Edited resource August 2020. This lesson plan/presentation provides you with a high quality lesson that includes all the necessary activities for the following learning objectives: Explain the principles of magnification and resolution - engaging starter video on the orders of magnitude, where pupils write down as many of the units of measurement as they can - answers provided in the presentation. Pupils then copy and complete a table where they familiarise themselves with units and conversions. Finally there is a magnification worksheet (Magnification sheet.pdf) and answers are provided in the presentation. Describe what cell fractionation is - pupils complete a reading (AQA A level textbook p.59) and summarising task, sharing their summaries with the rest of the class. There are further questions (p.60) however these could be substituted with your own questions if you are using a different textbook and an extension activity. Explain how ultracentrifugation works - pupils are given an information sheet/worksheet (hidden slide - just print!) on the process of ultracentrifugation. They use the options given in the powerpoint to label the diagram. Answers provided in the presentation.

This lesson provides a powerpoint style lesson plan for introducing Carbohydrates, Monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides and the practical for testing reducing sugars (Benedict's test). It covers the following lesson objectives: Objectives: 1) Describe how carbohydrates are constructed - pupils make simple drawings of mono - one; di - two; tri - three 2) Describe the structure of monosaccharides - spot the difference activity; drawing molecular arrangements; writing chemical formula for alpha and beta glucose 3) Describe how to carry out the Benedict’s test for reducing and non-reducing sugars - the theory for the test is simply explained with diagrams; the method for the test is explained; a summary check is given in the form of a table (answers included in the powerpoint) to see that pupils can understand the colour changes from the Benedict's test; further detailed practical instructions are provided for pupils to perform the semi-quantitative test for reducing sugars using Benedict's Solution. This is accompanied by practical questions and a table for the recording of results.

This section of the A-level biology course lends itself to student led activities as it is focuses on three case studies: The Terai region, Maasai Mara and Peat bogs. This Powerpoint presentation provides everything you need to run a student led lesson of research and class presentations complete with information cards for printing and laminating and also a question sheet to complete. There are a set of cards included to provide each student with a specified role within their working group so that all students contribute equally to the task. The lesson is structured towards the following graded lesson objectives: Describe using examples effective conservation programs Explain the effects of human activities on environmental resources Explain how management of an ecosystem can provide resources in a sustainable way The students are then able to use these to reflect on their learning at the end of the lesson. This resource is sold as a single lesson and provides an example of the content and quality of my resources for GCSE and A-level biology, many of which are sold as a series of lessons. Your feedback is much appreciated.

This revision resource is designed for OCR A-level Biology but is equally suitable for other boards. This resource contains: a worksheet for the topic on Transport in Animals: Tissue fluid, Lymph and Exchange at the capillaries model answers for the worksheet information card exam questions mark scheme. This resource is easily differentiated by students choosing to use the information card or completing the worksheet independently. The model answer sheet/key is included for either peer/self assessment. Students that finish early can be looking to extend their understanding by completing the exam questions with mark schemes. The worksheet and information slides are very detailed therefore it is recommended that they be printed in A3 for use. I have included pdf versions in addition to the powerpoint files as powerpoint, opened in different versions, can cause some formatting issues. The powerpoint files are there so that you can edit the resources, if you wish to do so. Topics include: Arterioles and venules; The Formation of Tissue Fluid; The Formation of Lymph; The lymphatic system; Reabsorption of tissue fluid. Other individual worksheets and exam questions are available to complete this series of lessons on Mass Transport. There is also a Bundle that includes all 5 worksheets with corresponding information sheets and exam questions. Please leave a review if you find my resources helpful. Leave three reviews and I will send you a fourth resource of similar value free via email. If you have any issues please contact me at MEstEstEst@gmail.com Thank you.
