A complete lesson covering section 6.1.2 d-f of the OCR Biology A specification- the factors affecting gene frequency and evolution and the Hardy Weinberg equations. The lesson covers stabillsing and disrupting selection, the founder effect, genetic drift and genetic bottle necks. It then goes on to look at the Hardy Weinberg equations and the conditions required for them to true, The lesson includes lots of independent tasks and exam questions All answers provided I am to reduce photocopying so all resources are in the PPT- 38 slides in total

A complete lesson revision module C8- chemical analysis from the AQA Trilogy combined course It covers chromatography, formulations and the gas tests via a series of retrieval activities as well as lots of exam practice. Includes the chromatography required practical. Some slides are animated with triggers to make the animation work- simply clock the boxes when showing the PPT and they will disappear All resources are in the PPT and all answers included

A complete revision lesson covering section 6.5.1-3 of the AQA trilogy course- forces. It covers forces and their interactions, work done and energy transfer and elasticity. The lesson includes a variety of student led activities, retrieval practice and exam questions All answers provided

A complete lesson covering section 5.1.1 b and c of the OCR Biology specification- how gene linkage and epistasis can affect the phenotypic ratios and how this can be investigated using Chi square. The lesson starts by introducing sex linkage and then includes some examples of genetic crosses involving colour blindness. It then looks at autosomal linkage again using example crosses to support. The lesson the goes on to look at both recessive and dominant epistasis again using lots of examples to support understanding. The lesson closes by introducing the Chi square test As well as the examples the lesson includes lots of exam questions to show how the skills could be assessed I aim to reduce photocopying so all resources are in the PPT (62 slides in total)

A complete lesson revising the two required practicals in AQA Biology paper 2- sampling and reactions rates. The lesson starts with a reminder of some key terms before reminding students of biotic and abiotic factors and the events that make up a reflex response, The lesson then move son to the two required practicals covering them with a mix of worked examples. exam questions and mathematic practice All answers included

A complete lesson covering section 6.2.5c of the OCR specification - testing for functional groups and PAG7.3 The lesson starts with reminders of the tests for the main functional groups in the OCR specification. Each one is set out with the same structure- first giving an opportunity for recall before revealing the answer. The lesson then introduces PAG7.3 (you will need to download the full details off the OCR interchange). After the practical there are a series of activities allowing students to apply what they have learned about the tests. These can be done individually or as a class. I am to actively reduce photocopying so all activities are in the PowerPoint (29 slides in total)

The assembly starts by explaining what looking forward means in terms of focusing on the future and being open to change. It then looks at new beginnings and offers some examples (e.g. new school year) The assembly then looks at the challenges involved in a new beginning and how they can be overcome. There are then three examples of people who have faced and overcome a new beginning- Serena Williams, Maya Angelou and Benjamin Pritchard The assembly closes with some final thoughts about the inevitability of change and how to grab it The final slide is a quote from Doc Brown from Back to the Future regarding how the future isn’t written yet

A complete lesson covering section 4.5.2.3 of the AQA Biology specification- the eye, its function and defects. Though would suit other awarding bodies GCSE courses. The lesson starts with a retrieval starter covering content from paper 1 of AQA physics GCSE. There are then a few short activities recapping the structure of the brain, the structure of the eye and the function of the eye’s structures. The lesson then looks at the process of accommodation in healthy eyes and how this brings images into focus. Students then answer some summary questions. The lesson then looks at myopia and hyperopia including how they are caused and then the use of lenses to treat them. Students then complete a worksheet (included) summing up the two eye defects and their treatment. The final part of the lesson is a series of exam questions covering the content from the lesson All answers included. A total of 24 slides
