Lesson: B5.2 – Structure and function of the human nervous system (to be completed over 2 lessons)
Specification points covered =
4.5.2.1 - Structure and function
Required practical 7 - plan and carry out an investigation into the effect of a factor on human reaction time
A fully resourced lesson about the structure and function of the human nervous system
to be used when teaching the new biology specification GCSE of AQA B5 (Paper 2, Topic 1 - Homeostasis and response).
Fully resourced with differentiated tasks and activities shown on power point slides. Any questions/tasks set for students have peer or self-assessment slides available with answers showing
This is a revision power point to be used when revising the content of AQA Biology paper 2 - it covers the key areas of the trilogy/combined course. The activities/questions/information slides covering the areas of paper 2 that tend to be most difficult for students and could be used over a number of revision lessons to prepare your students for their exams.
The power point includes:
An overview of all topics on paper 2 biology
Recap of the required practical activities
Slides to recap the importance of data and how to ensure data is reliable, reproducible and repeatable
Information slides to quickly recap areas of paper 2
Differentiated activities that ask students to apply their knowledge of the different topics. More difficult questions are there to ask students to apply their knowledge to unfamiliar situations. Stretch activities for the more able.
One mark questions to quickly recap topics and establish what topics need to be revisited more thoroughly than others.
The topic areas that are covered on this revision power point are :
The nervous system
Hormones
negative feedback
Menstrual cycle
treating infertility
contraception
meiosis
DNA
Inheritance
Genetic cross
Variation
The human genome project
Classification
