This is a complete lesson covering sections 5.1.5 g and h of the OCR Biology specification- organisation of the nervous system and structure of the brain. It starts with the organisation of the nervous system into both structural and functional groupings. It the gives students the chance to practise working out which system different actions belong to. It then goes on to cover the structure and function of the human brain including the cerebrum, cerebellum and medulla oblongata. It closes by examining the link between homeostasis and the autonomic nervous system.

This is a complete lesson covering sections 5.1.2 d of the OCR Biology specification- synapses. It covers the structure and function of a cholinergic synapse and how the movement of an action potential between neurones is triggered by an influx of calcium ions in the presynaptic membrane. The lesson then goes on to discuss convergent and divergent synapses as well as spatial and temporal summation.

This is a complete lesson covering sections 5.1.5 i of the OCR Biology specification-reflex reactions. The lesson starts by introducing the reflex arc and what the events in one are. It also covers the knee jerk reflex and the blink reflex as examples of the survival importance of reflexes. It also offers an opportunity of planning a practical investigating reaction times The lesson includes a starter, full notes, various student led activities and a differentiated summary at the end. All answers are included. I actively try to reduce photocopying, so all of the lesson resources are within the PowerPoint rather than as extra sheets.

This is a complete lesson covering sections 5.1.3 n and o of the OCR A level Chemistry specification- Neutralisation. The lesson opens by considering the use of a pH meter to track a neutralisation reaction. This also includes data for plotting a pH curve. It then moves on to looking at the end point of a titration as well as the equivalence point. It explains the colour change that occurs at the end point and why it happens. The final part of the lesson considers different indicators and how to choose which would be the best to use for each titration. The final activity is an exam question. The lesson includes a starter, full notes, various student led activities and a differentiated summary at the end. All answers are included. I actively try to reduce photocopying, so most of the lesson resources are within the PowerPoint rather than as extra sheets.
