7.1 Haemoglobin NEW Year 12 biology specification

Mass Transport - Haemoglobin, oxygen transport, circulatory systems, structure of the heart, cardiac cycle

This bundle consists of fully resourced lesson series within the unit Mass Transport including Haemoglobin, Transport of Oxygen by Haemoglobin, Circulatory System of a Mammal, The Structure of the Heart and The Cardiac Cycle. There are a number of Activities per complete lesson that are designed to align with the learning objectives for each lesson. 7.1 Haemoglobin: Activity 1: What do you already know about haemoglobin? Activity 2: summarise the four structural levels of proteins Activity 3: watch the video and answer the question "Why is haemoglobin particularly suited to the transport of oxygen?" Activity 4: Consider the concentrations of gases and the affinity for oxygen at different regions of the body to complete the table Plenary activity - multiple choice quiz. 7.2 Transport of oxygen by haemoglobin: Activity 1: Complete key definitions using a link to a video resource that will support students Activity 2: Competition to be completed in groups to collect as much information as possible within a 60 second period (resource provided in the PowerPoint for printing); Activity 3: Annotation of the pupil worksheet; Activity 4: identifying the % saturation of oxygen in the tissues and in the lung on a graph (resource provided in the PowerPoint for printing); Plenary Exam Question with Mark Scheme; Homework activity. 7.3 Circulatory system of a mammal: Starter Activity - Who's heart is it? Information slides on Single/Double Circulatory Systems, Open/Closed Circulatory Systems; Activity 2 Checkpoint Questions with Mark Scheme; Activity 3 Complete Summary Table of Open vs Closed Circulatory Systems; Information slides on Why do organisms need a transport system?; Activity 4 Plenary Worksheet. 7.4 The structure of the heart: Starter Activity: What do you know about the heart? Activity 2 Label the Heart. Mark scheme included. Activity 3 Hunt the Answer - Students use a set of 12 engaging information sheets printed and spread around the room to find the answers to complete the worksheet of questions. Activity 4 - Group discussion of the risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease. Activity 5 - Analyse data to explain the effect of different Risk Factors on blood cholesterol levels. Mark scheme included. 7.5 The cardiac cycle: Describe the stages of the cardiac cycle (C grade); Explain how valves control the flow of blood through the heart (B grade); Explain the volume and pressure changes which take place in the heart during the cardiac cycle (A grade). Each PowerPoint presentation file is detailed, of excellent standard and quality. Activities are fully integrated into the ppt with a focus on pupil-led activities. Answers are included so there is no need for you to prepare a mark scheme and these can be shared on the interactive whiteboard so students can peer or self-assess their own work.
