OCR Biology endocrine system + adrenal glands

This is a complete lesson covering sections 5.2.4 a and b of the OCR A level Biology specification- the endocrine system. It starts with introducing the endocrine system as well as the various endocrine glands in the human body. It then moves on to discussing hormones including the different types of hormones and their actions. There is then a comparison of hormonal communication and neuronal. The lesson closes by looking at the adrenal gland including its structure and the different role it plays in both the endocrine system as well as the sympathetic nervous system.

The lesson includes a starter, full notes, various student led activities and a differentiated summary at the end.

All answers are included.

I actively try to reduce photocopying, so most of the lesson resources are within the PowerPoint rather than as extra sheets.
