I've been teaching A-level biology for years and have spent several hours developing resources to the highest possible standard. They are designed to maximise class time - spending less time on learning facts, with a focus on application and the processing of information.

Control of the oestrous cycle & feedback in females

Control of the oestrous cycle & feedback in females

(0)
PowerPoint and activity introducing 'The principles of feedback mechanisms' and ' Control of the oestrous cycle'. Students often find this especially challenging and it took me a while to come up with an effective lesson that helped students remember the interaction between the hormones involved in the control of the oestrous cycle. This resource takes about 2.5-3 hours to work through, but some of the activities can be done independently. The PPT begins introducing positive and negative feedback, with a few examples of milk let down and birth. Then, there is a card sort activity, which is supported with matching the cards with various sections on the graphs. There's a few exam questions and an application activity about 'The oestrous cycle in pigs' near the end. This resource also comes with a fully editable version of the accompanying student notes, which contains another application type activity and a selection of past examination (AQA) questions & marks scheme.

PPT for lessons on cell organelles. This can be a bit of a dull lesson to deliver, as there's so much factual content to cover. So in here you'll find a variety of inventive methods to cover the structure and function of the organelles, a video clip to introduce the fateful encounter hypothesis, other video clips to help stimulate student interest, an application activity on protein synthesis and a few other bits n pieces that begin to draw on students' prior knowledge of year 1 biology. It will probably take about 2 hours to deliver this material if the class is participating through the problem solving activities.
