<p>2 hour long lessons covering the following learning objectives:</p> <p>• the roles of the hypothalamus, pituitary and ADH in osmoregulation<br /> • the different parts of the nephron and their roles, including:<br /> • Bowman’s capsule as an ultrafiltration unit<br /> • convoluted tubules in selective reabsorption of glucose, sodium ions and water<br /> • the roles of the adrenal cortex, convoluted tubules and aldosterone in the reabsorption of sodium ions</p> <p>Designed for a Y12 applied science class (AQA Level 3 Applied Science for Unit 4: The Human Body). It could also be used for a higher ability KS4 class for GCSE biology or A-level biology.</p> <p>Every activity is fully differentiated. Largely student lead. Help sheets and all activites are included.</p> <p>L1 tasks: starter to recap on diffusion, think-pair-share activity, intro to nephron, video task with corresponding differentiated question sheet, nephron jigsaw, plenary exam question and mark scheme.</p> <p>L2 tasks: Big question on urine production, label the nephron activity, think-pair-share, intro to osmoregulation and how its controlled, negative feedback loop task with hint sheet available, differentiated written task and peer-assessment answers, info selection task on sodium ion reabsorption, key word plenary.</p>

<p>2 lessons which cover all the learning objectives for the water lesson from the biological molecules unit of the course (AQA A-level biology 7401 year 1).</p> <p>Learning objectives covered are:<br /> • Water is a major component of cells. It has several properties that are important in biology.<br /> • Water is a metabolite in many metabolic reactions, including condensation and hydrolysis reactions<br /> • Water is an important solvent in which metabolic reactions occur<br /> • Water has a relatively high heat capacity, buffering changes in temperature<br /> • Water has a relatively large latent heat of vaporisation, providing a cooling effect with little loss of water through evaporation<br /> • Water has strong cohesion between water molecules; this supports columns of water in the tube-like transport cells of plants and produces surface tension where water meets air.</p> <p>Includes activities (e.g. questions and answers, quick check tasks, structure strip activity and homework question).</p>

<p>A set of 4 lessons (double) which cover all the learning objectives for ‘The musculoskeletal system and movement’ unit of work for the AQA level 3 extended certificate applied science course (year 13). All activites are included, such as starter tasks, dance activies(!), quizes, structure strips, make markscheme tasks etc). Most tasks are differentiated and are easily adapted for ability levels.</p>

<p>2 lessons which cover all the learning objectives for the lipids lesson from the biological molecules unit of the course (AQA A-level biology 7401 year 1).</p> <p>Learning objectives covered are:</p> <ul> <li>Triglycerides and phospholipids are two groups of lipid.</li> <li>Triglycerides are formed by the condensation of one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of fatty acid.</li> <li>A condensation reaction between glycerol and a fatty acid (RCOOH) forms an ester bond.</li> <li>The R-group of a fatty acid may be saturated or unsaturated.</li> <li>In phospholipids, one of the fatty acids of a triglyceride is substituted by a phosphate-containing group.</li> <li>The different properties of triglycerides and phospholipids related to their different structures.</li> <li>The emulsion test for lipids.</li> </ul> <p>Students should be able to:<br /> • recognise, from diagrams, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids<br /> • explain the different properties of triglycerides and phospholipids.</p>

<p>A series of tasks that i set the students prior to the lesson so they become familiar with the content we will be covering. This leaves more time to work on exam questions and application of knowledge in the lesson. From experience of teaching the course i know that its mainly the new key words/vocabulary that the students struggle with, so a lot of the tasks involve define a few key words and then a further task. All tasks are 2 sides of A4 (apart from one which is one side), so this can be printed as a booklet. I have added the booklet as a series of word documents which will make it easier for you to edit if you wish.</p> <p>Topics covered are:<br /> Cell structure: Prokaryotic and eukaryotic organelles<br /> Cell structure: Nucleic acid structure<br /> Cell structure: Magnification<br /> Transport mechanisms: Phospholipid bilayer<br /> The heart: Key structures of the heart<br /> The heart: Myogenic stimulation<br /> The heart: Artificial pacemakers<br /> Homeostasis: Hormones in the body<br /> Homeostasis: Causes, control and treatment of diabetes<br /> Homeostasis: Osmoregulation and the nephron<br /> Homeostasis: Reabsorption of sodium ions and salt in the diet<br /> Breathing/ respiration: Monitoring the respiratory system and BMR<br /> Breathing/ respiration: Stages of respiration<br /> Photosynthesis: Stages of photosynthesis<br /> Photosynthesis: Food chains, GPP and NPP</p> <p>This covers the Y12 biology content only. This is basically a set of homework tasks to cover the entire year of teaching this part of the course.</p>

Whole lesson on the carbon cycle, designed for my mid ability year 10 class. Includes a 'help me' sheet for students struggling to complete the diagram using the own information. I printed out slides 5-9 and gave each table a copy to work with. You'd just need to add some exam questions. Any feedback on the resource is helpful!
