Lessons created to complement the activate 3 unit of work - Detection in biology. Practical notes are on slide 12 with risk assessment prep. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: State the contents of blood. Describe the functions of blood. Explain why blood transfusions can be dangerous.

A fast paced escape room containing 12 different challenges! - set at 5 minute intervals will easily fill your entire lesson with the students working to crack the code. Each challenge is set at 3 different levels - these can be switched as needed for any challenge i.e. if you’ve covered the periodic table recently you might want your class to attempt the level 2 or 3 version of the challenge. The challenges cover topics such as: The Periodic Table, Acids and Alkalis, Circuits, Motion graphs (Distance-time and Velocity-time), Food tests, Animal and plant cells, Food chains / webs, Radioactivity Half-life, Reflection - pathway of light through many mirrors. Separating techniques - filtration, crystallisation and distillation. Moments / Turning forces DNA triplet code reading Slides can be printed to give out to students or projected on the board - not necessary to print. An answer sheet for each student can also be printed. The final slide contains the correct answers in the correct order.

Resource was intended for BTEC Applied Science Unit 1 Biology. The resource was designed on google slides and should work fine on powerpoint, it might just need some rearranging. Past paper questions are included with the relevant mark scheme answers following. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify the components of a nerve cell: Dendrite, Axon and axon terminal. Describe the function of a synapse. Explain why it is important that neurotransmitters are digested after they generate an impulse.

A comprehensive collection of materials needed to deliver the entire activate 3 (for year 9) curriculum. Although the SoW states that GCSE content can be delivered in term 3, there is enough content in this pack to last the final half term. Materials were prepared using google docs / slides - to prevent formatting issues, please open the resources using google slides instead of powerpoint. The materials include: A fully written scheme of work. Full lessons for each lesson / concept. Revision mind maps for end of units. GAP tasks to consolidate learner knowledge. It does not include due to copyright infringements: The end of unit tests for activate 3.

A comprehensive collection of materials needed to deliver the entire activate 2 (for year 8) curriculum. The materials include: A fully written scheme of work. Full lessons for each lesson / concept. Revision mind maps for end of units. GAP tasks to consolidate learner knowledge. It does not include due to copyright infringements: The end of unit tests for activate 2.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: List the names and order the stages of the cell cycle including mitosis. Describe what happens in each stage of the cell cycle, including mitosis. Describe how mitosis produces genetically identical, diploid cells. Explain why mitosis is important. Includes an entire slow animation of the entire mitosis process (60 slides) Includes scaffolded questions to allow access for all learners - 74 slides in total. Suitable for KS3 and KS4.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: State what’s meant by biodiversity. Describe how biodiversity can be increased / decreased. Describe what non-indigenous / alien species can do to biodiversity. Explain why there is a limit on how much fertiliser a person can buy.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify changes that occur during puberty. Describe how testosterone and oestrogen affect the body. Compare the changes that occur in girls to boys.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify parts of a seed. Describe how the pollen grain fertilises the ovule. Explain why seeds will only germinate when exposed to water.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify variation. Describe the process of survival of the fittest. Explain why natural selection requires reproduction.

A comprehensive lesson which will teach students about mutations and the role of siRNA Contains differentiated tasks in order to meet the needs of different learners. Learning objective: Analyze the impact of mutations on gene expression, protein structure and function, and organismal traits, considering both beneficial and harmful effects. Success criteria: I can define mutations and explain why mutations affect the produced protein. Critically evaluate the role of siRNA and RISC in regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, emphasizing their impact on mRNA stability, translation efficiency, and cellular processes. 3. I can critically assess the ethical considerations surrounding siRNA-based therapies, addressing concerns about potential unintended consequences and the manipulation of gene expression. Contains 17 slides and a lesson plan I used this resource to teach the Pearson international BTEC level 3 unit 14A genetics course.

Resource designed to use when delivering the Pearsons iBTEC Applied Science: Unit 1: Principles and Applications of Biology I Success criteria: I can identify different structures within a plant. I can describe the uses of the parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma I can explain why these tissues are effective at their function.
