This resource introduces the water cycle, the key terms relating to the water cycle, and how polluted water effects the water cycle. The resource includes activities for the students to complete, for example students describe the journey of a water molecule from a river high in the mountains, through the atmosphere and eventually back to the starting point. The resource also includes an experiment that students could complete to investigating the effect of pollution (acid rain) on seed germination.

This resource covers pyramids of biomass and calculating the efficiency of biomass transfer. It explains how pyramids of biomass are draw, why biomass decreases at each topic level, and the equation for calculating the efficiency of biomass transfer.

This resources covers the structure and function of the kidney. It includes information about ultrafiltration and selective reabsorption, a series of activities for students to complete, useful diagrams and links to animations on the topic. It also covers how the volume of urine produced is controlled through negative feedback.

This resource covers the control of blood sugar and what happens if you are unable to produce enough insulin. It includes useful links to animations on blood glucose control and questions for students to answer.

This resource introduces thermoregulation and the actions or behaviours that increase or decrease heat loss. The resource includes a quick quiz and activity intstructing students to produce an A4 summary diagram explaining thermoregulation in humans.

This resource introduces osmosis, and how plant and animal cells are effected by hypotonic, hypertonic and isotonic solutions.

This resource introduces the menstrual cycle and the main hormones involved in regulating the cycle. It includes a fun snakes-and-ladders game to help students learn more about what happens at each stage of the cycle and encourages students to create their own summary resource.

This resource introduces negative feedback in the context of the endocrine system, using the example of thyroxine and the thyroid gland.

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.

This resource introduces diffusion and the factors that effect the rate of diffusion, in a fun and interactive way. The lesson includes a simple experiment to test how temperature effects the rate of diffusion.

This resource introduces the limiting factors and the factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis. Students describe and explain a series of graphs before discussing why greenhouses are used to optimise conditions for photosynthesis.

This resource introduces a series of experiments relating to the reactants and products of photosynthesis. The experiments provide evidence that carbon dioxide, chlorophyll and sunlight are required for photosynthesis to occur, and that oxygen and glucose are produced.

This resource introduces photosynthesis, the work and symbol equation for photosynthesis, what happens to the glucose produced in photosynthesis and compares photosynthesis and respiration. The lesson concludes with three short answer past paper questions on photosynthesis.

This resource introduces anaerobic respiration and compares aerobic and anaerobic respiration. The lesson begins an activity comparing the equations for aerobic and anaerobic respiration, it then explains why people get stitches and pant heavily after exercise. It considers the advantages and disadvantages of anaerobic respiration and how it can be used commercially. The resource includes past paper questions and answers, as well as a graph for students to describe and explain.

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.

This resource introduces the different food groups, how and why they are broken down, and the tests used by scientists to find out which food groups different products contain.

This resource considers four factors that effect the rate of an enzyme-catalysed reaction: temperature, pH, concentration of enzyme, and concentration of substrate. This resource includes enough information and visual aids to fill 2 or 3 lessons. When I teach this topic, my students carry out a simple experiment, looking at the rate of hydrogen peroxide decomposition, to provide experimental evidence for the effect of pH and temperature on enzyme (catalase) activity.

This resources provides a fun and colourful introduction to enzymes. It is both a useful visual aid and includes past paper questions for students to answer. The resource defines enzymes as biological catalysts, made of protein, and breaks this definition down so that it is easy to understand. It introduces the lock and key theory as well as denaturation.

This resource introduces electron microscopy, compares light and electron microscopy and considers the advantages and disadvantages of light and electron microscopy.

This resource introduces prokaryotic cells. It describes and explains the features that enable prokaryotic cells to perform their functions.
