This fully-resourced lesson has been designed to cover the higher tier content of specification points 7.13 & 7.14 (Control of blood glucose concentration) as found in topic 7 of the Edexcel GCSE Biology & Combined Science specifications. This resource contains an engaging PowerPoint and accompanying worksheets, some of which have been differentiated so that students of different abilities can access the work.
The resource is filled with a wide range of activities, each of which has been designed to engage and motivate the students whilst ensuring that the key Biological content is covered in detail. The students will learn how blood glucose concentration is controlled by insulin and glucagon secretion and some time is taken to look at diabetes type I and II to make the link. Understanding checks are included throughout so that the students can assess their grasp of the content. In addition, previous knowledge checks make links to content from earlier topics such as the endocrine system and literacy checks ensure that the students can spell and recognise the key words, which is extremely important considering how many terms begin with the letter g in this homeostatic control system.
As stated at the top, this lesson has been designed for GCSE-aged students who are studying the Edexcel GCSE Biology or Combined Science courses, but it can be used with A-level students who need to go back over the key points before looking at the homeostatic control in more detail

Topic 7: Animal coordination, control and homeostasis (Edexcel GCSE Biology)
Each of the 10 lessons in this bundle have been written to include a wide range of activities that will engage and motivate the students whilst giving them regular oppotunities to assess their understanding of the current topic as well as checking on their knowledge of any previously linked topics. Each lesson has been written for students studying the Edexcel GCSE Biology course and the following specification points in topic 7 are covered by the lessons in this bundle: 7.1: Endocrine glands and the hormones they secrete 7.3: The control of metabolic rate by thyroxine as an example of negative feedback 7.4 & 7.5: The stages and the interactions of the hormones in the menstrual cycle 7.6 & 7.7: Barrier and hormonal contraception, the menstrual cycle and preventing pregnancy 7.8: The use of hormones in Assisted Reproductive Technology 7.9 & 7.10: The importance of homeostasis, including thermoregulation and osmoregulation 7.11 & 7.12: Thermoregulation 7.13 & 7.14: The control of blood glucose concentration by the release of insulin and glucagon 7.15 & 7.16: The causes and control of diabetes type I and II 7.19, 7.20, 7.21 & 7.22: The function of the kidney, the treatments for kidney failure and the formation of urea Each lesson contains a detailed and engaging PowerPoint and accompanying worksheets, most of which are differentiated to enable students of different abilities to access the work.

A fantastic resource. Very well thought out and engaging. Thank you so much!
This was so good during Remote learning, the slides are engaging and they provoked many interesting questions from the pupils. Thanks
Thank you so much for your resources for the lesson on blood glucose concentration - so generous to share! I particularly like the doctor's letters!
