During this lesson (B10.1 Principles of homeostasis) GCSE students work through a variety of tasks to develop their understanding of what homeostasis is and why it is important. Based on the 1st from the AQA 9-1 GCSE Biology (OUP scheme) B10: The human nervous system chapter. Also available as a digital worksheet, which is ideal for distance learning, independent study or catch-up of missed work through absence. Presentation contains (23 slides)- Bell work activity Lesson objective and success criteria Information slides Challenge activities (group work) Demonstrate understanding tasks (with answers) Lesson resources (additional to scheme) Aimed at a mixed ability class covering content 1-8. Please note: Kerboodle worksheets from scheme are not included due to license (alternatives suggested where possible).

A pack of four visually engaging worksheets for GCSE Biology students studying the homeostasis topic. The worksheets encourage independent learning as the pupils can work through them following the clear instructions given. The worksheets are useful for when learning the topic, for revision and/or assessment of knowledge and understanding of the topic. The pack covers the following: 1.) Skin structure and its role in temperature regulation 2.) Temperature regulation 3.) Blood sugar control 4.) Summary questions on the homeostasis topic Answers are included to each worksheet, helpful to the non-specialist teaching Biology.

My style of teaching isn’t for everyone, I’m a dyslexic teacher who’s heard it all, my lessons are all catered towards accessibility (because if they were not I’d never be able to read them myself). Everything is short sharp and to the point, I don’t believe in endless writing, reams of printing, spoon feeding diagrams or pointless activities. Every minute matters! Be sure to check out all my other resources, as a personal goal I intend to share all my resources at least once because hey, the government isn’t going to make it easier and we both know you are reading this way outside of your work hours. Enjoy, comment or rate if you can, but most of all hang in there, they need you way more than you realise!

Handwritten, full colour revision mat following the AQA scheme homeostasis and response topic. Ideal to use as revision before end of topic assessments or final GCSE exams. Can be combined with the free question mat as a great revision activity.

Designed for a low ability group working through the OCR gateway B1f topic

This is a full lesson, including lesson plan. Differentiated resources are included and this stretches the higher ability significantly. Definitions and key points are clear and provides an interactive learning environment.

A lesson and worksheet on Homeostasis

The control mechanisms of homeostasis are explained with diagrams. Covers: What is homeostasis? Which systems are regulated by homeostasis? What happens when it goes wrong? Includes: Thermoregulation with details and discussion of regulators/endotherms and conformers/ectotherms. Glucoregulation with details of control mechanisms and diagrams Osmoregulation Briefly uses diabetes as an example of factors that can affect homeostasis. Includes a research worksheet for students to complete to look at symptoms, treatment etc of different conditions that affect homeostasis.

Content: Regulating the body temperation Control of water and nitrogen levels Includes: -Descriptions along with illustrations for each -Task for students to summarise each -Exam Practice

an introduction on homeostasis year 10 with worksheet and a practical

A worksheet aimed at advanced biology students, this comprehensive set of worksheets can effectively be used to introduce the concept of homeostasis (focusing on negative feedback mechanisms and the need to keep a steady state) and thermoregulation. Students can work their way through each section of the worksheet before a class discussion to check understanding - for some sections a teacher may decide to lead on an explanation before using the worksheet exercises as a way of checking understanding. Key words: homeostasis, negative feedback, thermoregulation, sweating, vasoconstriction, vasodilation, piloerection, shivering

14 slides. covers controlling internal environment and interactive activities for your class. a worksheet also included for independent learning.

Fantastic assessment / revision or just a worksheet to strength knowledge and understanding of homeostasis.
