This resource is a free sample to give you an idea of the quality of my teaching resources. The resource contains 17 PowerPoint slides that alternate between student activity and teacher delivery which creates a whole lesson that is student focused. There are a variety of activities all included in the PowerPoint and it all easily exists in one file but in case you prefer printing activities from separate files I have included them as individual pdfs. The PowerPoint has all the answers/mark schemes imbedded within, allowing pupils (and teachers!) to easily refer to the answers for either peer or self-assessment. The resource is applicable to both the AQA and OCR exam boards for AS level biology. The resource will enable students to achieve the following learning objectives: Recall the role of haemoglobin in transporting oxygen & carbon dioxide Describe the changes in the dissociation curve at different carbon dioxide concentrations Explain the effect that an increasing concentration of carbon dioxide has on haemoglobin (Bohr effect) I hope you get some use out of it. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

2 x Hexagonal Kaleidocycles. One for fun (!) and one for summarising everything you need to know about the eye including: 1) Structure of the eye 2) Accommodation 3) Myopia 4) Hyperopia Once made pupils can be instructed to talk about each hexagonal face of the kaleidocycle and teach each other about the eye.

2016 OCR AS biology specification. Crosswords and companion answer sheets. These can be used as a starter, plenary or revision activity. Each crossword is designed to incorporate all key words on each topic. There is a crossword for each of the topics: exchange & transport; natural selection & evolution; transport in plants. A great group activity is to print the crosswords in A3 format, with the grid and clues separate/side-by-side, and have groups of 3/4 AS level pupils competing against each other to complete it.

This revision resource is designed for OCR A-level Biology but is equally suitable for other boards. This resource contains: a worksheet for the topic on Transport in Animals: Tissue fluid, Lymph and Exchange at the capillaries model answers for the worksheet information card exam questions mark scheme. This resource is easily differentiated by students choosing to use the information card or completing the worksheet independently. The model answer sheet/key is included for either peer/self assessment. Students that finish early can be looking to extend their understanding by completing the exam questions with mark schemes. The worksheet and information slides are very detailed therefore it is recommended that they be printed in A3 for use. I have included pdf versions in addition to the powerpoint files as powerpoint, opened in different versions, can cause some formatting issues. The powerpoint files are there so that you can edit the resources, if you wish to do so. Topics include: Arterioles and venules; The Formation of Tissue Fluid; The Formation of Lymph; The lymphatic system; Reabsorption of tissue fluid. Other individual worksheets and exam questions are available to complete this series of lessons on Mass Transport. There is also a Bundle that includes all 5 worksheets with corresponding information sheets and exam questions. Please leave a review if you find my resources helpful. Leave three reviews and I will send you a fourth resource of similar value free via email. If you have any issues please contact me at MEstEstEst@gmail.com Thank you.
