Usually shared / discussed / used with students just prior to the exam.
PDF version attached.
Information within is a summary of the entire unit, which I've used in a 45 minute / 1 hour session just prior to the exam.
For the A2 OCR Biology Module 6.3.2 – Populations and Sustainability<br />
<br />
Specifically, 6.3.2 c - The reasons for, and differences between, conservation and preservation <br />
<br />
The starter (included) saw each student sharing the information on extinct animals<br />
<br />
The students then split into groups with 1 from each group becoming an expert on either the social, economic, ethical or further reasons for conservation. These experts then had 2 minutes each to feed back to their group. There are 2 word documents (Conservation vs Presentation) and Conservation notes to go with this.<br />

Developed for the new OCR A2 Biology course<br />
<br />
Module 6.3.2 – Populations and Sustainability<br />
<br />
e) - the management of environmental resources and the effects of human activities <br />
<br />
Includes: Antartica, Masai Mara, Peat Bogs, Snowdonia, the Lake District as well as the Terai region in Nepal.<br />
<br />
Book pages refer to the Oxford University Press Textbook (A Level Biology for OCR - A; Year 2)<br />
<br />
I also used video clips from David Attenborough's Galapagos Series (Lonesome George) and his Africa series (small sections on elephant underpass, bush meat and Masai tribesmen saving Lions and working alongside them).
These are from the revised 2016-2018 Cambridge syllabus.<br />
<br />
NB - Page numbers are for 'Biology for IGCSE' (G. Williams - 2009) & 'Biology For You' (G. Williams - 2002).<br />
<br />
I will use them for the yr 10 & 9 groups that I will be teaching from September 2014 (NOT THE YEAR 11 GROUPS - on the old syllabus).<br />
<br />
The Cambridge IGCSE syllabus (0610) has recently changed. <br />
<br />
Teachers syllabus - uses colours to show added, changed, removed content etc.<br />
<br />
The other 2 syllabuses are for the students, the yr 9 one since we start teaching the IGCSE syllabus in yr 9.<br />
<br />
Hope they are useful.

<br />
Specifically, 6.3.2 a - Factors that determine the size of a population <br />
<br />

Links in with bacteria growth curves.
I used the excellent resource by BelleVie (Link below) and added a powerpoint plus SEND version<br />
<br />
Used with a Year 9 Science class.<br />

These are the start of schemes of learning, that are intended to be completed as teachers go through the course.
They should be constantly evolving documents.
For the A2 OCR Biology Module 6.3.2 – Populations and Sustainability<br />
<br />
Specifically, 6.3.2 d - how the management of an ecosystem can provide resources in a sustainable way<br />
<br />
(Fish farming and timber production).<br />
<br />

The Malawi Floods (2015) links / pictures are from my 4 years living there.
5 homework sheets on:<br />
<br />
1) Puberty<br />
2) Reproduction<br />
3) Fetal development<br />
4) Inheritance<br />
5) Immunity<br />
<br />
Each sheet has key words, a DART activity and an extension activity.<br />
<br />
I used for my year 8 groups this year.
Contains slides on the pacemaker (SAN, AVN, Purkinje fibres and the bundle of His); the cardiac cycle (atria systole, Ventricular systole and diastole) as well as some exam questions (Edexcel - AS Biology)
I used this today with an AQA Additional Science C2 Higher revision class.<br />
<br />
The topics are not extensive (i.e. not all of the specification), but was enough to fill 2 hours of revision sessions (which I broke down into 4 parts) and covered all of the points that either came up regularly or that students needed to work on. Most questions have answers included.<br />
<br />
I also printed out some slides and provided a number of the longer answer questions as print outs.<br />
<br />
I've attached some of the sheets I used, for examples the electrolysis sheets.<br />
<br />
Most images and questions are from AQA past papers.<br />
<br />
Most information is from said questions or the AQA Additional Science C2 Spec.
Used this for AQA B2 revision today, but can also be used for years 9 - 11 lessons. Pictures mainly from past papers. I also included notes on a power point, which I will upload as well.<br />
<br />
Can be cut out or left as 1 sheet - I prefer to print out on A3 paper<br />
<br />
Suggested activities:<br />
1) Students identify the bacterial cell, yeast cell, 2 plant cells and 6 animal cells<br />
2) Students label the main parts of each animal and plant cell<br />
3) Students add extra labels and annotated notes for specialised cells<br />
4) Students compare plant and bacteria cells
Instructions for a year 9 SEND pupil on how to carry out a chromatography investigation.<br />
<br />
Using felt tip pens and water as the solvent<br />
<br />
Boxes really helped the SEND student to following the instructions.<br />
<br />
I projected the instructions on the board for other students to follow, after demonstrating how the practical is carried out.
