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: The Cardiac Cycle 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: Cardiac muscle; Atrial Systole; Ventricular Systole; Diastole; The importance of Valves; Pressure changes in the heart; Electrical Conduction; Components of an ECG trace. 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.

This resource is designed for the new AQA GCSE (Grade 1-9) TRIPLE Biology ONLY* specification. Everything you need is within the PowerPoint - just print the activities from there, but I have also included the exam questions as a separate file in case you prefer to print from individual files. The complete lesson includes multiple lesson activities, mini-plenaries and exam practice built into high quality PowerPoint slides. The following learning objectives are covered within this lesson: Recall the base paired structure of DNA (Grade 4) - video, recap questions Explain steps in the process of protein synthesis (Grade 6) - information slides, summary, practice exam questions Link the mutations in the DNA code to the proteins made (Grade 8) - information slides, practice exam question (longer answer - 5 marker). Both the slides and the word document contain the mark scheme and can be used for peer/self-assessment. I have now included the mini-plenary task as a separate file so that you can print straight from pdf rather than printing slides from the PowerPoint. *Biology ONLY content is the triple GCSE award in science

Lesson plan (PowerPoint) and activities to achieve the following learning objectives: 1) Recall that the process of anaerobic respiration releases less energy than aerobic respiration 2) Recall the word equation for anaerobic respiration 3) Explain why heart rate and breathing rate increase with exercise 4) Define excess post-exercise oxygen consumption or EPOC 5) Calculate heart rate, stroke volume and cardiac output, using the equation 6) Explain why, during vigorous exercise, muscle cells start to respire anaerobically 7) Explain why heart rate and breathing rate remain high after exercise Exam questions - answers included in the PowerPoint. Differentiated exercises included with challenge questions.
