Food Chains and Food Webs

(0)
This PowerPoint resource provides is fun and easy-to-use. It includes a series of show and simple activities that introduce students to food chains, what they are and what they represent. It covers several key terms for the topic, including: producer, consumer, herbivore, omnivore and carnivore. This resource also covers disruptions to food chains and why food webs provide a more accurate representation of a natural ecosystem than food chains do.

Aerobic Respiration

(0)
This resource on aerobic respiration begins by addressing the misconception that “breathing and respiration are the same”. It then introduces the equation for aerobic respiration before looking at ATP, what it is and what it is used for. This resources includes some past paper questions and answers on the topic.
Circulatory System

Circulatory System

(0)
This resource introduces circulatory systems, compares circulatory systems in different vertebrate classes (fish, amphibians and mammals), compares veins arteries and capillaries, and also looks at the impact of fatty deposits on blood pressure. It includes a range of activities and questions for students to answer on the topic.
Photosynthesis

Evidence for Evolution

(0)
This resources is best used after a lesson, or series of lessons, on fossils and how they provide evidence for evolution. This resource provides a visual aid for introducing some of the other forms of evidence for evolution and invites students to create a presentation to deliver to the class on one piece of evidence. The resource concludes with a big question that can be answered in class or as a longer homework assignment.
Graph Drawing Marking Framework
harriet_newhouseharriet_newhouse

Graph Drawing Marking Framework

(0)
This graph drawing resource functions as both a checklist and marking framework for students. At the start of my graph drawing activity, I hand students a copy of the marking framework and remind the students how to draw a scientific graph. Students then use the checklist as they draw their graphs to ensure they have included everything they need for full marks. Students then either hand in their graphs or swap graphs with their peers and the marking framework is used to give students a grade for their graphs.
Punnet Squares
harriet_newhouseharriet_newhouse

Punnet Squares

(0)
This resource provides a useful and easy to use visual for introducing Mendelian Genetics and Punnet Squares. It includes useful links to videos and a key word list. I begin the lesson by introducing some of the subject specific terms, such as dominant and recessive traits, genotype and phenotype, and homozygosity and heterozgosity. I then briefly introduce Mendel and punnet squares before handing over to the students to complete a few activities on the topic.
Density

Density

(0)
This fun, creative and easy-to-use resource introduces the equation for density and includes practice questions for students to answer. It also includes a useful visual to help students understand why some objects float whilst others sink and invites students to carry out their own research on Archimedes.
Tissues in the Gaseous Exchange System

Tissues in the Gaseous Exchange System

(0)
This high quality and easy-to-use resource covers the tissues in the gaseous exchange system and is specifically designed for students studying OCR A-Level Biology. It includes information about the structures and functions of the components of the mammalian gaseous exchange system. Students should begin by watching my video tutorial, which is freely available on YouTube (Channel: BiologyWithNewhouse - I have included a link to my video tutorial in the note taking framework). Students should then use information from the video tutorial to help them complete the note taking framework. This can be done entirely independently or with teacher support.

Plant Responses - Photoperiodism

(0)
This high quality and easy-to-use resource on ‘plant responses to the environment’ is specifically designed for students studying OCR A-Level Biology. It includes information about photoperiodism and phytochromes in plants. Students should begin by watching my video tutorial on this topic, which is freely available via my YouTube channel: BiologyWithNewhouse. I have included a link to the video tutorial in the activity sheet. Students should then use information from the video tutorial and the PowerPoint slides to help them complete the activity sheet. This can be done entirely independently, as a flip-learning exercise, or with teacher support.
