Phylogeny
Subject: Biology
Age range: 14-16
Resource type: Lesson (complete)
A concise lesson presentation (20 slides) and associated worksheet that guides students through phylogenetic trees and helps them to be able to interpret these diagrams. The lesson begins by stating three key points about the trees which will form the basis of their understanding. Moving forwards, a series of questions with explained answers are used to show how common ancestors in the past can be used to work out which present day organisms are the most closely related. Students are given lots of opportunities to assess their understanding and check that they can explain.
This lesson has been written for GCSE but could be used as a recap for those students studying at A-level
A bundle is a package of resources grouped together to teach a particular topic, or a series of lessons, in one place.
This bundle of 14 lessons covers the majority of the content in Topic B6 (Inheritance, Variation and Evolution) of the AQA Trilogy GCSE Combined Science specification. The topics covered within these lessons include: DNA Reproduction Meiosis X and Y chromosomes Genetic diagrams Inherited disorders Variation Evolution Selective breeding Genetic engineering Fossils Antibiotic-resistant bacteria Classification All of these lesson presentations and accompanying resources are detailed and engaging and contain regular progress checks to allow the students to constantly assess their understanding.
This bundle of 10 lessons covers the majority of the content in Topic B5 (Genes, inheritance and selection) of the OCR Gateway A GCSE Combined Science specification. The topics covered within these lessons include: Variation Types of reproduction Meiosis Genetic diagrams Sex determination Classification Evolution by natural selection Evidence for evolution All of these lesson presentations and accompanying resources are detailed and engaging and contain regular progress checks to allow the students to constantly assess their understanding. It is estimated that this bundle would cover about 6 week’s worth of lessons.
This bundle of 4 lessons covers the majority of the content in the sub-topic B5.2 (Natural selection and evolution) of the OCR Gateway A GCSE Combined Science specification. The topics and specification points covered within these lessons include: * Developments in biological classification systems * Explain how evolution occurs through natural selection * Describe the evidence for evolution All of these lesson presentations and accompanying resources are detailed and engaging and contain regular progress checks to allow the students to constantly assess their understanding.
