This two page summary of transport systems in plants summarises key concepts and reinforces understanding. It includes:<br /> 1. Topic key words<br /> 2. Questions to make students think about movement of O2, CO2, and H2O in and out of the leaf.<br /> 3. A summary table of the factors affecting transpiration rate.<br /> 4. A summary table comparing xylem and phloem.<br /> <br /> Comments welcome!

This PowerPoint demonstrates how recreational drugs have their effects because their molecular shapes mimic the shapes of normal neurotransmitters.

I made five sets so each pupil could have more than one card. They were told to find someone with different cards and work out the order, and then that pair had to find another pair to splice both sets of results together. Finally we created the reactivity series as a class. (Warning to chemists – I had to take some artistic license with some of the figures because they weren’t available!)

There is a diagram of the human digestive system to label. There is also a diagram and fill in the blank to summarise the process of digestion.

Also included is a copy with the answers filled in.

Fill in the blank worksheet. Topics covered are:<br /> 1. roles of plant organs<br /> 2. photosynthesis equations<br /> 3. glucose storage<br /> 4. what the plant does with glucose<br /> <br /> Comments welcome!

The Factsheet has been created using information from the NHS website. I gave out the factsheets and worksheets together. The factsheet looks rather dense but girls, especially, of all abilities found it accessible.

<p>This Powerpoint demonstrates how predators and prey use camouflage, with a focus on arthropods (minibeasts for KS2). The last part examines how they use warning coloration to protect themselves, as well as using mimicry. The first part could be used as an introduction to practical work outside.</p>

This table summarises the features of animal, plant, bacterial, and fungal cells. It is blank for pupils to fill in.

<p>A fill in the box table which clearly compares the structure and function of xylem and phloem.</p>

Examples from everyday experience. The exercise is improved if you search Google images for examples of the various animals in the questions. We did this in class so I could project pictures and also help them out.

This worksheet includes:<br /> 1. Fill in the blank summary of excretion processes<br /> 2. A diagram of the human urinary tract to label<br /> 3. A fill in the blank to explain what happens to surplus amino acids and urea.

This resource contains two sets of cards, one about enzyme activity and one about digestive enzymes. Each card contains a vocabulary word and the definition of the next word in the loop. When all cards are assembled the definition on the last card defines the first word, hence joining up the loop.

The first page can be used as a starter by projecting it on the board. The second page is an in depth worksheet for KS5 or higher KS4 sets. The link takes you to an interesting website with lots more human Mendelian traits listed. The second resource is a simplified version of this worksheet.

This is a 2 page worksheet whose contents cover understanding of:<br /> 1. peripheral vs central nervous systems<br /> 2. each type of neurone - sensory, relay, motor<br /> 3. reflex arc<br /> 4. associated key words<br /> The nervous system can be difficult to learn because of the relative complexity of the separate components. I have tried to connect these up into a meaningful whole. <br /> Comments welcome!

The worksheet title is 'Division of Labour in Digestion - What does it do?'. There are 3 columns which focus on content of digestive juices and where they are released, where digestion takes place, and where absorption takes place. It's a one page summary of everything going on in the digestive system.

A one page summary which includes<br /> 1. A table to fill in to compare hormonal and nervous communication.<br /> 2. A fill in the back feedback loop to explain control of blood glucose levels.

A one page table to summarise the following information for carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.<br /> 1. the elements each is composed of<br /> 2. the units each is composed of<br /> 3. the enzyme used to break it down<br /> 4. therelevant food test

Each card contains a vocabulary word and the definition of the next word in the loop. When all cards are assembled the definition on the last card defines the first word, hence joining up the loop.

This is an imaginative genetics worksheet which is fairly challenging and probably best for higher sets. It is based on another TES resource but has been further developed.

This is a one page table summary of the digestive system which shows the enzymes, etc released at each stage in the first column. The second column is about which digestive processes are occurring, and the third column is about where absorption is taking place.
