Here’s a simple powerpoint for yr 7 or 8 pupils to learn about the difference between a food chain and a food web.
I’ve used this resource for a 50 minute lesson.
Learning objectives:
Describe what food chains show
Describe what food webs show
Pupils learn about how light intensity, temperature, wind speed, and humidity affect the rate of transpiration. At the end, there’s a creative writing exercise.
Below are the main learning objectives for this bundle. They are suitable for either KS3 or Year 9 pupils as an introduction to GCSE science. Each powerpoint presentation comes with an editable word document handout. Enjoy!
Introduction to GCSE science (physics)

Variables
Recall the different types of variables in experimental physics.
Graphical skills
Develop skills in representing scientific data graphically.
Cone parachute practical
Carry out an experiment to gather, record, and analyze data accurately.
Section 5: Standard form and significant figures
Recognize and use expressions in standard form.
Ratios, fractions, and percentages
Use ratios, fractions, and percentages in calculations.
Rearrange equations and converting units
Able to change the subject of an equation.
Familiarize with using prefixes and conversion between units.
Pupils learn about how light intensity, temperature, wind speed, and humidity affect the rate of transpiration. At the end, there's a creative writing exercise.

Here's the structure of the lesson covered in this resource.
1. Transport system
2. Circulatory system
3. Blood vessels
4. Single circulatory system
5. Pulse rate activity
6. Summary questions
The resource covers theory, contains short tasks, and provide visual prompts for class discussions. The content is sufficient for higher ability pupils. There is an optional activity where pupils can measure and record their own pulse rates.

This resource explains how the exchange and transport system of animals are dependent on their surface area to volume ratio.
It contains 7 short tasks for pupils.
It has sufficient content for higher ability sets.
Here's a resource for a complete lesson to teach ks4 GCSE biology topic Osmosis.
The 13 slides cover theory, contains tasks, and provide prompts for class discussions.
I've included some presenter's notes under some slides. Answers to questions are included in the slides. They are clickable animations (appear upon clicking).
