GCSE Biology lesson plan/PowerPoint presentation contains all the activities and resources (in one file!) to achieve the following learning objectives: 1) Describe the roles of hormones in sexual reproduction - label glands (extension to describe what they do); information slides on reproductive hormones - linking task, hormone-gland-effect on the body; definitions (inhibit/stimulate); exam questions; differentiated worksheet on the menstrual cycle hormones. 2) Explain how hormones interact in the menstrual cycle - information slide on steps of the menstrual cycle - linking task, hormone-gland-effect on the body; ordering task: sequence of changes in the menstrual cycle; a game of Guess Who?, pupils read job descriptions and have to guess the gland/organ/hormone involved; exam questions. There are mini-plenaries throughout to check understanding of this difficult topic, there are options for plenary and AfL tasks from sorting tasks, linking tasks, literacy and numeracy with graph reading skills, practice exam questions and a worksheet. ALL these activities come complete with PRINTABLE slides and FULLY INTEGRATED answers for peer or self-assessment. And hence why everything is contained within one PowerPoint.

This resource is designed for OCR exam board with much overlap with AQA exam board. It contains a worksheet of short answer questions illustrated with diagrams of the different carbohydrate molecules students must be familiar with. Questions have students practicing their recognition and drawing of biological molecules, including condensation and hydrolysis reactions. There are summary activites to complete on simple sugars (glucose, fructose, galactose, maltose, sucrose and lactose) and then a further summary activity on all the important polysaccharides (amylose, amylopectin, glycogen, cellulose). There is a mark scheme included for all summary activities. The resource ends with a selection of exam questions including multiple choice, short and long answer questions. Mark scheme included. pdf files have been included for ease of printing. Word documents included for ease of editing.
