Two lessons for 17.3 from the OCR Biology A A Level all about photosynthesis. Lesson 1 focuses on chlorophyll and the light dependent stage. Lesson 2 focuses on the light independent stage. *The lesson was planned with the intention of carrying out flipped learning whereby students do pre-reading on the topic prior to the lesson so that we can consolidate that learning with activities/exam questions during the lesson. *

18.5 lesson from the OCR Biology A A Level all about anaerobic respiration. *The lesson was planned with the intention of carrying out flipped learning whereby students do pre-reading on the topic prior to the lesson so that we can consolidate that learning with activities/exam questions during the lesson. *

18.6 lesson from the OCR Biology A A Level all about respiratory substrates. *The lesson was planned with the intention of carrying out flipped learning whereby students do pre-reading on the topic prior to the lesson so that we can consolidate that learning with activities/exam questions during the lesson. *

12.3 lesson from the OCR Biology A A Level all about the transmission of communicable diseases. *The lesson was planned with the intention of carrying out flipped learning whereby students do pre-reading on the topic prior to the lesson so that we can consolidate that learning with activities/exam questions during the lesson. *

12.6 lesson from the OCR Biology A A Level all about the specific immune system. *The lesson was planned with the intention of carrying out flipped learning whereby students do pre-reading on the topic prior to the lesson so that we can consolidate that learning with activities/exam questions during the lesson. *

Revision worksheet for the Edexcel GCSE Combined Science CB1 topic (cells, enzymes, transporting substances). The idea is that students spend 5 minutes on each segment of the worksheet and make their way around the clock. The page numbers referenced are the Edexcel Combined Science text books .

Revision task for the CB8 unit in the edexcel combined science GCSE. The task involves student’s picking the odd one out from three choices and having to explain why they have made that choice. Answers are included on the second slide.

Includes links for: Chapter 19- Genetics of living systems Chapter 20- Patterns of inheritance and variation Chapter 21- Manipulating genomes Chapter 22- Cloning and biotechnology Chapter 23- Ecosystems Chapter 24- Populations and sustainability

18.2 lesson from the OCR Biology A A Level all about linking glycolysis and the Krebs cycle (the link reaction). *The lesson was planned with the intention of carrying out flipped learning whereby students do pre-reading on the topic prior to the lesson so that we can consolidate that learning with activities/exam questions during the lesson. *

15.7 lesson from the OCR Biology A A Level all about urine and diagnosis. *The lesson was planned with the intention of carrying out flipped learning whereby students do pre-reading on the topic prior to the lesson so that we can consolidate that learning with activities/exam questions during the lesson. *

CB6a lesson from the new Edexcel science GCSE (9-1) looking at photosynthesis. The lesson includes what photosynthesis is, the word equation for photosynthesis, uses of starch and sucrose, starch in variegated leaves practical and how leaves are well adapted to carry out photosynthesis.

Case Study template sheets for students to fill in with information from 24.6-24.9 on the OCR A Level Biology- on the reverse of each sheet is a series of exam style questions (most of which were taken from the student book due to lack of past paper questions). I have attached the word version as well as the PDF for easy editing.

Revision booklet and an accompanying PowerPoint for the CB1 core practical all about using microscopes. It includes starter questions all about microscopes/cells, explaining certain aspects of the method, making scientific drawings of cells from a microscope image and past paper exam questions.
