A comprehension lesson that teaches students about the carbon cycle, how carbon is found and moved throughout the ecosystem. Links here to the impact of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the forest fires experienced in Australia. Support sheets are also included to guide students should it be needed. Tasks are differentiated to suit the needs of each learner. Progress checks are present after each success criteria Past paper questions from the exam boards: WJEC, Edexcel international and UK including marking schemes. By the end of the lesson students should be able to: Learning objective: Evaluate the stages of the carbon cycle and make links between different processes and the movement of Carbon. Success criteria: I can describe 4 ways in which living organisms relate to Carbon. I can create a flow diagram to show the flow of Carbon. I can evaluate how sections of the Carbon cycle will be impacted by external factors. Powerpoint contains 20 slides and a lesson plan is also attached.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify the ions present surrounding nerve axons. Describe how a resting potential is achieved in the nerve cell membrane. Explain why Potassium ion channels are needed in nerve cell membranes.

This is a lesson I used myself to teach the Transport across membranes concept of unit 2 cells - a level biology, AQA specification. Learning objective: To evaluate different modes of transport across membranes. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Success criteria: SC1: Describe membrane structure. SC2: Explain the importance of different modes of transport. SC3: Evaluate which mode of transport is suitable for specific molecules. Contains past paper questions that target this topic, some questions require knowledge from prior lessons. Powerpoint contains 16 slides and 6 past paper questions.
