This resource covers each topic on the specification.
It cannot cover every single question students may be asked. However, it will cover the basics of the following topics.
The questions are exam question focused / summary tasks.
Homeostasis and response
Inheritance, variation and evolution
Ecology
This lesson is made for the following specification for revision purposes.
Recall that all electromagnetic waves are transverse, that they travel at the same speed in a vacuum [5.7]
Explain, with examples, that all electromagnetic waves transfer energy from source to observer [5.8]
Recall the main groupings of the continuous electromagnetic spectrum [5.10-5.12]
Recall that the potential danger associated with an electromagnetic wave increases with increasing frequency [5.20]
Describe the harmful effects on people of excessive exposure to electromagnetic radiation [5.21]
Describe uses of the electromagnetic radiation [5.22]
Spec included:
Explain the role of the specific immune system of the human body in defence against disease [5.13]
exposure to pathogen
the antigens trigger an immune response which causes the production of antibodies
the antigens also trigger production of memory lymphocytes
the role of memory lymphocytes in the secondary response to the antigen
Explain the body’s response to immunisation using an inactive form of a pathogen [5.14]
Spec included:
Explain Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection [4.2]
Explain how the emergence of resistant organisms supports Darwin’s theory of evolution including antibiotic resistance in bacteria [4.3]
Describe the evidence for human evolution, based on fossils, [4.4]
Ardi from 4.4 million years ago
Lucy from 3.2 million years ago
Leakey’s discovery of fossils from 1.6 million years ago
Describe the evidence for human evolution based on stone tools [4.5]
the development of stone tools over time
how these can be dated from their environment
Made for the Edexcel specification.
However the overlap to AQA is essentially the same
Contents: basic explanation and PEQs, both from edexcel and AQA for quantity
Evaluate the advantages of recycling metals, including economic implications and how recycling can preserve both the environment and the supply of valuable raw materials [4.10]
Describe that a life-cycle assessment for a product involves consideration of the effect on the environment of obtaining the raw materials, manufacturing the product, using the product and disposing of the product when it is no longer useful [4.11]
Evaluate data from a life cycle assessment of a product [4.12]
Made for Edexcel - however the same content is in AQA
Learning objectives - spec points
Draw circuit diagrams using the correct symbols [10.2]
Describe the difference between series and parallel circuits [10.3]
Define voltage and describe how to correctly connect a voltmeter in a circuit [10.4-5]
Define current and describe how to correctly connect an ammeter in a circuit [10.7/8]
