Full lesson for ELC AQA spec. for EAL GCSE learners. component 1: The human body Outcomes​ Respiration releases the energy needed for living processes and is represented by the equation:​ glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ energy)​ Students should know the word equation for respiration.​ Students should know that glucose is derived from the diet and that carbon dioxide and oxygen gases are exchanged through the lungs.​ Lifestyle can have an effect on people’s health eg diet and exercise are linked to obesity; smoking to cancer; alcohol to liver and brain function.​ A healthy diet contains the right balance of the different food groups you need and the right amount of energy.​ People who exercise regularly are usually fitter than people who take little exercise.

This lesson introduces students to the structure, function, and biological importance of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), aligning with the AQA A-level Biology specification on Biological Molecules. The lesson covers the following key areas: What ATP is: Students will learn what ATP is and why it’s considered the cell’s immediate energy source. Structure of ATP: Students will explore the structure of ATP, including its components (adenine, ribose, and three phosphate groups). ATP Hydrolysis and Synthesis: The lesson explains how ATP is hydrolyzed to release energy (ATP → ADP + Pi) and how it is synthesized through processes such as oxidative phosphorylation, photophosphorylation, and substrate-level phosphorylation. Role of ATP in Cellular Processes: Students will understand how ATP is used in metabolic reactions, active transport, muscle contraction, and the synthesis of macromolecules.

Biological molecules unit This comprehensive 1-hour lesson covers the key factors affecting enzyme action, including temperature, pH, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration.

With clear teacher notes and suggested images, this resource ensures that every concept is fully covered according to the AQA specification. Learning Objectives: Measure the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Explain how temperature affects enzyme activity, including the concepts of optimum temperature and denaturation. Describe the impact of pH on enzyme activity and the importance of optimum pH. Understand how substrate concentration affects reaction rates, including the idea of active site saturation. Analyze how enzyme concentration influences reaction rates, considering the saturation point. This resource includes PowerPoint slides with differentiated tasks, clear explanations, and engaging plenary activities to reinforce learning. Perfect for A-level biology teachers looking for a ready-to-use lesson aligned with the AQA specification.
