Are you looking for some fun practicals to do with your Year 7 and Year 8 science classes? This set of ten KS3 biology practicals will keep them entertained for weeks! Some of the practicals are more suited to a bottom set and others require the students to design their own investigation before carrying it out. The diffusion practical (among others) can be extended to GCSE students by simply introducing surface area:volume calculations/rates of diffusion estimations. All practicals have a place within the KS3 biology curriculum and will support student learning going into the GCSE biology science courses. Most practicals require easily accessible equipment that is not outside of the normal requisition list that you might give your science technicians. Phenolphthalein, cambomba (or elodea) and woodlice are probably the most exotic of materials to source and will have to be ordered in advance. Collection of some materials (e.g. plastic bottles to make spirometers) can be outsourced to your students who I am sure wouldn’t mind bringing in their own from home! Have fun with it!

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 resource has been created for the NEW OCR A-level biology specification but has much overlap with the AQA specification. The PowerPoint contains 22 high quality slides that alternate between teacher-led information slides and student-focused activities. There are options for making the content more student-led by printing the information slides for students to read and discuss in pairs and then attempt the activity that follows. I have provided the activities in separate files for those of you who prefer to print these from .pdf files. Every activity has a mark scheme integrated into the PowerPoint (and incorporated into the pdf) so that students can easily peer or self-assess. The content may take up to two lessons to deliver and should follow the Need for Transport Systems in Animals and the different types of circulatory systems (open vs closed, single vs double). The following topics are covered within this resource: Blood vessels: arteries, arterioles, veins, venules - structure and function The composition and role of blood, plasma, tissue fluid and lymph Capillary permeability and the formation of tissue fluid The lymphatic system and formation of lymph Hydrostatic and oncotic pressures This lesson should then be followed by The Structure of The Heart. Your feedback is very much appreciated.

This resource contains all the material you need to deliver the following two lessons: 5.1 Animal defences against disease (primary non-specific defence) 5.2 Phagocytosis (secondary non-specific defence) Provided is a variety of activities, designed for either the OCR or AQA A-level specifications, to achieve the following learning objectives: Recall the main defence mechanisms of the body (Grade C) Describe how neutrophils phagocytose pathogens (Grade B) Evaluate how antigenic variation affects the body’s response to infection (Grade A) All the answers/mark shemes are integrated within the PowerPoint but in addition I have provided some of the activities (and mark schemes) as separate files for ease of printing if you prefer to print from .pdf files rather than .ppt files. I am sure it will save you loads of time (because it took me a crazy amount of time to create it) and I welcome your feedback on this resource!
