GCSE AQA Biology - Drug testing story (thalidamide, drug testing & drug trials)
JAM2015JAM2015

GCSE AQA Biology - Drug testing story (thalidamide, drug testing & drug trials)

(0)
This power point was made for my double award/foundation students to try and explain as concisely as possible about drug testing procedures and why they are important. It starts by telling the story of thalidomide and then goes into why it led to better testing conditions, what they are and the procedures for human testing, using placebos and blind trials. Worksheets for consolidation. Hope it is helpful to other teachers.

AQA Trilogy Quantitative Chemistry
JAM2015JAM2015

AQA Trilogy Quantitative Chemistry

(0)
Covers the AQA Chemistry (Trilogy) specification for Quantitative chemistry. Concentrates on calculations. It includes practice slides throughout the presentation so that the students can practice each calculation as you go through each type. Covers: Ar / Mr / RFM / % mass of an element or compound / Number of moles / Conservation of mass and why the mass actually changes during some reactions / thermal decomposition / how to use moles to calculate mass / how to calculate Empirical formula / limiting reactions and how to calculate concentrations of solutions. After completing the presentation and trial questions there is a revision sheet. For higher groups I actually removed the examples and got them to make the revision card. For those struggling I gave the revision sheet as it is.

This is a 26 slide power point covering the New AQA specification for exams from 2018 onwards. It covers all of the 4.1 Cell Biology specification (4.1.1.1 to 4.1.1.5) I have covered eukaryotes, prokaryotes, animal cells, plant cells, specialised cells, cell differentiation, and microscopy. I have explained about magnification calculations and have covered all aspects of this stage of the specification. Label an animal and plant cell work sheet. Assessment sheet for cells. Hope it is beneficial to other teachers having to juggle 2 different specs for yr9/10 and the old spec for yr 11.
