A series of nine homework projects suitable for KS4 students covering Biology, Chemistry and Physics topics. - Genetics - Hydroponics - Extracting Copper - Oil - Analysing Substances - Nanoparticles and Smart Materials - Waves and Communication - Energy and Payback Time - Forces and Momentum

Obviously they don´t go into as much detail as past paper questions but they do provide a basic summary of questions that students must know the answers to in each topic The answers to these sheets are also included on a separate document, so they make a great independent revision resource

This unit was planned as part of the Chemistry IB Option B - Biochemistry scheme of work, and covers all the topics at SL and HL. It would also be suitable for other schemes of work. It includes 10 full PowerPoints, along with student versions to use as notes, which have spaces for the students to add in missing information and activities for them to complete. It also includes exam questions for practice or assessment purposes Topics covered are: Introduction to Biochemistry - Metabolism - Biochemical reactions in terms of oxidation and reduction - Respiration - Photosynthesis - Hydrolysis and Condensation reactions Proteins - 2 amino acids and their behaviour as zwitterions - Gel electrophoresis - Paper chromatography - Peptides - Hydrolysis of peptides - Proteins - primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures - Acid-base properties of amino acids and proteins - Acid-base buffers - Enzymes - Induced fit theory - Non competitive and competitive inhibition - The Michaelis-Menten equation - Protein Assays Lipids - Fatty acids - Triglycerides - Calculating the iodine number - Hydrolysis of triglycerides - Rancidity of fats - Energy values of fats - Phospholipids - Steroids (including cholesterol) - Sex hormones - Anabolic steroids Carbohydrates - Monosaccharides - Reducing sugars - Disaccharides - Polysaccharides - Starch, glycogen and cellulose Vitamins - Preventing deficiencies - Water and fat solubilities of vitamins - Vitamin A - Vitamin C - Vitamin D - Decomposition of vitamins Environmental Impacts of Biochemistry - Xenobiotics - Metabolism of xenobiotics - DDT - PCBs - Heavy metal toxicity - Pharmaceutically active compounds and detergents - Host-guest complexes - Polymers - Green Chemistry Nucleic Acids - Nucleic Acids - Nitrogeneous Bases and Nucleotides - ATP - The structure of DNA - DNA profiling - DNA replication - Transcription - Genetic Engineering Biological Pigments - Coloured compounds and biological pigments - Carotenes - Porphyrins - Haemoglobin - Factors affceting oxygen uptake in haemoglobin - Foetal haemoglobin - Cytochromes - Chlorophyll - Anthocyanins - Melanin Stereochemistry in Biomolecules - Stereoisomerism - 2-amino acids - Fischer and CORN projections - Stereochemistry in Carbohydrates - Stereochemistry cyclic forms of monosaccharides - Stereochemistry in cellulose - Stereochemistry in fatty acids - Stereochemistry in retinal and vision chemistry

These five PowerPoints were planned as part of the IB scheme of work on Organic Chemistry, and cover the necessary content for both the Standard and Higher Level topics. It would also be suitable for other post-16 courses. Included are fully completed PowerPoints, student versions of the PowerPoints with sections to complete independently and some exam style questions. Topics included are: Organic Chemistry - Fundamentals and Functional GroupsEdit this resource In Chemistry by caverre 0 ratings These two PowerPoints were planned as part of the IB scheme of work on Organic Chemistry, and covers the necessary content for the Standard Level topics. It would also be suitable for other post-16 courses. Included are fully completed PowerPoints, student versions of the PowerPoints with sections to complete independently and some exam style questions.
