Differentiated carbon cycle lesson, adapted from seardin's lesson found on TES, big thanks :)<br />
<br />
Aimed at year 8, but could be adapted for GCSE.
<p>Core practical summary of all the AS and A2 core practicals, wherever possible I have used the breakdown from past exam questions.</p>
<p>I have split this into CORMS, which I use to teach how to answer investigation questions (it was an Edexcel examiner’s way of marking investigation 6 markers).</p>
<p>C - change<br />
O - organism<br />
R - repeat<br />
M - measure<br />
S - same<br />
S - safety</p>
<p>Hope this helps :)</p>
PowerPoint and resources for Year 13 Biology, sliding filament theory. Includes guided visualisation and some more interesting questions to research. Extension also included.
<p>Written for Edexcel, but also works for other exam boards.</p>
<p>Retrieval practice critical thinking starter about mitosis.<br />
Introduction to embryonic and adult stem cells.<br />
4 case studies to evaluate - embryonic donors, embryonic from therapeutic cloning, adult donors, adult own cells. With an extension activity.<br />
Summary table of pros and cons of each for student notes.<br />
Exam question with mark scheme to finish.</p>
Covers the following spec points from the new (2015) Edexcel A level Biology course. <br />
<br />
2.13 i) Know the meaning of the terms: gene, allele, genotype, phenotype, recessive, dominant, incomplete dominance, homozygote and heterozygote.<br />
ii) Understand patterns of inheritance, including the interpretation of genetic pedigree diagrams, in the context of monohybrid inheritance.<br />
2.14 Understand how the expression of a gene mutation in people with cystic fibrosis impairs the functioning of the gaseous exchange, digestive and reproductive systems.<br />
2.15 i) Understand the uses of genetic screening, including the identification of carriers, pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and prenatal testing, including amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling.<br />
ii) Understand the implications of prenatal genetic screening.<br />
2.16 Be able to identify and discuss the social and ethical issues related to genetic screening from a range of ethical viewpoints.
Renewable energy debate lesson, designed for use with QR readers, but could be adapted using helpsheets instead. Use of roles for each student & a dragons den style pitch for each resource.
These are not perfect, but hopefully a good starting point. Hope they help.<br />
