A series of 3 lessons which teach students the principles of industrial fermentation. **Lesson 1: Bacteria and yoghurt ** Learning objective: Evaluate the conditions needed for bacteria to thrive and produce insulin / yoghurt. Success criteria: Identify the steps of yogurt production. Describe the role of bacteria in fermentation. Evaluate the use of industrial fermenters. 21 slides. Lesson 2: Yeast and bread Learning objective: Explain why yeast is used in the process of manufacturing bread. Success criteria: Identify the equation for fermentation. Describe how bread is made. Explain why people don’t become drunk from eating bread… 8 slides Lesson 3: practical investigation Learning objective: Analyse how factors affect the growth of yeast and justify your conclusions. Success criteria: I can identify independent and dependent variables. I can describe control variables that will impact the investigation. I can evaluate how temperature affects growth. 23 slides Each activity offered is differentiated and each lesson includes progress checks. Past paper questions are also included to ensure adequate challenge is set to students. Content was made for iGCSE students for edexcel 9-1 combined science.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify independent, dependent and control variables. Describe what makes a good method. Evaluate data from tables.

Suitable for KS3 students (yrs 11-14) By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify what DNA contains. Describe how organisms inherit their traits. Create Punnett squares to show the inheritance of offspring.

A comprehensive powerpoint (178 slides) including all relevant information for students to reach a distinction standard in Pearsons Applied Science Unit 9 C. Sections included: Female reproductive system Oogenesis Male reproductive system Spermatogenesis Menstrual cycle and hormone involvement Fertilization Development of the foetus (chorion and amnion) Contraception Assisted pregnancy Ovulation disorders Sperm disorders Process of mitosis Process of meiosis

Resource was intended for BTEC Applied Science Unit 1 Biology. The resource was designed on google slides and should work fine on powerpoint, it might just need some rearranging. Blank diagrams are included for students to label. Past paper questions are included with the relevant mark scheme answers following. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify the organelles within the ultrastructure of plant and animal cells. Describe the function of these organelles. Compare and contrast both cells.

A collection of revision resources for Pearsons combined science 9-1 edexcel specification: Biology paper 4. Sometimes referred to as Biology paper 2. The resources were originally produced on google slides, therefore, please open them using google slides in order to avoid alignment issues on powerpoint. Included in this collection are: Blank revision posters for the students to fill and consolidate their knowledge. Answer keys for the revision posters OR revision slides to complement the blank revision posters. Topics covered are: Section 6 - Plant Structures & Their Functions Section 7 - Animal Coordination, Control & Homeostasis Section 8 - Exchange & Transport in Animals Section 9 - Ecosystems & Material Cycles The entire resource contains 23 slides.

A comprehensive collection of materials needed to deliver the entire Pearsons Edexcel Combined Science (9-1) curriculum. Following the Activelearn curriculum. The materials include: A fully written scheme of work. Full lessons for each lesson / concept. Revision mind maps for end of units. Some core practical resources are still in the process of being completed (this resource will be updated as soon as these are updated) It does not include due to copyright infringements: The end of unit tests from Activelearn.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify an enzyme-substrate complex. Describe how temperature and pH affect enzyme activity. Explain why enzyme activity changes with pH and temperature.

Lessons created to complement the activate 3 unit of work - Detection in biology. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: State factors that would affect decay. Describe how time of death can be determined. Explain why timing death is not always precise.

All features work when used with google slides. All features should work with PowerPoint, but might need some rearranging. There is a video in this lesson showing students how to brew alcohol at home using yeast, grape juice and sugar - if you are not comfortable showing students this please do not buy this resource. My reasoning for using this was to make the learning more relatable to them as my students don’t have enough cultural capital to grasp the industrial process. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify the equation for fermentation. Describe how bread, beer and wine are made. Explain why people don’t become drunk from eating bread.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: State the limiting factors for photosynthesis. Describe how a limiting factor can affect photosynthesis. Explain why these limiting factors have the effect that they do.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify 2 musculoskeletal disorders. Describe the role of the joint. Explain why decreased collagen content can lead to hypermobility. Explain why rheumatoid arthritis leads to pain in the joints.
