DNA and the genome<br /> 2. DNA structure<br /> 3. Reproduction and meiosis<br /> 4. Sexual and asexual reproduction<br /> 5. Genetic inheritance<br /> 6. Inherited disorders<br /> 7. Mendel and the understanding of genetics <br /> 8. Variation<br /> 9. Evolution and extinction<br /> 10. The Theory of Evolution and fossils<br /> 11. Speciation<br /> 12. Selective breeding<br /> 13. Genetic engineering<br /> 14. Cloning<br /> 15. Resistant bacteria<br /> 16. Classification<br /> 17. Summary lesson<br /> 18. Podcast activity<br /> <br /> Feedback really appreciated :-)

<p>Comprehension and additional task exercises pages 42 and 43 from Next Page Science KS3 Complete. Accompanying PowerPoint and word searches available for <strong>free</strong> from the website.<br /> This exercise covers:<br /> • What to evolve means<br /> • Genetic changes can happen naturally or due to the environment e.g. radiation<br /> • Survival of the fittest as those traits that help survival are passed on and become more common in the population<br /> • Extinction of a species<br /> • Charles Darwin as the scientist credited with first presenting the idea<br /> • The fact that evolution is still happening today<br /> • Amazing WHAT? facts</p>

<p>This is a book full of questions which is great to give to students to learn and revise. This can be used as a great source of revision or a homework task where students have to learn the answers and then they are tested on them next lesson. The Knowledge booklets contains the key scientific knowledge that has been formed in association with the 2016 onward, AQA specification. This key scientific Knowledge is the fundamental information that students will need to learn to apply to exam style questions.</p>

<p>GCSE set of resources covering the genetics and evolution topic. There are PowerPoints, sheets, exam questions and assessments within these lessons.</p>

<p>A FIVE item resource package suitable for grade 11 and 12 students. This package of resources focuses on Genetics and Evolution. It includes higher order testing items and is an excellent exam practice package. All memos and rubrics are included.</p>

<p>✓ Engaging presentation<br /> ✓ Worksheet with flashcards<br /> ✓ Lots of short AFL tasks<br /> ✓ Exam question examples</p> <p>This lesson on Genetic Modification is designed for KS4 Science students enrolled in the CIE Cambridge IGCSE Biology 0610 (2023-25) course. This is the first lesson in the topic 21 Biotechnology and Genetic Modification. This lesson covers the syllabus points from both 21.1 and 21.3 (as these went together quite nicely).</p> <p>The lesson recaps previous learning from other linked topics to ensure students have a strong foundation before diving into the material. It also includes concise and easy-to-understand information and a variety of quick assessment for learning tasks to help students solidify their understanding of the topic. There is a strong emphasis on answering exam questions, with examples and the mark scheme included in the presentation.</p> <p>Objectives:<br /> 21.1 Biotechnology and genetic modification</p> <ul> <li>State that bacteria are useful in biotechnology and genetic modification due to their rapid reproduction rate and their ability to make<br /> complex molecules</li> <li>Discuss why bacteria are useful in biotechnology and genetic modification, limited to: (a) few ethical concerns over their manipulation<br /> and growth (b) the presence of plasmids<br /> 21.3 Genetic modification</li> <li>Describe genetic modification as changing the genetic material of an organism by removing, changing or inserting individual genes</li> <li>Outline the process of genetic modification using bacterial production of a human protein as an example, limited to: (a) isolation of the DNA making up a human gene using restriction enzymes, forming sticky ends (b) cutting of bacterial plasmid DNA with the same restriction enzymes, forming complementary sticky ends © insertion of human DNA into bacterial plasmid DNA using DNA ligase to form a recombinant plasmid (d) insertion of recombinant plasmids into bacteria (specific details are not required) (e) multiplication of bacteria containing recombinant plasmids (f) expression in bacteria of the human gene to make the human protein</li> <li>Outline examples of genetic modification: (a) the insertion of human genes into bacteria to produce human proteins (b) the insertion of genes into crop plants to confer resistance to herbicides © the insertion of genes into crop plants to confer resistance to insect pests (d) the insertion of genes into crop plants to improve nutritional qualities</li> <li>Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of genetically modifying crops, including soya, maize and rice</li> </ul> <p>This lesson would also be adaptable for all GCSE students (whether AQA, Edexcel, OCR) and great for KS3 Science or as a GCSE revision resource.</p>

<p>✓ Engaging powerpoint<br /> ✓ Recaps previous linked learning<br /> ✓ Lots of AFL tasks and activities<br /> ✓ Past paper questions and mark scheme</p> <p>This lesson on Natural and Artificial Selection is designed for KS4 Science students enrolled in the CIE Cambridge IGCSE Biology 0610 (2023-25) course. This is the third and last lesson in the topic 18 Variation and Selection.</p> <p>The lesson recaps previous learning from other linked topics to ensure students have a strong foundation before diving into the material. It also includes concise and easy-to-understand information and a variety of quick assessment for learning tasks to help students solidify their understanding of the topic. Just glance through the PowerPoint presentation and you are ready to go!</p> <p>This resource also includes past paper questions for optional printing alongside a mark scheme to further deepen students’ understanding.</p> <p>Objectives</p> <ul> <li>Describe natural selection with reference to: (a) genetic variation within populations, (b) production of many offspring, © struggle for survival, including competition for resources, (d) a greater chance of reproduction by individuals that are better adapted to the environment than others, (e) these individuals pass on their alleles to the next generation</li> <li>Describe selective breeding with reference to: (a) selection by humans of individuals with desirable features, (b) crossing these individuals to produce the next generation, © selection of offspring showing the desirable features</li> <li>Outline how selective breeding by artificial selection is carried out over many generations to improve crop plants and domesticated animals and apply this to given contexts</li> <li>Describe adaptation as the process, resulting from natural selection, by which populations become more suited to their environment over many generations</li> <li>Describe the development of strains of antibiotic resistant bacteria as an example of natural selection</li> <li>Outline the differences between natural and artificial selection</li> </ul> <p>This lesson would also be adaptable for all GCSE students (whether AQA, Edexcel, OCR) and great for KS3 Science or as a GCSE revision resource.</p>

A good starter, based around AQA's B1 unit 3. Covers: cloning, reproduction, genetic modification, evolution etc. Each definition links to a different keyword, so that theoretical the game &amp;'loops&amp;'; all the way around the class. Adapt the definitions according to pupils' ability, and add definitions depending on class size!<br /> [Thanks for the comments - I have now converted it to a word file]

If you use this resource please let me know what you think! Print these slides off in colour and spread them around the room, students can then collect information from the sheet about the different genetically engineered organisms. I think this is a good activity to illustrate the wide variety of ways that organisms can be genetically engineered.

Looks at: the definition and theory of evolution, variation (continuous and discontinuous), speciation, adaptation

<p>Selection of exam questions from AQA that are useful when teaching the B15 topic in the new AQA Trilogy and Biology specification.</p>
