Full A-Level Biology lesson. Suitable for all A-Level Biology specifications but was originally designed for Edexcel Biology B specifications. Lesson explains the different parts of the eye, contains links to youtube dissection video. Practice exam questions and also explains the role of rod and cone cells. Rhodopsin and its role in the retina is also covered.
Ready to use! Straight out of the box, no printing of resources needed. Lesson relates to AQA Chemistry/Trilogy 9-1 Specification. Lesson contains a simple but interactive True or False starter. Clear definitions of pure substances, mixtures, formulation. Lesson also builds into discussion of heating curves, melting points, boiling points and how these relate to state of matter. Also contains example exam question and plenary at end. Could be incorporated into a practical lesson relating to heating curves. I used this as a theory lesson with middle ability Year 11 students.
Enjoy. Feedback welcome.
