All you need to teach Natural selection and Evolution for any specification!
Here you have power point presentations and exam questions, all relevant to the new A-level OCR biology specification!
Powerpoint presentations are very detailed, including topics such as variation, natural selection, adaptations, evidence for natural selection, and many example questions on natural selection!
Check the 4.2 Exam pack, it is packed with lots of relevant evolution questions ( with classification questions also), with mark schemes also!
Over 13 resources on 3.3 Transport in plants, for the new OCR A-level A specification.
This includes, powerpoint presentations on all the lessons, activities and exam questions!
Two powerpoint presentations that help students work through 6 mark questions on the cardiac cycle and double and single circulatory systems.
There are differentiated 6 mark questions, on a 6 mark question framework, enabling students to plan out their answers. The framework. The framework includes a key word box, command words section, plan section and assessment criteria boxes. The higher ability students would need to come up with their own assessment critiera, however the lower ability students can use the assessment criteria provided.
This is suitable for for the new OCR gateway 9-1 specification, IGCSE and many other specifications!
The powerpoint presentation shows how you can use these assessments as a peer-assessment or self assessment tool! For example, for the cardiac cycle question, there are exam answers for students to assess themselves using the assessment critieria.
All the new specification exam questions in a pack, Simpson’s index diversity questio pack and a detailed powerpoint presentation on the lesson on Simpson’s index of diversity.

Questions on plant and animal responses, With synoptic questions and practical questions also
Resource completely compatible for the new OCR A-level A biology spec and others if adapted slightly.
Resource bundle includes seperate lesson powerpoints for every lesson and ALL exam questions from the old spec AND new spec. There are also legacy specification questions.
Lesson content:
Lesson 1 and 2: The need for transport systems in plants + strucure and function of specialised cells and tissues in plants ( xylem, phloem, vascular bundles in roots and stems etc.
lesson 3: movement of water through plant ( osmosis, apoplast,symplast and vacuoular pathways)
lesson 4 part 1 and 2: Transpiration, potometer, transpiration stream, transpiration pull, pathway through endodermis etc
lesson 5: translocation
lesson 6: adaptation of xerophytes
Literally everything you need to teach this unit effectively!
This resource pack includes all the lessons for B3.1 nervous system and includes the content for both separate science ( triple) and combined science.
Packed full of exam questions and activities on the ppt presentation and seperate word documents. This also includes the mark schemes.
The lessons covered are:
The nervous system ( Includes the structure and function of the CNS)
Reflexes - including reflex actions and reflex arc. This also includes a brief section on testing your reflexes with a ruler experiment
The eye ( separate science) - structure and function of the eye, defects of the eye e.g. short and long sightedness, colour-blindness, eye accomadation
The brain ( seperate science) - structure and function of the brain, techniques used to study the brain e.g. MRI, CAT and EEG scans, evaluating the different techniques to study the brain.
Nervous system damage
There are exam questions on every lesson, including various 6 mark questions e.g. two 6 mark questions on the eye, one 6 mark question on reflex arc.
Two packs, one for OCR gateway biology A, and one for OCR gateway 21st century science. However, I am using both for gateway science specification as the skills are relevant.
Markschemes are included also!
Exam builder used, but a lot of formatting was needed due to conversion to Word document.
A combined unit test on Ecosystems, populations and sustainability ( 6.5 and 6.6 text book units or 6.3.1 and 6.3.2 specification), perfect for the new OCR-A level biology specification.
This is an absolutely amazing deal, and will save you hours worth of work! This is becaus this superb Photosynthesis unit bundle contains - I repeat contains EVERYTHING you need to effectively teach the unit to your A-level biology students!
This bundle is completely compatible for the new OCR A-level biology A specification and includes:
*** Detailed and informative lesson presentations on all the topics
exam questions on literally all the topics - all in seperate word documents so you can print it bit-by-bit as you teach
a fantastic practical photosynthesis exam question pack - have endured the painstaking process of extracting ALL- yes ALL the experimental questions on photosynthesis into one booklet! **
** There is an pair-activity on cyclic and non-cyclic photophosphorylation, whereby students use the grid to assess each other’s understanding on both of these processes. Students need to verbally recall or draw diagrams, while the other person acts as the assessor.**
there is a fantastic, challenging synoptic extended question where students are required to compare photophosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation, students can use the fantastic diagrams provided.
Topics include:
The interrelationship between respiration and photosynthesis - includes a challenging synoptic question!
Chloroplast and photosynthetic pigments structure and function
The light dependent stage
the light independent stage
photophosphorylation
factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis
