Photosynthesis COMPLETE UNIT

Photosynthesis full set of lessons that teach all the content from AQA specification Unit 4 Bioenergetics, 4.4.1 Photosynthesis.

Each lesson should take about 1hour to teach, but you can easily adapt them to your own lesson timings.

1. Photosynthesis & rate of photosynthesis
2. Limiting factors
3. Uses of glucose from photosynthesis
4. Required practical - effect of light intensity on pondweed - skills based lesson
5. Inverse square law (higher tier)

Using a detailed and engaging PowerPoint the students work their way through the content with a range of whole class quizzes, paired and individual activities. The lessons are well structured and include differentiated activities. Worksheets are included for students to complete (all answers are present on the PowerPoint) with a variety of activities such as labelling diagrams and answering exam style questions (plus exam tips from an experienced exam board assessor).

The lessons are designed to be straight forward for the teacher to deliver (whether you are an ECT or non-specialist) and engaging for your students. Learning objectives are used to monitor learning and all questions have detailed answers. Just click through, and the lessons flows through the content.

There are lots of opportunities for your students to develop and practise their understanding and exam skills. There is both scaffolding and challenge so differentiation runs throughout (most of my classes are mixed ability so I am used to have to both nurture and extend at the same time!) .
