This is a complete lesson (will cover about 2 hours) that can be used to teach synapses to A-level biologists. It's relevant for all specs as it covers all the key information required, I've used it to teach AQA and OCR.
I initially teach about the structure of the synapse, then transmission of an action potential.
The best part of the lesson is the drug information cards. I printed the slides with drug information in colour and laminated them. Students then worked in pairs to complete the table of information on each drug. This is very good for getting them to work on applying their understanding of synapses. I would say that this part of the activity takes about 25 mins. You can then get feedback from the students and use the answer slides.
