessons as my students enjoy working their way up to the higher grades.

This series of lessons covers: The basic principles of cellular respiration The importance of cellular respiration in the production of ATP The site of glycolysis, krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation The main stages of glycolysis, Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Anaerobic respiration Respiratory substrates and respiratory quotient. Each power point is a complete lesson which includes activities and exam style questions to check understanding.

2 lessons focusing on Edexcel specification link 2.7 The first lesson is an introduction to enzymes and naming enzymes The second lesson focuses on how they work and factors which affect the rate of reaction.

A series of lessons that students can complete in class or at home. It is an introduction to the first units studied and builds on previous knowledge learned at GCSE. Lessons include: Describe the structure of the atom and atomic particles Calculate mass number and atomic number Define the term isotope Explain what is relativity and why do we compare to carbon 12 Define relative isotopic mass, relative atomic mass, relative molecular mass and relative formula mass
