Topic 8: Coordination, Response and Gene Technology (Edexcel Int. A-level Biology)

This bundle contains 8 fully-resourced lessons which have been designed to cover the following content in topic 8 of the Edexcel International A-level Biology specification:

8.1: Know the structure and function of sensory, relay and motor neurones
8.2: Understand how the nervous system of organisms can cause effectors to respond to a stimulus
8.4: Understand how a nerve impulse is conducted along an axon
8.5: Understand the role of myelination in saltatory conduction
8.6 (i): Know the structure and function of synapses in nerve impulse transmission
8.6 (ii): Understand how the pupil dilates and contracts
8.8: Understand how the nervous system of organisms can detect stimuli with reference to rods in the retina of mammals
8.10: Know that the mammalian nervous system consists of the central and peripheral nervous systems
8.13: Understand how coordination in animals is brought about through nervous and hormonal control
8.18: Understand how recombinant DNA can be produced
8.19: Understand how recombinant DNA can be inserted into other cells

Each of the lessons contains a wide range of activities, which include exam-style questions, guided discussion periods and quick quiz competitions, and these will motivate the students whilst the difficult A-level content is covered
