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!

Student focused tasks are listed alongside the corresponding learning objectives: LO1 Describe the differences between conservation and preservation - Key definitions (answers provided); plenary activity of examples where students must decide whether it is an example of conservation or preservation (answers provided) LO2 Explain the reasons for conservation and preservation - Are the reasons for Conservation social, economic or ethical activity where students list examples under correct heading (answers provided); Case study activity on the Galapagos Islands where students watch a video link and list all the human activities that have impacted the islands (answers provided) LO3 Compare direct and indirect benefits of conservation - Quick recap questions touch on benefits for conserving an ecosystem and can also be used to consolidate LO1 and LO2 (answers provided). Powerpoint of activities for teacher use in the classroom complete with suggested answers / mark scheme / model answers to share with students so they can use these to compare against their own responses. Activities and Answers also provided in pdf version.

This resource is designed for the current OCR A-level Biology specification. It is suggested that these resources be used at the end of learning the topic on Biological Membranes where the series of different activities are designed to revise and recap the topic. This then leads to using the exam question pack which gets students recalling and applying their understanding to answer the questions. There are mark schemes for both the activity pack and the exam question pack. The mark schemes can be used for either self or peer assessment. The resources provided here will take on average an hour lesson to complete and dependent on the level of the students may take longer. Specific tasks/exam questions could then be set as a homework task to complete. It includes different activities to cover the following learning objectives: The roles of membranes within cells and at the surface of cells. The fluid mosaic model of membrane structure and the roles of its components. 3)The movement of molecules across membranes.
