Module 5.2.1: Photosynthesis (OCR A-level Biology A)

This lesson bundle contains 7 fully-resourced lessons which will engage and motivate the students whilst covering the content of module 5.2.1 of the OCR-A-level Biology A specification in the depth of detail required to support them to answer assessment questions on this topic of PHOTOSYNTHESIS confidently. This cellular reaction can be poorly understood by students so intricate planning has gone into the design of the lesson PowerPoints and accompanying resources to ensure that key details are embedded and reinforced throughout and that knowledge acquired in previous lessons is regularly checked.

The following specification points are covered by the lessons in this bundle:

• The structure of the chloroplasts and the two main stages of photosynthesis
• The importance of photosynthetic pigments for photosynthesis
• Using thin-layer chromatography to separate photosynthetic pigments
• The light-dependent stage of photosynthesis
• The fixation of carbon dioxide and the light-independent stage of photosynthesis
• The uses of triose phosphate
• Factors affecting photosynthesis
