OCR Biology Plant hormones and responses

This is a complete lesson covering sections 5.1.5 b-e of the OCR Biology specification- plant responses. It starts by considering the need for plants to be able to respond to changes in the environment. It then looks at examples of plant hormones. The lesson then moves to seed germination as well as growth and apical dominance. The lesson the looks at lateral shoots and the growth of roots before closing by studying gibberellins. All activities focus on the experimental evidence that has allowed us to work out modes of action.

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 all of the lesson resources are within the PowerPoint rather than as extra sheets.
