This power point contains the key information about the discovery and uses of penicillin, digitalis and aspirin. The worksheets attached can be used alongside the power point and are good for low ability / SEN students.
The power point cards can be printed out and given to more able students to make a sheet about these 3 medicines, or can just be used for revision, starters or plenary activities.
Helpful with the new (as yet still a working progress) New Yr 9 spec for AQA.
Hope you like them and find them useful, if so please leave feedback.

Basic ppts that I used with all abilities to help them comprehend the basics on these 3 physics principles.
Foundation/ SEN groups found them easy to access and it covers the main key points.
This 20 slide ppt covers the GCSE AQA physics syllabus for forces, gravity, Newtons 1st and 2nd laws and terminal velocity.
As you use the ppt you have a number of activities as you go along to help students consolidate learning and aid understanding, such as with the types of calculation they are expected to know.
This power point should be accessible for all levels with the teacher only using the parts appropriate.
Terminal velocity section has a worksheet to help students and is a nice class activity.
Hope you like the ppt, pls leave feedback if you do.
many thanks for looking at my resource.
These 14 work sheets cover the following part of the F215 OCR Biology A2 syllabus.

The sheets cover the following:
Biofermenter structure and uses
Batch and continuous processes
Primary and Secondary metabolites (Insulin and penicillin included)
Typical microorganism growth curve with diagrams and students to fill in phases.
Finishes with enzymes and enzyme immobilisation techniques.
Artificial selection (modern cow and modern wheat)
Cloning in animals and plants (runners, root suckers (elm trees), bulbs, tubers, cuttings, grafting, tissue culture, finishing with reproductive and non-reproductive cloning of animals (nuclear transfer / embryo splitting)
I used this with some struggling students and they loved them. But great for all students for consolidation purposes.
Hope they can help others.
