5.1.4 Hormonal Communication  ( approx 6-7 lessons) OCR A level biology

5.1.4 Hormonal Communication ( approx 6-7 lessons) OCR A level biology

(0)
For the OCR A level biology specification. I have included the handout (52 pages) I give to students as a printed A4 booklet but you may adapt as you wish, this has lots of summary questions, exam questions and lined paper in the back to allow for flexibility. The lessons are in one power point, divided into sections for each lesson. A lot of consideration has gone into the clear diagrams, animations, linking to other parts of the specification and morph transitions to give a slick presentation. Lessons include: Hormonal communication The adrenal glands The pancreas Regulating blood sugar Diabetes Revision - revision grid, glossary and study mind questions sets with QR codes to question papers and mark schemes (enough for 2-3 hours) I hope you find this useful and I really value your feedback - more module 5 available and more on the way
