Quick look at the current epidemiology of 3 major global diseases - malaria, HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis. Leads onto a research activity for A-Level students.

Introduction to concept of variation - continuous & discontinuous. Designed to prompt discussion. Leads onto Natural History Museum's Beetle Game about Natural Selection.

PowerPoint detailing causes and methods of transmission of malaria, HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis

I'm not brilliant at making resources unlike many on here but I have made this activity for my A-level students. Print out each page on A4, laminate and attach a longish length of cord or ribbon. Hang a card around the neck of a student with the information on their back. Some have methods and others have descriptions of food preservation. By questioning each other they have to find out which go together. Fits in with unit 2.2.4 of OCR AS Biology. Can also be used at GCSE or KS3.

Simple visual stimulus of limiting factor graph shapes. Also could lead into a practical on measuring oxygen bubbles of Elodea. Teachers can add their own detail if appropriate.

Introduction to Natural Selection and a look at the various types of speciation. Deliberately left without too much text so as to encourage discussion.

Worksheet to accompany a range of simple experiments that demonstrate effects of pressure on liquids and gases. Probably best suited to lower sets.

Cut up the 2 columns into cards which can be given to the students to arrange into the types of protein and their functions. Can be used as a starter to gauge prior knowledge, main to keep the students active and thinking or a plenary to see how much learning has taken place.
