OCR A Level Biology A specification linked lesson on Carbohydrate Chemical Tests. This is one lesson of three on carbohydrates for the specification. Objectives covered: Recall the difference between a reducing and a non-reducing sugar, with examples of each. To test qualitatively for the presence of glucose (a reducing sugar) and sucrose (a non-reducing sugar). Test for reducing sugars using reagent test strips. Interpret the results of the investigation into reducing and non-reducing sugars. Check out my other lessons and the accompanying workbook with exam questions (and answer booklet included).

OCR A Level Biology A lesson on Phospholipids and Chemical Tests for lipids. This is one of two lessons on lipids to meet the specification points for 2.1.2 Biological Molecules. Objectives for this lesson: Describe the properties and structure of phospholipids. Test qualitatively for the presence of lipids. Explain how you would interpret the results of the emulsion test. Check out my other lessons and the accompanying workbook with exam questions (and answer booklet included).

Attached is two resources, the first is the marking sticker. The second is a reference handout for students to use to help them when responding to marking and completing the tasks necessary to fill the gaps in their learning. This is designed for the start of the forces topic, focusing on what are forces and the different types of forces. On the marking sticker, then colour code the different learning outcomes when marking their books as either red, amber or green to make it simple for the pupils to see which outcomes they need to focus on and which they are fine with. Or these stickers could be altered by adding an additional column and using WWW and EBI instead. Both are effective methods of providing feedback for pupils. The bottom two boxes allow for tasks to be set and any more generalised feedback to be provided by ticking any relevant boxes. The second attachment is the resources to be used by the pupils in a feedback lesson (DIRT lesson). I print the slides off two to a page, back-to-back with one between two for pupils. This provides them with the tasks necessary to meet the learning objectives and close any gaps in learning. I find these tasks much easier for pupils to use than simply directing them to textbook pages. Some of the pictures and questions taken from other resources and compiled here. Hope these resources help with your marking and feedback, if so please leave a review and feel free to view other resources I have.

Digestive System Interactive Notebook is an alternative method to simply labeling the digestive system in lesson. Suitable for KS3 and KS4.I have often found students often struggle to retain knowledge from simply sticking a diagram in their book and labeling it, so I created this as a more hands on approach to the human digestive system. There are 2 versions of the sheet for differentiation; one unlabeled, the other with the organs already labeled. The sheet is printed off and folded along the vertical fold line. The student then cuts along each of the horizontal lines to the fold line. They can then glue the sheet into their books and now have a flap based digestive system. The students then label the parts, find information on the organs and write this information under each of the relevant flaps. The final part is to colour in the different organs. Hope you like this resource, please leave a review and take a look at some of my other resources. Thanks
