A Science teacher by trade, I've also been known to be found teaching Maths and PE! However, strange as it may seem, my real love is designing resources that can be used by other teachers to maximise the experience of the students. I am constantly thinking of new ways to engage a student with a topic and try to implement that in the design of the lessons.

The fate of lactate (Edexcel A-level Biology)

The fate of lactate (Edexcel A-level Biology)

(1)
This fully-resourced lesson explores what happens to lactate after a period of anaerobic respiration as detailed in point 7.7 of the Pearson Edexcel A-level Biology A (Salters Nuffield) specification. Students will learn how pyruvate is converted to lactate using reduced NAD and that the reoxidation of the coenzyme allows glycolysis to continue. The lesson begins with a focus on the coenzyme, NAD, and students are challenged to recall details of its role in the oxidation of triose phosphate. Students will learn that oxidative phosphorylation in aerobic respiration allows these coenzymes to be reoxidised but that another metabolic pathway has to operate when there is no oxygen. Time is taken to go through the lactate fermentation pathway and students are encouraged to discuss the conversions before applying their knowledge to complete the diagram and passages about the pathway. Students are introduced to the oxygen debt and will learn how the volume consumed after vigorous exercise is used to catabolise lactic acid and to restore the body’s stores to normal levels.

PAPER 1 & 2 REVISION (CIE A-level bio)

(0)
This detailed and engaging lesson will support students with their revision in the build up to their PAPER 1 & 2 mocks or final assessments. The wide range of tasks and activities will challenge students on their knowledge of topics 1 - 11 of the CIE A-level biology specification (for assessment in 2025 - 27), allowing them to identify any areas which require further attention before the examinations. Included in the range of tasks are exam-style questions and understanding checks and all answers are embedded into the PowerPoint. There are quiz rounds to maintain engagement and to encourage healthy competition, as well as guided discussion periods to provide opportunities for students to support each other. The following content is directly covered by this revision lesson: The nature of the genetic code The structure of haemoglobin and collagen Fibrous and globular proteins The roles of the heart valves in the cardiac cycle The changes in the quantity of DNA through the mitotic cell cycle The role of DNA polymerase and DNA ligase in DNA replication The behaviour of chromosomes during prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase The importance of mitosis for living organisms The bonds formed during translation The structure of starch and cellulose The ultrastructure of eukaryotic cells Calculating the size of an object under an optical microscope Using the image = actual x magnification formula The role of APCs and T helper cells in the immune response Pathogens which cause infectious diseases Many of the tasks have been differentiated to maintain challenge whilst providing access to all. This is an extensive lesson with multiple tasks so it is estimated that it will take over 3 hours of teaching time if covered in full, but teachers may choose to use small sections in shorter lessons to focus on a specific topic.

PAPER 2 REVISION (Edexcel A-level bio B)

(0)
This detailed and engaging lesson supports students with their revision in the build up to their PAPER 2 mocks or final assessment. The wide range of tasks and activities will challenge students on their knowledge and understanding of the content of topics 1 - 4 and 8 - 10 of the Edexcel A-level biology B specification, allowing them to identify those areas which require further attention before the examinations. Included in the range of tasks are exam-style questions and understanding checks and all answers are embedded into the PowerPoint. As shown in the cover image, there are several quiz rounds to maintain engagement and to encourage healthy competition, as well as guided discussion periods to provide opportunities for students to support each other. The following content is directly covered by this revision lesson: Directional, disruptive and stabilising selection Saltatory conduction The structure of neurones Depolarisation and the initiation of an action potential Hardy-Weinberg principle The Founder effect and population bottlenecks Genetic terminology Codominance Sex linkage and autosomal linkage Chi squared test Myoglobin vs haemoglobin Succession The sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the ANS The control of heart rate The functions of the different parts of the brain This is an extensive lesson with many tasks so it is estimated that it will take over 3 hours of teaching time if covered in full, but teachers may choose to use sections to focus on a specific topic. If the students find this lesson useful, there is also a PAPER 1 REVISION lesson uploaded which challenges the content of topics 1 - 7.
