This word search includes all of the key words from the KS3 lesson titled ‘organ systems’. A great starter activity for any lesson.

This resources guides a-level biologists through how enzymes speed up chemical reactions, inlcuding how their structure relates to their function and how the induced fit model has replaced the lock and key model for enzymes.

This bundle is aimed at introducing the new year 7 students into KS3 Science at the start of the academic year. I have broken this induction down into 3 lessons: Lesson 1 - Introductions Lesson 2 - Health & Safety Lesson 3 - Equipment Lesson 1 introduces the students to their new class teacher before showing them what topics they will be studying in Biology, Chemistry and Physics within the Exploring Science curriculum. The lessons then explores some simple classroom/lab rules before guiding students through how to set up their exercise book. Lesson 2 explores the idea of health and safety in the lab. The Do’s and Don’ts of learning in a science lab followed but a fun and engaging game of ‘Who Wants to Be A Millionaire’ - Science Lab Edition. Students are then introduced into hazard symbols before engaging in a Minion based lab safety poster task. Lesson 3 gets students learning the names of, handling and drawing a range of scientific lab equipment they will be using during their KS3 experience. These lessons are accompanied with booklet for students to complete during lesson 2 and 3. Enjoy.

This resource guides a-level biologists through how the products of the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis can be used to synthesise organic molecules in the light-independent reaction. The Calvin cycle is explored before discussing how the chloroplast is adapted to execute this cycle. Stretch, challenge and lateral thinking questions are embedded throughout alongside carefully selected visuals.

This resource guides a-level biologists carefully through the intricate process of the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis. The chemiosmotic theory of how ATP is synthesised in the thylakoid is explored by carefully explaining the importance of photolysis in this reaction. Understanding how this ends up with the products of oxygen, NADPH and ATP prepares students for the next stage of photosynthesis, the light-independent reaction. Stretch, challenge and lateral thinking questions are embedded throughout alongside carefully selected visuals.

This resource guides a-level biologists through the regulation of transcription and translation. Stretch, challenge and lateral thinking questions are embedded throughout. This is a resource been made to be picked up and used by any teacher.

This resource guides a-level biologists through cell specialisation and organisation including how the organelles cause a cell to become specialised and how these cells come together to form tissues, organs and organ systems. Stretch, challenge and lateral thinking questions are embedded throughout. This is a resource been made to be picked up and used by any teacher.

This resource guides a-level biologists through the structure of a Prokaryotic cell and how it compares to a Eukaryotic cell before exploring the basic components of a virus. Stretch, challenge and lateral thinking questions are embedded throughout. This is a resource been made to be picked up and used by any teacher.

This resource guides a-level biologists through the need for exchange surfaces in multicellular organisms and how they are adapted for this purpose. A worked example of calculating surface area to volume ratio is included to see how this changes as an organism increases in size. Stretch, challenge and lateral thinking questions are embedded throughout. This is a resource been made to be picked up and used by any teacher.

This resource guides a-level biologists through the mechanism of breathing including an in depth discussion about the processes of inspiration and expiration. The calculation of pulmonary ventilation is also discussed. Stretch, challenge and lateral thinking questions are embedded throughout alongside carefuly selected visuals

This resource guides a-level biologists through gas exchange of boney fish. The structure of the gills is explored whilst explaining how the counter-current flow system of gas exchange optimises the diffusion of oxygen. Stretch, challenge and lateral thinking questions are embedded throughout.

This resource guides a-level biologists through the nerve impulse including how a resting and action potential is established. Stretch, challenge and lateral thinking questions are embedded throughout. This is a resource been made to be picked up and used by any teacher. AQA Biology
