CB6a lesson from the new Edexcel science GCSE (9-1) looking at photosynthesis. The lesson includes what photosynthesis is, the word equation for photosynthesis, uses of starch and sucrose, starch in variegated leaves practical and how leaves are well adapted to carry out photosynthesis.

CB6b lesson from the new Edexcel Science GCSE (9-1) about factors that affect photosynthesis. Including what a limiting factor is, examples of limiting factors, limiting factor graphs and inverse square law.

A series of worksheets designed for a use on/after a sampling fieldtrip. Originally designed for sixth form Biology but several aspects could be used for a GCSE fieldtrip. Worksheet 1: Ecological concepts- Explains populations, communities, abiotic and biotic factors and asks them to comment on different factors at the sample site. Worksheet 2: Comparing plant communities in two different areas- Explains how to determine how many quadrats to use, how to randomly place quadrats, how to estimate percentage cover and recording tables for two different sites. Worksheet 3: Taking a transect- Explains the different types of transect and asks them to comment on a transect they have taken. Worksheet 4: Data analysis- Includes Simpson's diversity index and the chi-square tests, with worked examples and space to work out their own for each of them.
