6 interactive activities to support WJEC Biology 1, that can be used on a whiteboard with a whole class, or for individual study/revision. Topics include: * competition/adaptation, * inheritance * temperature regulation * natural selection.

Learn the composition of a healthy balanced diet and why each component is required to keep the body healthy.

The Flipcharts included in this activity deal with DNA, genes, Mendel and genetic problems, cystic fibrosis, deciding the sex, genetic engineering and variation.

Looking at the ethics and opinions associated with this topic using presentations, worksheets with additional resources and materials

A series of resources including video, animation and whiteboard materials that address the skills, knowledge and understanding of how science works within the GCSE specifications. The resources discuss the advantages and drawbacks of intensive farming methods, such as using fertilisers, pesticides, disease control and battery methods to increase yields.

A series of resources including video, animation and whiteboard materials that address the skills, knowledge within the GCSE specifications. This unit helps pupils to understand that at each stage in the food chain energy is lost in waste materials, in repair and maintenance of cells and as heat during respiration. The activities include interpreting the effects of eating from different trophic levels in a food chain and comparisons of vegetarian and meat diets and eating from different trophic levels.

The main components of the cell. Living things / the interdependence of organisms

These units provide materials that support the progression of skills development (Reflecting, Communicating, Planning and Developing) through science enquiry to answer big questions from early KS2 to the highest levels of KS3. Each enquiry is structured in such a way as to include a learner section, a teachers’ notes section and an outcomes section

This PowerPoint relates to the Properties of Water section of the BY1 specification. Students learn about the: Importance of water in terms of its polarity, ability to form hydrogen bonds, surface tension, as a solvent, thermal properties, as a metabolite.

To reinforce the role of the circulatory and digestive system.

A series of resources including video, animation and whiteboard materials that address the skills, knowledge and understanding of how science works within the GCSE specifications. Using data from data from ICT and food labelling pupils are encouraged to explore and discuss energy and additives in highly processed and less processed foods, and the implications, particularly for health.

A series of resources including video, animation and whiteboard materials that address the skills, knowledge and understanding of how science works within the GCSE specifications. The unit looks at articles and evidence that relates overhead power cables and national grid pylons to increased cancer rates. Pupils form a group opinion on the advantages and disadvantages of the national grid and use the evidence supplied to support or reject the idea that there is a link between overhead pylons and an increased cancer rate.

Interactive whiteborad activities. Looking at food chains & webs and the relationships between producers, consumers and decomposers.

This PowerPoint relates to the Plasma Membranes section of the BY1 specification. Students learn about the: (a) Principal components of the plasma membrane and the fluid mosaic model. Factors affecting permeability of the membrane. (b) Transport mechanisms: diffusion and factors affecting the rate of diffusion, osmosis and water potential, pinocytosis, facilitated diffusion, phagocytosis, secretion (exocytosis), active transport and influence of cyanide.

This interactive whitboard lesson explains the principles of genetics and genetic crosses.

Describes the digestive system and explains how we digest our food.

A series of resources including video, animation and whiteboard materials that address the skills, knowledge and understanding of how science works within the GCSE specifications. The unit requires pupils to explore information about the causes of the destruction of habitat and reduced biodiversity including the effects of pollution on the river environment. Examples show how invertebrates can be used to determine pollution levels and how the levels of nitrate/oxygen in water samples can affect organisms.

Experiment in identifing what factors and conditions are required for photosynthesis and how its rates can be changed.
