Key words carbohydrate ~ glycosidic bond ~ condensation ~ hydrolysis ~ glycerol ~ triglyceride ~ lipid ~ fatty acid ~ ester bond ~ sugar ~ phospholipid ~ monosaccharide ~ disaccharide ~ Benedict’s test ~ saturated ~ unsaturated ~ hydrophilic ~ hydrophobic

A very basic worksheet on resistance. Made because my group struggled with worksheets that packed a lot in! It concentrates on V = IR but checks that they remember voltage and current in a parallel circuit. It covers ‘the triangle’, units and uses the term ‘potential difference’.

Worksheet asks students to label and colour in the stages of oxidative phosphorylation / electron transfer chain (1 page). Accompanied by an interactive powerpoint with clear diagrams which can be used on a smartboard to show students what they should have coloured in (11 slides) Key words Oxidative phosphorylation, Electron transfer chain, Cristae, Mitochondrion, Mitochondria

Students edit the Word document to show the stages of glycolysis (oxidation, phosphorylation etc). The molecules are all drawn for them (hexose, glucose, phosphates); they need to copy and put them in the right places. 1 page, accompanied by an answer sheet. Written for A-level students. Works well on VLE as homework but I tend to use it where I can watch what their misconceptions are and deal with them. (‘ctrl d’ doubles an object, which is useful).

My lower ability GCSE students struggled distinguishing between genes ‘being’ the protein and genes ‘coding’ for the protein. The language was a barrier - weird, abstract words. This sheet uses a recipe-cake / gene-protein analogy with a bit of colour coding. The students enjoyed it and understood it. (I pointed out that medical students use colouring in to learn anatomy).
