PowerPoint on carbohydrates for AQA A Level Biology - Unit 1 - Biological Molecules

PowerPoint presentation on species, courtship behaviour and classification - used for AQA A Level Biology (2 hour lesson) but could be easily adapted. Topic 3.4.5 Specification points covered: Two organisms belong to the same species if they are able to produce fertile offspring. Courtship behaviour as a necessary precursor to successful mating. The role of courtship in species recognition. A phylogenetic classification system attempts to arrange species into groups based on their evolutionary origins and relationships. It uses a hierarchy in which smaller groups are placed within larger groups, with no overlap between groups. Each group is called a taxon (plural taxa). One hierarchy comprises the taxa: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species. Each species is universally identified by a binomial consisting of the name of its genus and species, eg, Homo sapiens.

Whole lesson about binary fission using the learning loop approach. Created for AQA GCSE Biology, but could be adapted. Feel free to feedback if you use this resource :)

Get hands on with science at home! Make your own lava lamp using resources you most likely already have at home, or you can easily purchase from a supermarket. A fun activity that most primary and secondary students can engage with (ideally suited to KS2/KS3). Includes a list of resources, easy to follow method, scientific description of how it works, things to think about and questions to answer. Please comment if you have any questions or feedback.

Complete PowerPoint presentation for a 2 hour lesson on biodiversity within communities for AQA A Level Biology. Includes calculating the index of diversity, impact of agriculture on biodiversity and conservation techniques. New content slides and accompanying activities in the ‘learning loop’ format. Covers specification points: Biodiversity can relate to a range of habitats, from a small local habitat to the Earth. Species richness is a measure of the number of different species in a community. An index of diversity describes the relationship between the number of species in a community and the number of individuals in each species. Calculation of an index of diversity (d) from the formula d = N (N − 1) /n (n − 1) where N = total number of organisms of all species and n = total number of organisms of each species. Farming techniques reduce biodiversity. The balance between conservation and farming.

Lesson on proteins for AQA A Level Biology. Some slides taken from other free PowerPoints available on TES - thank you for sharing! Covering: Amino acids are the monomers from which proteins are made. The general structure of an amino acid. The twenty amino acids that are common in all organisms differ only in their side group. A condensation reaction between two amino acids forms a peptide bond. • Dipeptides are formed by the condensation of two amino acids. • Polypeptides are formed by the condensation of many amino acids. A functional protein may contain one or more polypeptides. The role of hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds and disulfide bridges in the structure of proteins. Proteins have a variety of functions within all living organisms. The relationship between primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure, and protein function. The biuret test for proteins.

AQA required practical 12: Investigation into the effect of a named environmental factor on the distribution of a given species. Template and accompanying PowerPoint presentation for students to plan and write up their investigation for practical 12. Designed to be conducted over a 2 hour session with an onsight investigation. Exam questions included have been taken from https://www.tes.com/member/m_adanah who also provides a free template for this practical and many others. Specification points covered: The size of a population can be estimated using: • randomly placed quadrats, or quadrats along a belt transect, for slow-moving or non-motile organisms • the mark-release-recapture method for motile organisms. The assumptions made when using the mark-release-recapture method Students could: • investigate the distribution of organisms in a named habitat using randomly placed frame quadrats, or a belt transect • use both percentage cover and frequency as measures of abundance of a sessile species. Students could use the mark-release-recapture method to investigate the abundance of a motile species.

Worksheet for balancing chemical equations. Used as a starter after a lesson on balancing equations. Pupils balance the equations using m&m's- they place the sweets in the blue boxes beneath the equations to visually represent each atom. Used about 3 share bags of m&m's with a class working in pairs. Delivered to a year 8 class but suitable for KS4 too.

A complete lesson about plant and animal cells for AQA B1. Powerpoint Presentation with a series of activities and resources to print.

Get hands on with science at home! Make your own skittle rainbow using resources you most likely already have at home, or you can easily purchase from a supermarket. A fun activity that most primary and secondary students can engage with (ideally suited to KS2/KS3). Includes a list of resources, easy to follow method, scientific description of how it works, things to think about and questions to answer. Please comment if you have any questions or feedback.

A science placemat to print in A3 and laminate. Stick a few down on tables or around the edge of the room so pupils can use them as a self-help resource. Includes naming common equipment, units, drawing graphs, designing experiment and other core skills for science at KS3/4. Placemat is in Word format so feel free to edit it in any way you wish to suit your classes needs. NOTE: check format before printing- format may be skewed if opening in different versions of word so check before printing, you may have to rearrange things slightly.

A collection of extracurricular competitions, books and events for A-level biology students. These opportunities could all be used to enhance students UCAS personal statements and explore their passion for biology outside of the classroom. Available as a powerpoint and pdf to share with students. Feel free to comment anything you think should be added!
