Acceleration and Graphing speed

(1)
Acceleration PPT recaps over the speed and velocity covered in previous lesson. There are worksheets with questions on with varying ability of challenge. Graphing speed introduces the idea of how different graphs can be used to calculate distance, speed and velocity. I have used other people´s resources found online - Matrix car chase and calculation worksheets.

9-1 IGCSE The Nervous System (4 lessons)

(0)
Lesson 1 covers the CNS, receptors and responses. It also introduces neurones and their role. Lesson 2 covers synapses and their structure/role in the nervous system Lesson 3 looks at the 3 types of neurones found in the CNS which will link into reflex arc Lesson 4 looks at the Reflex arc There are activities and assessments in each of the power point. There are also questions to generate a class discussion and check points.

Gene Pool and Genetic Diversity using Hardy-Weinberg equation

(1)
A level lesson focusing on the following objectives: Understand that changes in allele frequency come about as a result of mutation and natural selection Understand how the Hardy-Weinberg equation can be used to see whether a change in allele frequency is occurring in a population over time I have included many tasks which can be performed individually or in pairs. Students have 2 exam style questions to attempt using the Hardy Weinberg equation

(2)
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.

TOPIC 4: PLANT STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION, BIODIVERSITY AND CONSERVATION LEARNING GRID

(0)
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
