Practical and interactive activities to achieve the following learning objectives: State the limiting factors of photosynthesis Identify correlations in data Analyse and interpret data

Worksheets for either learning new content or consolidating understanding on the topics of The Brain and The Eye. Answer sheets provided. Simple wording is used for lower ability students to easily access information. The worksheets can be used to provide students with a summary of the information they need to know without students having to write too much - good for lower ability groups. They also help to revise the topics of The Brain and The Eye covering the structure of both organs, the function of each part of the organ, how accommodation works to change the shape of the lens to focus on near or far objects.

This resource is a free sample to give you an idea of the quality of my teaching resources. The resource contains 17 PowerPoint slides that alternate between student activity and teacher delivery which creates a whole lesson that is student focused. There are a variety of activities all included in the PowerPoint and it all easily exists in one file but in case you prefer printing activities from separate files I have included them as individual pdfs. The PowerPoint has all the answers/mark schemes imbedded within, allowing pupils (and teachers!) to easily refer to the answers for either peer or self-assessment. The resource is applicable to both the AQA and OCR exam boards for AS level biology. The resource will enable students to achieve the following learning objectives: Recall the role of haemoglobin in transporting oxygen & carbon dioxide Describe the changes in the dissociation curve at different carbon dioxide concentrations Explain the effect that an increasing concentration of carbon dioxide has on haemoglobin (Bohr effect) I hope you get some use out of it.
