This lesson is designed to follow a lesson on the homeostatic control of blood glucose concentration. The lesson explores type I and type II diabetes for AQA A level biology. Exam Qs are included but one worksheet referenced is on Kerboodle so cannot be shared. The end of the lesson introduces RP11.
Specification points:
The causes of types I and II diabetes and their control by insulin and/or manipulation of the diet.
Students should be able to evaluate the positions of health advisers and the food industry in relation to the increased incidence of type II diabetes.
Required practical 11: Production of a dilution series of a glucose solution and use of colorimetric techniques to produce a calibration curve with which to identify the concentration of glucose in an unknown ‘urine’ sample.
Complete lesson covering the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for AQA A level Biology, unit 8: The principles of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as an in vitro method to amplify DNA fragments. Lesson assumes students have already covered in vivo methods (only relevant for final activity).
Everything is included in the PowerPoint including all activities and questions to consolidate understanding. No need to print!
Whole lesson for AQA GCSE Chemistry/Combined Science on the evolution of the atmosphere.
Includes a PowerPoint presentation with all the information, starter activity, timeline activity, past exam questions with answers and a plenary activity. You may wish to print the slides for the timeline, which can be completed as a scavenger hunt style activity.
5.9.1 The composition and evolution of the Earth’s atmosphere
I created this broadsheet for students to revise the relevant areas of topic 1, cell biology (just the parts specified as making up the majority of exam content) - AQA 2022 Trilogy Higher
It covers 4.1.2 Cell division - it covers the cell cycle, mitosis and stem cells.
It can be used alongside BBC Bitesize revision pages if students have access to devices.
