This PowerPoint presentation brings together all the learning outcomes of Biochemistry units in the BY1 specification for the Biology and Human Biology AS courses. The relevant section of the Teacher’s Guidance material follows, together with some explanatory notes.

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.

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 PowerPoint relates to the Inhibitors section of the BY1 specification. Students learn about the: Principles of competitive and non competitive inhibition (references to reversible and irreversible action not required).

This PowerPoint relates to the Immobilised Enzymes section of the BY1 specification. Students learn about the: Determination of water potential by measuring changes in mass, and solute potential by measuring the degree of incipient plasmolysis. The permeability of cell membranes using beetroot.

This PowerPoint relates to the Cell Membranes and Transport section of the BY1 specification. Students learn about the: Principal components of the plasma membrane and the fluid mosaic model. Factors affecting permeability of the membrane.

This is a series of PowerPoint presentations, produced for students to aid their understanding of topics encountered throughout the biochemistry component of the AS Biology course. It is also a useful revision tool for student when used with the guidance notes. (WJEC)

An investigation of Llanrwst allowing the children to compare the town with their own locality.

A resource that teaches children positional language.

This resource pack is designed to illustrate the passing of time and highlight significant events, discoveries and inventions of the past. It is designed to demonstrate how technology has made huge progress in the last 100 years and demonstrate how many of today’s technologies are a result of the past. This resource pack is specifically designed to be a visual stimulus to promote discussion and thought about the passing of time.

These interactive History resources have been developed from document-based resources on CD available from Cardiff Castle. (Contact Education Officer: Elizabeth Stevens 029 2087 8110) It is assumed that these activities will be used in conjunction with a visit to Cardiff Castle but they could be also be used on their own to support work in your school. The topic is split into four areas; The Arab Room Floor; Servants; The Bute Dowry and Armour through Ages with an interactive introduction to each lesson. The lessons can be viewed on an interactive white board or a standalone computer.

This resource pack introduces pupils to different kinds of transport including motor cars and aeroplanes.

This resource looks at ships through the ages and how different periods travelled. This covers ships and boats from Celtic crafts to nuclear submarines.

Looking at the processes involved in creating a 3D fantasy creature. From creating a ‘spider’ diagram with a mix of words and pictures to drawing and creating a unique creature. This resource has been broken down into 12 stages and is presented as a number of powerpoints and, for the larger presentations,

Develop a design proposal by recording and presenting development work up to and including a performance spec.

This lesson describes production scales such as one-off production, batch production, mass production and continuous production.

The aim of the lesson is to introduce students to a variety of different materials. Students will examine a number of common hardwoods, softwoods, manufactured boards, plastics, metals and compliant materials such as card.

These activities have been made to support all areas of the curriculum from Early Years to Year 6. The activities can stand alone or used as part of an introduction or plenary session. Each activity has teacher guidance notes attached.
