This resource covers the OCR syllabus on PLant transport- Translocation. Firstly it defines what translocation is and then further explains the key terms of source and sink regarding the translocation of sugars. The booklet then further explains the key cells the make up the Phloem tissue, their components and functions. It then goes on to explain the content of the sieve tubes and the reason why Sucrose is transported not glucose. The resource then explains how translocation occurs using the mass flow hypothesis. It shows the key mechanism how Sucrose is loaded into the phloem using a co-transporter. The booklet then shows with clearly labelled diagrams how sucrose is moved along the phloem. The finishing page focuses on the difficult 2021 Translocation question on how glucose produced in photosynthesis is translocated to parts of the plant where glucose is metabolised and stored.

The booklet covers the difficult concept of how haemoglobin transports oxygen around the body and how the haemoglobin undergoes configurational change so that it bonds oxygen more easily after the first oxygen has joined. The booklet then introduces Oxygen dissociation curves why they are sigmoid shape and how they are made including what the partial pressures means in terms of tissues in the body. There are various amount of tasks in the booklet students are challenged to make a dissociation curve with some data and need to answer some key questions on what is happening at different parts of the graph in relation to partial pressure and haemoglobin shape. The booklet then compares haemoglobin with both myglobin the oxygen storage molecule found in muscles and foetal haemoglobin. Both have questions on what these molecules do and where they are situated on the oxygen dissociation curve graph in relation to adult haemoglobin. The booklet then introduces carbon dioxide transport in great detail and the three main methods it is transported in the blood. The booklet then finishes on the Bohr effect and how carbon dioxide affects the oxygen dissociation curve and what happens when different carbon dioxide concentrations affect haemogobin loading and unloading.

This worksheet goes into and covers Diabetes Mellitus and its treatment First of all explaining the cause and reasons for the disease secondly explaining Type 1 Diabetes the cause, effects, symptoms and treatment. Then lastly explaining Type 2 Diabetes cause, effects, symptoms and treatment. Including risk factors

This Booklet on Smoking and Vaping teaches clearly the diseases linked and the effects they cause. It goes into great detail starting with the Substances that are found in Cigarettes including Tar, Carbon monoxide and Nicotine. The booklet then explain the effects of Tar on the gaseous exchange system. Diseases that are explained in great detail are : Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease Chronic Bronchitis Emphysema Lung cancer Each disease is explained how Tar and smoking is the cause then further explaining Consequences, Symptoms and treatment. The Booklet then explains the effect of Nicotine and Carbon monoxide passing into the blood and causing changes in circulation. leading to Cardiovascular Disease. The three most significant Cardiovascular diseases are the explained Atherosclerosis Coronary heart disease Stroke The booklet then explains how Cardiovascular disease can be prevented the risk factors associated with it. The last section educates on the new trend of vaporised Nicotine . Users inhale vapor through the mouth from a usually battery-operated electronic device (such as an electronic cigarette). This section explains all of the substances found in vapes and their effects on the body.

This Resource will last for a 1 hour lesson and pupils will need to fill in the Booklet. The Booklet covers the key principles of Homeostasis and Communication that are learned at GCSE and it build on them to stretch and challenge pupils

The resource is for pupils undertaking GCSE Science/ Biology and the topic of Monoclonal Antibodies how they are made and their uses. It consists of a starter and main activity that is called 7 monkeys ( This is a teaching and learning activity that really helps pupils remember a hard and difficult topic of Biology) Pupils will be given paper and the teacher will talk them through the process of making monoclonal Antibodies. This will be learned through pupils making their own diagrams and drawings to the sequence Two previous pupils drawing are attached to help for SEN pupils
