Lessons are designed for the new AQA course covering specification points: 4.5.3.1, 4.5.3.2, 4.5.3.4, 4.5.3.5, 4.5.3.6, 4.5.3.7, 4.5.4.1 and 4.5.4.2
These lessons can be adapted to be used with other exam boards as all new science specifications now cover the same content.
Designed for the new specification AQA GCSE course but can be modified for other exam boards.
22 slides covering Microscopy:
By the end of the powerpoint students would have covered (includes a required practical):
Students should be able to:
understand how microscopy techniques have developed over time
explain how electron microscopy has increased understanding of sub-cellular structures.
Limited to the differences in magnification and resolution.
An electron microscope has much higher magnification and resolving power than a light microscope. This means that it can be used to study cells in much finer detail. This has enabled biologists to see and understand many more sub-cellular structures.
Students should be able to carry out calculations involving magnification, real size and image size using the formula:
magnification = size of image
size of real object
Students should be able to express answers in standard form if appropriate.
Required practical activity 1: use a light microscope to observe, draw and label a selection of plant and animal cells. A magnification scale must be included.
A simple sheet for students to tick off as students complete their required practical’s. Goes into the front of their practical books.

use percentages
calculate percentage gain and loss of mass of plant tissue.
Required practical activity 3: investigate the effect of a range of concentrations of salt or sugar solutions on the mass of plant tissue.
Designed for the new specification IGCSE edexcel course but can be used for other examination boards.
Covers:
(b) Variety of living organisms
1.2 describe the common features shown by eukaryotic organisms: plants, animals, fungi and protoctists
1.3 describe the common features shown by prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria
1.4 understand the term pathogen and know that pathogens may include fungi, bacteria, protoctists or viruses
