This resources covers the CIE iGCSE Biology (0970) course for Topic 3 about movement into and out of cells. You can use for Extended students but the power point could be used with Core students if edited. It includes an extensive power point which not only covers the theory (diffusion, osmosis & active transport) but also include the practicals linked to this part of the course.The osmosis practical is done in depth with links to calculations and graph work. On top of the power point there are a number of worksheets to aid the lessons which can help with activities to help with consolidation.
This is a 16 slide power point following the specification for AS AQA Biology , but would also suit OCR specification.
It includes eukaryote and prokaryote cells, differences between them, binary fission, uses of microscopes (both light and electron), changing units, magnification and resolution and finishes with cell fractionation.
The last slide leads into the next stage of the syllabus which is different organelles. I have produced a different power point for that to include movement across the membranes as well. Please view if you like this one.

This is an 18 slide power point which covers all of the new syllabus for AQA AS Biology this year and will also for the OCR AS biology syllabus.
The power point includes what carbohydrates are, monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides, condensation & hydrolysis reactions, Benedicts testing of reducing and non-reducing sugars, cellulose structure and function, glycogen structure and function and finishing with starch structure and function.
Easy to follow scientific terminology and colourful diagrams.

This is a 7 slide power point covering the syllabus for the New AQA AS Biology course. it would also be helpful to those studying OCR AS Biology syllabus.
The slides include easy to read text, diagrams and pictures to help students understand all of the aspects required for ATP, ADP + Pi, and inorganic ions.
I have up loaded this for my students on the school system so they can use it for revision purposes. I have also used it as a starter with respect to teaching ATP.

This power point was made specifically for my Foundation & GCSE Double Award students and only covers that strand of the specification.
It is colourful, has pictures and easy to follow key points. An excellent class resource to show the class and for them to make appropriate notes in their exercise books.
A worksheet which can be used as a plenary sheet or to set as a homework.

This resource is for anyone teaching AS Biology Molecular molecules , specifically Lipids.
You get 2 resources for the price of one.
The power point shows the structure and function of lipids, including phospholipids, cholesterol and triglycerides, unsaturated and saturated fatty acids and functions of lipids.
Also, there is a second word document with easy to follow diagrams and notes which could be used as a class set, resource tool or a hand out for struggling students.
This power point is a nice introduction to the OCR Gateway Drugs unit about the effects of smoking on the body.
It shows the carcinogens found in cigarettes and how they affect the body.
Gruesome pictures will make the students think about the problems - beware squeamish students.
This is a 10 slide power point covering the basics about cloning and cloning methods. I have used it as a starting point with high ability groups and as a class presentation for foundation students.
It covers: asexual reproduction, mitosis, plant cloning, animal cloning, dolly the sheep, advantages and disadvantages of different types of cloning. and finishes asking class to discuss the ethics of human cloning.

This is a 9 slide power point on Respiration.
I use this with my Foundation & GCSE Double award class as a class presentation and as a starter for my Triple Group. With Triple groups you will only need to include the chemical equation for respiration and go into more detail with respect to ATP, which is not required for double award.
It includes aerobic and anaerobic respiration, differences between the two, the word equations, release of energy (ATP), oxygen debt and RQ quotient.

This is a 9 slide presentation for AS Biology on the differences between DNA and RNA, links needed for protein synthesis (transcription & translation) and finishing with DNA replication. and the experiments using N15.
I made this for an overview for my students studying OCR AS Biology syllabus, but would be helpful for AQA.

This is a power point explaining all of the key terms related to ecosystems with exam terminology and great pictures and diagrams. I uploaded this onto my school system as a homework to test students on all of the key terms and what they mean. I have also used a plenary to lessons and as revision at the end of the unit.
Also, found this really helpful with GCSE foundation/SEN groups; as the term are easily read and the pictures are bright and eye catching.
The work sheet has every key word written and students just fill in the definitions. They can then stick the sheet in the front of their books.
The second worksheet is for a class activity, or a home work and sets students tasks to complete on ecosystems, predator - prey relationships, etc.
The following terms are stated: classification (artificial and natural), evolutionary trees, binomial system (genus & species), habitat, ecosystem, producer, consumer, pyramid of numbers, biomass , predator, prey, equation foe energy transfer in food chains, energy loss through food chains, parasites, mutualism, interspecific and intraspecific relationships, adaptations (specialists, generalists, extremophiles, anatomical and behavioural adaptations).
GCSE Biology farming power point specifically aimed at foundation students.
Easy to read and understand text, colourful diagrams and pictures to cover all aspects of the farming part of the syllabus.
