Food Tests - Carbohydrates and Lipids (AQA GCSE Biology)

This lessons focus is the food tests of carbohydrates and lipids and how to apply them in a practical setting for AQA GCSE Biology.

These lessons are all visual lessons which support all learners to access the curriculum, pushing students as well as scaffolding where appropriate.

The lesson follows AQA GCSE Biology specification (B1 - Organisation) with GCSE Exam questions as assessment for learning throughout, as well as a number of other fun and engaging activities to support learner agency and exam paper accessibility.

The lesson includes a dual-coded integrated instruction method worksheet to support student agency in the laboratory. Practical inquiry must first undergo risk assessments in your department and be performed only with trained professionals, I accept no responsibility for what is done following the download of this resource - this resource is an example only and teacher’s must ensure their own safety measures are followed. I take no responsibility for practical elements of this lesson – teachers must complete their own risk assessments and are entirely responsible for the safety of students.

These lessons are an effective and balanced mixture of teacher-led explanation, student AFL, student exam questions and pair discussions.
