This is a whole lesson on a power point slide. I have included a recap of the root hair cell. Students will then watch the video on transpiration to give an overall idea of how water and minerals are transported to the leaves. I have set a mini research task for students to find out how water and mineral ions enters the root hair cell and passes to the xylem. Finally - 2 exam questions (grade 5 - 8)

A power point full lesson allowing students to understand the role of photosynthesis in producing glucose for energy storage. Student should be able to understand the process of photosynthesis and its importance in the conversion of light energy to chemical energy Write a word and balanced symbol equation for photosynthesis Describe adaptations of a leaf for efficient photosynthesis There is a six mark exam question and mark scheme for self/peer assessment.

A power point to aid students understand how vaccination results in the manufacture of memory cells which enable future antibody production to the pathogen to occur sooner, faster and in greater quantity. I have used a range of resources throughout the PPT. There are 2 video which can prompt discussion. The first is a starter activity which reflects on the previous lesson, looking at the function of phagocytes and lymphocytes. Students are then introduced to the idea of vaccinations both by discussion and a video. There is a card sort activity to put the process in order and then a graph analysis task.

A series of questions focused on the scientific article for the IAL Edexcel exam - unit 5. There is a teacher answer sheet included. I have also included a copy of the Scientific Article from Edexcel Unit 5 Exam and definitions for vocabulary. I have focused on the following topics: • The nervous system – structure and function of each neurone • Action potentials and how an impulse is generated • Synapses • Structure and function of areas of the brain • FMRI scans • The eye • Brain injuries • Critical window • Respiration • PCR and Gel electrophoresis • Speciation This resource helps student´s to focus their revision in the appropriate areas and help develop their exam response.

Specification link: 1.2 (b) relate the structures of polysaccharides to their role in providing and storing energy A lesson designed to promote independent learning. There is a video students use the video to extract information about amylose and amylopectin and the difference in structure. Students find out independently how each molecule can be broken down to release energy. Exam circus of questions to work through with a partner. Check points provided after each task to ensure learning/correct information collected.

Specification link: 1.2 (a) know the differences between monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides including glycogen and starch In this lesson, students will learn the structures of common monosaccharides and how they combine in a condensation reaction to form disaccharides. Polysacchrides are mentioned briefly but they are studied in more detail next lesson (spec link 1.2 b) There are opportunities for independent learning as students determine the structure of monosaccharides and practice drawing the reaction between common monosaccharides labelling the bond and type of reaction. I have included an exam question for practice.

Specification link: 1.5 know how triglycerides are synthesised and describe the difference between saturated and unsaturated lipids A complete lesson promoting independent learning. I have provided 2 videos that students watch and extract relevant information to complete a worksheet. I suggest it is printed on A3 paper. Teacher - student discussion over main points ensures an understanding of the topic. A quiz of exam questions with a time limit.

A revision session designed to recall information on biological molecules - Water, Carbohydrates and Triglycerides

A PPT complete lesson which focuses on specification link: 1.1 understand the importance of water as a solvent in transport, including its dipole nature The power point includes independent learning activities where students must find what a dipole molecule is. There is a boardworks slide to explain what a solvent is and students use this to form their notes. Please note, this is an interactive slide and you must have enabled macros on PPT and have update flash for it to work. The terms cohesion and adhesion are introduced. I have included a brief exam question which links directly to the spec link.

This series of 3 lessons covers: the terms magnification and resolution the differences between light and electron microscopes the importance of staining in microscopy; a series of practicals with instructions how to make plan drawings of specimens how to use a graticule. I have included different tasks, some individual and some group work. I have encouraged my students to study independently rather than give all of the information. There are also a series of exam questions to test understanding. These lessons provide support towards the core practical

A series of questions with the answers and a vocabulary sheet to support students prepare for the question 7 in Unit 5. The questions cover a series of topics to include blood; the heart and cardiac cycle; the nervous system; muscles and joints; vaccinations; pathogens; protein synthesis; CHD plus more. I have downloaded and included the Edexcel article as my students had difficulty obtaining it.

Edexcel Biology - specification refernce 5.17 and 5.18 2 powerpoint lessons investigating the Carbon Cycle and Carbon sinks. The second lesson investigates the causes of climate change including the issues of methane from farming.

In the heart of Victorian London, a mysterious wave of terror has swept through the fog-laden streets. The notorious Jack the Ripper has resurfaced, leaving a series of gruesome murders in his wake. You are a young policeman racing against time to uncover the identity of Jack the Ripper before he claims his next victim. **The story runs alongside tasks to test students’ knowledge and understanding of the transport of gases including: Red blood cells and haemoglobin The chloride shift Plasma and carbon dioxide Oxygen dissociation curve Bohr effect The escape room is interactive. Students can move objects and click on them to reveal clues. No handouts are required but scrap paper is useful as some clues need to be written down and rearranged. There are gentle hints at the top of each page but students should click around the whole room to move or reveal clues. It is important clues are solved as they are required to pass to the next page. The escape room is a great end-of-topic task to check student´s understanding in a novel way. **What is a digital escape room? Digital Escape rooms are an interactive activity which promote both individual learning and peer collaboration through problem solving. Each escape room has a range of activities to challenge the students whilst also covering the specification. This means they are an excellent resource to use as a revision tool. All of the activities are online, eliminating the need for printing materials. **How does the escape room work? Students will be given a link to access the digital escape room. You do not need to provide an email address or have a google account to access the material. Escape rooms can be completed on laptops, tablets and mobile phones, so they can be set as homework or used in cover lessons. **Starting the Task • Give students the link to the escape room (on next page) • Students can enjoy working through the challenges with a partner but they can be completed alone. • Students will need to look closely at the images. Some objects can be moved to reveal clues, other need to be clicked on. • There is a teacher answer sheet provided if you need to guide students.

The gods of Mount Olympus are in a frenzy as they discover that Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, has been mysteriously kidnapped on the eve of Valentine’s Day.
