This revision resource is designed for OCR A-level Biology but is equally suitable for other boards. This resource contains: a worksheet for the topic on Transport in Animals: Tissue fluid, Lymph and Exchange at the capillaries model answers for the worksheet information card exam questions mark scheme. This resource is easily differentiated by students choosing to use the information card or completing the worksheet independently. The model answer sheet/key is included for either peer/self assessment. Students that finish early can be looking to extend their understanding by completing the exam questions with mark schemes. The worksheet and information slides are very detailed therefore it is recommended that they be printed in A3 for use. I have included pdf versions in addition to the powerpoint files as powerpoint, opened in different versions, can cause some formatting issues. The powerpoint files are there so that you can edit the resources, if you wish to do so. Topics include: Arterioles and venules; The Formation of Tissue Fluid; The Formation of Lymph; The lymphatic system; Reabsorption of tissue fluid. Other individual worksheets and exam questions are available to complete this series of lessons on Mass Transport. There is also a Bundle that includes all 5 worksheets with corresponding information sheets and exam questions. Please leave a review if you find my resources helpful. Leave three reviews and I will send you a fourth resource of similar value free via email. If you have any issues please contact me at MEstEstEst@gmail.com Thank you.

This resource provides you with two lessons of material to enable your students to achieve the following learning objectives: Recall the different types of pathogen that can cause communicable diseases in animals (Grade C) Describe the means of transmission of animal- and plant-communicable pathogens (Grade B) Discuss the factors that affect transmission (Grade A) The material in the PowerPoint presentation and the accompanying resources is written for the OCR specification Biology A course. There are many different activities including a quiz; creating pathogen profile cards; card sort to link the pathogen, disease and symptoms; matching photos of social scenes with disease; a worksheet on the transmission of malaria (including mark scheme); name that pathogen plenary task; homework suggestions; extension tasks and exam questions.

This PowerPoint contains all the activities (in one file) to achieve the following learning objectives: 1) Describe how plants exchange gases 2) Describe the structure of a dicotyledonous plant leaf 3) Explain the adaptations of leaves for efficient gas exchange There are a range of different tasks including, labelling the cross section of a leaf, ordering task of steps involved in stomata opening, sorting statements for function and adaptation of different features in the leaf and practise exam questions. All questions and answers for each task are fully integrated into the PowerPoint and can be used for self/peer assessment of tasks.

This resource is designed for the AQA exam board. This set of summary activities on photosynthesis will help students to understand the major concepts involved in photosynthesis. The activities include gap fills with word banks to focus on vocabulary; selecting statements to complete a table summarising photosystems (PSI and PSII); two different ordering activities to describe the steps involved in both the light-dependent and light-independent (Calvin cycle) stages of photosynthesis. The tasks break down what can often feel like a very complex topic in a way that scaffolds the content for the learner. Particular attention is paid to the selection of diagrams and illustrations used to help support the learner in completing each activity. This resource could be used as a self-study activity to be set as a homework for consolidation of the topic or it could be used as a revision task to complete in a lesson. The resource comes complete with a mark scheme for peer or self-assessment by the students. Both .pdf and word.doc versions are included for easy printing and editing as required.

This is an entire lesson series for Patterns of Inheritance for the NEW OCR A-level specification which has vast overlap with the AQA spec. There are a total of 151 PowerPoint presentation slides partitioned into individual lessons with identifiable lesson objectives. The scheme of work has been developed to engage your students through learning activities and will form the basis for the entire topic of Patterns of Inheritance. It includes accurate and high quality information slides interspersed with pupil activities for the following sub-topics within the chapter on Patterns of Inheritance: 1) Variation: intraspecific and interspecific; the affects of genes and environment on phenotype 2) Causes of Genetic Variation: crossing over; independent assortment; random segregation 3) Monhybrid Inheritance: incomplete dominance; codominance 4) Dihybrid Inheritance: autosomal linkage; sex-linked; hemizygosity 5) Multiple alleles and Epistasis 6) The Chi-squared test 7) Factors affecting the evolution of a species (stabilising & directional selection), Genetic drift, Bottlenecks and the Founder Effect 8) The Hardy-Weinberg Principle 9) Isolating mechanisms in forming new species including artificial selection
