Permanent slide preparation - an overview with plenary of a practical biology skill that histopathology labs perform in order to examine tissue for disease. Useful for careers / to provide an idea of lab work that a biomedical student would encounter.

A forensic biology presentation that focuses on the value of botanical evidence. Botany and the study of diatoms is covered here. Also a final slide on the role of pathologist. Useful for teachers delivering more bespoke forensic science content and for those teaching the L3 BTEC in Forensic & Criminal Investigation.

28 question quiz with answers to check on understanding at the end of genetics topics. Questions on nucleic acids; protein synthesis; chromosomes; cell division; mutations; Mendel’s laws; heredity terms. Pitched at level 3, A level Biology & L3 Applied Science Genetics (Unit 11) students.

Covers an array of forensic biology evidence types and their value. Provides good advice for best practice for any budding CSI or Forensic Analyst! Pitched at Level 3 and beyond, will help teachers delivering the L3 BTEC in Forensic Science and the Forensic & Criminal Investigation.

A Forensic Biology topic, placing focus on the role of the forensic pathologist and the questions that will need resolving when examining a body. Pitched at Level 3 and beyond, will help teachers of Forensics and those delivering the L3 BTEC in Forensic & Criminal Investigation.

Presentation & worksheet suitable for 16 years and above (penultimate slide includes more intimate methods of DNA collection). Focus is placed on equipment and processes to collect forensic biological evidence rather than methods of analysis. Suited for biology, forensic science students. Particularly of value to those studying Unit 4 within Level 3 Forensic & Criminal Investigation BTEC. Several internet clips are embedded within, instruct students to make notes on these.

Delves further into forensics at level 3 and beyond. Links to Forensic Biology, value of evidence, fascinating Natural History facts on flies and beetles and will help teachers of the 2016 BTEC in Forensic and Criminal Investigation in their teaching of Environmental Forensics.

A detailed presentation on forensic toxicology using well known examples from the news/media. Focus is on the value of samples and analytical chemical techniques involved such as immunoassay and GCMS. Includes calculations that the toxicologist would perform, so a clear link between STEM & forensics. Would be useful for AS/A2 chemistry students so that they might gain awareness of analytical applications to the ‘real world’. Will be useful to a teacher delivering forensic material to L3 and higher.

Presentation with activities on all matters that relate to accuracy of measurements. Explanations of errors, tolerance, calibration & drift, uncertainty, accuracy & precision. Included is a practical whereby students determine volume from mass and density data. Density data table included from literature. Also, for consolidation, is a crossword I’ve made on this topic. Essential learning for new sixth formers embarking on science subjects and practical work, also for higher level Year 11 science pupils.

A complete lesson includes a presentation on different microscopy techniques e.g. SEM, TEM, light microscopy, oil immersion, phase contrast. Also an example driven guide that explains how to calibrate an eyepiece graticule with a stage micrometer and make measurements.

Set of powerpoints. Explanation of the lymphatic system; tissues/organs linked to defence; role of B & T cells, nodes, antibodies; 2 diseases affecting the lymphatic system: Hodgkin Lymphoma & Lymphatic Filariasis; treatment regimens for both diseases (cancer and parasitic infection).
