This fun and informative COMPLETE LESSON covers all content from AQA specification content on ‘aerobic respiration’. Includes: 1 x PowerPoint and Word document worksheet Using a detailed and engaging PowerPoint the students work their way through the content with a range of whole class quizzes, paired and individual activities. The range of challenges encourage students to learn new key words, practise their ability to balance an equation and recall chemical formula. The lesson structure challenges students to apply their new knowledge to exam style questions whilst also giving them expert exam tips. Included in the PowerPoint & worksheet are the following activities: Recall the structure of an animal cell. Recall the function of cell organelles. Discover the meaning of aerobic. Describe the respiration equation (and where the reactants come from) includes a section on balancing equations. State that respiration is exothermic. Describe why organisms need to respire. Summary task using differentiated questions to apply learning and enable the teacher to check on progress (least to most challenge). Final activity further application of lesson & linking to prior units.

Updated to include fully editable final slide! This revision/plenary resource covers the complete specification for AQA Combined Science – Trilogy unit 4.3 Infection & response (Biology only content add-on available separately). The PowerPoint contains an intricate mindmap that encourages students to develop links within this topic; which teaches about communicable disease, pathogens, defense systems, vaccination, and drug discovery & development; helping them to gain a greater depth of understanding of the unit.

Required practical - Investigate the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis using an aquatic organism such as pondweed. Available in a bundle as a complete unit of work. AQA specification 4.4.1.2 Rate of photosynthesis. Complete lesson ready to use just download, print and go! Designed for teachers to deliver (specialist and non-specialists) but I have found more & more students need to access resources independently so my lessons are structured in a way that students can navigate for remote learning or to catch up on missed content. Can also be used for a flipped learning approach. Includes: Easy-to-follow PowerPoint: • all answers to each fun activity are present on the PowerPoint. • helpful notes present on some slides to support non-specialists or first-time teachers of this topic. • Differentiated resources - alternate versions of task 2 available to support lower ability students. Worksheets on Word: • Each of the three worksheets allow students to develop their understanding of photosynthesis and skills associated with practical & maths work in Biology. • All answers are given on the PowerPoint. This lesson specifically teaches/recaps the following ‘Key opportunities for skills development’ taken from the AQA specification. WS 2.2 – plan experiments to test hypotheses. WS 2.5 – recognise that multiple samples will be needed at each light intensity. WS 3.1 – present a graph of light intensity against rate of photosynthesis. WS 3.2 – translate numeric data into graphical form. MS 1a, 1c – measure and understand the rate of photosynthesis reactions. MS 4a, 4c – plot and draw appropriate graphs of rate of photosynthesis against light intensity selecting appropriate scale for axes. This lesson is not supposed to be a replacement for the required practical but works equally well hand in hand with it as a follow up or could be used in conjunction with one of the recorded demonstrations available on YouTube in order for you to be able to cover all the necessary content with your students. A key theme to all my lessons is to encourage students to practise essential exam skills with many helpful tips scattered through each unit of work. Check out the final lesson in this unit for higher tier students – Inverse square law. MS 3a, 3d (HT) – understand and use inverse proportion: the inverse square law and light intensity in the context of photosynthesis.
