Covid-19 - GCSE Biology - Infection and Disease - CORONAVIRUS REMOTE LEARNING PACK

(10)
Remote / home learning pack for the entire Infection and Disease GCSE AQA Biology topic. (Thought this would be a very topical and interesting thing to learn about given the relevance of it in the current situation we are in) Instructions included for teacher setting the work. Work emailed out or uploaded onto Google classroom or whatever is equivalent for you. Includes a starter YouTube clip, some comprehension and then recall and exam questions. Mark scheme included for students to self-mark their answers too. Work could be submitted as a Google doc/emailed/ on paper and picture taken. I hope this comes in useful for you in this challenging period we are in.
A Level Biology - Biological Molecules Revision Booklet

A Level Biology - Biological Molecules Revision Booklet

(1)
Revision booklet for the Biological Molecules topic from A Level Biology. Intended for OCR, however can be used for AQA and Edexcel. Includes recall sections, exam questions and organises all the biological molecules separately. Can be used for revision lessons or extended homeworks (I used to set my students to complete 1-2 pages per week for homework whilst teaching the topic in lessons) or can also be used as an interleaving project. (Especially if some Y13 pupils need some brushing up on Y12 content!)

6 Resources
All lessons for the entire Brain and Neuropsychology topic. (AQA GCSE PSYCHOLOGY NEW SPEC 9-1) Can also download my FREE resource of the RAG/Checklist for this topic to assist with your planning/ scheme of work.

The autonomic nervous system and the fight or flight response. The James-Lange theory of emotion. Neuron structure and function Sensory, relay and motor neurons. Synaptic transmission: release and reuptake of neurotransmitters. Excitation and inhibition. An understanding of how these processes interact. Hebb’s theory of learning and neuronal growth. Structure and function of the brain Brain structure: frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe and cerebellum. Basic function of these structures. Localisation of function in the brain: motor, somatosensory, visual, auditory and language areas. Penfield’s study of the interpretive cortex. An introduction to neuropsychology Cognitive neuroscience: how the structure and function of the brain relate to behaviour and cognition. The use of scanning techniques to identify brain functioning: CT, PET and fMRI scans. Tulving’s ‘gold’ memory study. A basic understanding of how neurological damage, eg stroke or injury can affect motor abilities and behaviour.

What is homeostasis? (5.1.1 Communication & Homeostasis a-c)

(0)
First lesson from 5.1.1 Communication and Homeostasis (spec point a-c): (a) the need for communication systems in multicellular organisms To include the need for animals and plants to respond to changes in the internal and external environment and to coordinate the activities of different organs. (b) the communication between cells by cell signalling To include signalling between adjacent cells and signalling between distant cells. © the principles of homeostasis To include the differences between receptors and effectors, and the differences between negative feedback and positive feedback. Includes detailed lesson content, a video and summary questions.

Endotherms & Ectotherms (OCR A Level Biology - 5.1.1 Communication & Homeostasis d)

(0)
Full lesson for Spec point d of 5.1.1 OCR A Level Biology - 5.1.1 Communication & Homeostasis. Including: ( d) the physiological and behavioural responses involved in temperature control in ectotherms and endotherms. To include: • endotherms – peripheral temperature receptors, the role of the hypothalamus and effectors in skin and muscles; behavioural responses • ectotherms – behavioural responses. • An opportunity to monitor physiological functions in ectotherms and/or endotherms. Includes detailed content, summary questions, videos and exam questions and answers.
PAG 11.2 Daphnia Heart Rate Response to Changes in Surrounding Medium (OCR A Level Biology)

PAG 11.2 Daphnia Heart Rate Response to Changes in Surrounding Medium (OCR A Level Biology)

(0)
Powerpoint for 5.1.1 Communication and Homeostasis - PAG 11.2: “An opportunity to monitor physiological functions in ectotherms and/or endotherms.” I use this for the required practical (PAG) lesson after teaching about ectothermic animals. So I’ll explain what Daphnia are and the overall methodology of the investigation, along with showing the students some videos and then let them do the practical.

Tulving's 'Gold' Memory Study - Brain and Neuropsychology GCSE AQA Psychology (9-1 new spec)

(0)
Simple and straightforward lesson on Tulving’s ‘gold’ memory study (a key study) from the new GCSE AQA Psychology spec. Includes an exam question starter activity and a key study diamond (foldable activity) to fill in the study. Does require the use of pages 164-165 of the AQA GCSE Psychologt textbook. (A handout of the study which includes the aims/methodology/results/conclusion/evaluation will do however).
